New Year’s Resolutions
It is rapidly approaching the New Year. It is just weeks away and it is time that many people begin to focus on their New Year’s resolutions. So, I want to ask you one thing – how successful have you been in the past on achieving your New Year’s resolutions?
I have read in various documents that only a small percentage of people actually carry out their New Year’s resolutions beyond the first few weeks of the New Year. I believe that lack of focus and a game plan are partially responsible. The other part is a lack of a clear understanding of their purpose and passion, and not being specific on what goals or resolutions they want to achieve. Let’s face it. If you set a goal to secure a new job in 2010, wouldn’t you want to know what job would be most suitable for you?
I want you to think about your goals, and what you envision your life to be like in the future. What are your dreams? We’re going to do a little exercise to determine what your big dreams and goals are, and use this exercise to help develop your goals for the future. To do so, we’re going to focus on 4 separate areas in your life: business and career, finance, personal and wellness.
For each of the following questions, I want to you write down what your dream life would be like if you could live it right now.
Business and Career: What type of work will you be doing? Will you have a high-paying corporate job, or will you be working from home? Will you be working part-time or full-time?
Finance: What will your finances look like? How much money will you be making per year? How much money will you have in savings? Will you have a nice nest egg for retirement?
Personal: What type of home will you own? Where will you live? What will you do for leisure activities? What will your family structure be like? What type of car will you have? Where will you go on vacation?
Wellness: How will you feel? How will you look? What foods will you eat? How will you exercise? What will you do to relax and enjoy life?
Now, I want you to think about what it is that is preventing you from achieving your dreams. Is it money? Is it lack of focus? Is it procrastination? Is it lack of purpose? Is it negative self-talk? What is it that is standing in your way? If you remove those obstacles, will you be committed to achieving your goals in 2010?
