Goals, Goals, Goals…Some Tips on Execution
November 13, 2008
Happy Holidays/Happy New Year…or just Happy Tuesday!
So after a long and much needed break I am returning to the blog. I am taking the first piece of advice relating to goals and implementing it now: It is my goal to do at least three blogs a week every week this year. The advice most consistently given for personal and professional goals is to share your goals with other so you have accountability. With over 65 people regularly subscribed to this blog I have created some accountability and hopefully a better reading experience for all of you.
The first of the year is always exciting from my perspective. I love the clean slate, even after the worst of years you have an opportunity to start with a new budget, new goals, new attitude and for the anally organized like myself NEW FILES J. The downside is that February and March often roll around much too soon with December Dreams of all the great things to happen in the year to come have turned into obligations unfulfilled or plans that have fallen off track. I am hoping early in the year while your will and determination are still strong some motivation to stick with it!
And now I am going to cheat in writing my first blog of the year. While I would like to have the best advice for sticking to goals I figured why re-invent the wheel!
