Hey Reader,
As we approach the end of year 2024 many of us reflect on how well we've met this year's goals, while we start gearing up to set new ones for 2025. It's easy to set New Year's goals, but the real challenge is in achieving them.
โ
But hold on!
What about optimizing our goal setting routine to increase the chances of actually hitting those goals this new year?
โ
Here are a few principles I'm sharing with my clients that I'd like to share with you:
โ
1. ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ฏ ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ.
These will keep you focused on what truly matters and not get distracted by secondary goals. Make sure to incorporate actionable steps into your weekly plan to ensure consistent progress toward these priorities.
2. ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ ๐ต ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ.
We often overestimate what we can accomplish in 12 months. Planning for 9 months gives you a buffer for unexpected delays or setbacks. Plus, potentially it could get you a head start on 2026.
3. ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐พ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐.
Use these to track progress and make adjustments if needed. Bringing in an accountability partner could also be very helpful to keep the momentum.
4. ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐.
Approaching our lives and our business as opportunities to give rather than to take gives real meaning to the principle 'loving others as yourself,' and make life more fulfilling and purposeful.
5. ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐จ๐ก.
Lifeโs too short to chase goals at the expense of family, self-care, joy and peace of mind. Work hard, but don't forget to balance it with meaningful play.
โ
Happy goal setting!
Successfully,
Rozanne
