on friday i sat down and worked on my business goals for 2012. last week i came across a great outline to follow, which gave me a lot of guidance and much-needed clarity. because, you have to admit, though goal-setting often starts as an uplifting, motivating activity, it can often descend into overwhelming drudgery quite quickly. so, with the outline as my guide, i set forth to set down in writing my lofty (but not completely ridiculous) biz goals for 2012.
there's something about putting your aspirations on paper that makes them feel instantly more real & attainable. and, not only did i set down my goals, which is all well and good, but i also listed step-by-step ways to go about achieving them. i think that's the step that i often miss. i love thinking, dreaming and fantasizing about my goals and how wonderful it will be when i reach them, but then i float onward without real direction. often getting led (slightly) astray.
the new year is just over 2 weeks away. instead of hurriedly thinking about your goals (i.e. resolutions) on new year's day, take this time to mull it over. with all the hustle and bustle these next few weeks, take a few quiet moments to contemplate and set down the things that you would most like to achieve this year. what would bring you true happiness?
and, whether it's a business idea, a health makeover or a new skill you wish to acquire, think about the necessary steps to make it happen. it will be what you make it.
