Every new year millions of people across the globe make new year resolutions and for most they give up before the end of January. I am one of those people. Every year I make a list of goals and aspirations and every year I throw in the towel straight of the gate. Well this year, I’m making my goals public in hopes to have support from family and friends and encouragement to go beyond my goals.
2012 Goals:
1. Get healthy! -I know this is cliche but I don’t necessarily want to lose weight, I just want to live a healthier lifestyle. Eat better, be more active, and strengthen my body.
2. Be proactive in both my business and personal life. -You make your life what you want it to be. You can’t sit there and expect greatness to come to you. You have to get out there and grab it.
3. Be more social. -Attend networking events and get to know my peers.
4. Stay focused- Stay focused on my business and it’s growth. Don’t get lazy and simply say “I wish I had more business.” Follow through on ideas, projects, advertisements, etc.
5. Give Back- Find a way to give back to the community, person in need, etc. Volunteer, donate services, anything to help
6. Get Organized- Both personally and business wise. Organization helps to keep you on track.
7. Nurture my creativity- All those ideas swarming around in my head. Sit down, write them out, and then write the steps necessary to make it happen. Follow through and make my ideas come to life. Reach out to collaborate, share your vision, and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
8. Learn to say no- Say no when you’ve already taken on too much. Say no when approached with a job that isn’t a good fit. Focus on your strengths and opportunities that will push you forward.
9. Learn to let go- Outsource when it becomes too much and relinquish control. Make time for family.
10. Love deeply- surrounded myself by those I love and who love me. Always share my feelings and show my love and appreciation.
Now that my goals and open to the world, I have no choice put to push forward and reach them. Every month I’ll update you on my progress and the actions I’ve taken to reach them. Thank you for all of you who follow along and encourage me. I truly appreciate all of you.
