SETTING YOUR 2015 GOALS : IT’S NOT TOO LATE

On December 30th I hosted a FREE webinar titled, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOU LATELY?

TIRED OF REACHING THE END OF YET ANOTHER YEAR AND FEELING AS IF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE BEEN FEW AND FAR BETWEEN? FINDING TIME FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY, BUT NOT FOR YOU?

Maybe it’s more about what you are NOT doing, rather than what you are.

Let me give you THREE SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKING 2015 THE YEAR OF YOUR DREAMS!

Well, that was three weeks ago and since then I have helped many women work through the cobwebs and get their 2015 plans out of their heads and on to paper.

However, I have spoken to many more who still have taken not one step toward planning for an AWESOME 2015.

Sadly, they are at risk of having a repeat of the same issues that kept them stuck in 2014.

Interestingly enough, the statistics surrounding goal setting, resolution making, or any other descriptive that you want to give it, are pretty dismal.

According to a recent article in the Washington Post:

  • Less than half of us take the time to draft anything.
  • 25 percent of us don’t even stick with what we commit to for seven measly days.

On a positive note, however, Ilya Pozin a Forbes magazine contributor, spells out in an article the following:

12 Things All Successful People Do

1. Boldly fail. Failure can and will happen, regardless of how awesome your work ethic is. The most successful people understand the reality of failure and its importance in finding success. While you may want to run and hide after you fail, you must learn from your mistakes to ensure you don’t fail in the same way the second time around.

2. Set goals. Those who are successful set daily achievable goals. Find success by solidifying goals that are S.M.A.R.T. — smart, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely. Get rid of long-term goals and establish small daily goals to achieve your vision more easily.

3. It’s not always about luck. It’s all too easy to chalk up success to being in the right place at the right time. While this certainly is an element of success, you can’t forget the crucial involvement of blood, sweat, and tears. Don’t hold yourself back by waiting for the perfect timing or idea. Some of the most successful people got there by hitting the ground running, even if timing wasn’t perfect.

4. Carefully track your progress. Often, success comes down to keeping your eye on the prize while regularly monitoring behaviors, strategies, and tactics. You can’t make adjustments if you don’t know how you’re doing. Be sure to hold yourself accountable by checking your progress as often as possible and getting feedback when it’s due.

5. Don’t wait to act. Successful people don’t always know the right answer, but they keep moving anyway. Taking action will lead to answers, so don’t let obstacles stall you when you’re searching for the right solution.

6. Connect the dots. Those who are successful have the ability to see the greater picture. Look at things in a “past, present, and future” context to receive favorable results.

7. Harness your confidence. You’ve got to truly believe in your abilities. Assess yourself to gain a clear understanding of what you are able to accomplish, and use this as fuel to light your own fire.

8. Commit. Success doesn’t come without effort. The most successful individuals are often the most committed to what they’re working toward. Go the extra mile every day and make no exceptions.

9. Be alert. Awareness breeds success. If you’re not keyed in to your environment, you’re sure to miss opportunities. Listen to what’s being said about your company, constantly hone feedback, and keep your eyes and ears on your entire industry.

10. Persevere. Truly successful people never give up. Do they ever fail? Yes. But as times get hard, their stamina to move forward doesn’t wane. Develop a willingness to work through the challenges you encounter along the way.

11. Communicate like a pro. Those who are successful have an ease for convincing others. They don’t manipulate or pressure but logically explain the benefits. Communicating with confidence will allow you to more easily negotiate your visions.

12. Display humility. Success doesn’t have to come with an ego. In fact, many successful people don’t have one. This is because they understand that while extraneous factors come into play, some failure can be chalked up to their own shortcomings. Never forget to hold yourself accountable for every aspect of your life. This is how you’ll remain focused and humble.
