3 Things to do before year end that 95%+ will not do!

After much reading, discussing and watching I am convinced that more than 95% of people going into a new year don't have written measurable goals for the year. I have talked with people that have no written goals for the year we are in 2019, and it’s almost over.

Most of us have heard this bit of goal setting "Wisdom" and still don't have written goals.

So! Now is the time to begin looking toward the New Year 2020. 

1.    Set an appointment with yourself for 30 - 60 minutes this month. Get blank paper or a blank computer screen and begin writing your thoughts and ideas for accomplishment next year. This first attempt at goal setting doesn't have to be neat --- just take time to think about and write your ideas and thoughts down. My beginning session is usually quite messy and unorganized. Put this information away in a place you absolutely won't forget where it is, so that you can retrieve it early December.  

2.    Set another appointment with yourself for 30 - 60 minutes early December and get your list out. You will be amazed at the progress you will have already made toward thinking about and planning your goals for next year. Your fist list may be messy, but you will be ready to define and refine the list. You will be subtracting, adding and modifying the original set of goals. Make the list a little neater and resolve to begin your goals and measure your goals.

3.    Set an appointment with yourself near the end of December. I like doing this during the holiday season when I’m not working and can take time to really work and think about my goals. Make your list neat and put it in a place to retrieve it often. Goals will get completed. Also, you will see need for changing the goals and adding new ones.

Why do I believe in doing this? It's because I use this method every year and then I set a tracking system and measure progress. This works!

Try for yourself and get into the 5% group of people who write and strive to achieve their goals. 

Remember a lot of "Luck" goes along with a lot of preparation.  

Look out 2020 here we come!
