Exactly how much money do you have to make? What has to happen
in your personal life? What about your health? Write a
description of what events have to take place, where they need
to occur, who is involved, and when things must be done. The
clearer the description of what you want, the better the odds
are that you will attain that goal. And remember to make these
things you really want, don't list things that someone else
wants for you, if you don't want them as well. Pick five of
these best things that can happen to you and turn them into
goals, in order to focus your efforts on your top priorities. Be
sure to check for conflicting goals, lying on the beach, does
not go with starting a new business.
When looking at your goals for next year, make sure they are
measurable, since you will want to track your progress during
the year and make any changes in your plans as they are needed.
Be sure to budget the funds necessary to implement your goal,
and also assign a time budget to it, so you can see what is
involved. You may find that breaking down the goals into smaller
and smaller pieces makes the process more manageable.

year will be your best year yet. This will generate some
pressure to live up to the announcement and help keep you
motivated. Plus, your subconscious mind will work to support
this statement. Next, start implementing the plan. All the plans
in the world mean nothing unless you take action.
As you move through the implementation process, be sure to give
yourself credit for what you have accomplished thus far, even if
you have not reached the goal. This will keep your morale up and
help keep you motivated.
If you have a setback or lose your motivation to work on the
goal during the year, remind yourself of the reason you set the
goal, the payoff you expect to get from it, and this will help
you get back on track. Also, if you fail to make progress on the
goal, step back and ask yourself if it is still a worthy goal.
Perhaps you have changed or the circumstances have changed and
you should abandon the goal without feeling guilty. Lighten up
on yourself if some time has passed and you have not made the
progress you wanted to. Maybe your timetable was unrealistic, or
other legitimate things have come up to delay the project.

to goals.

anything else until it is completed. Another adage to keep in
mind is that it is better to do a little a lot, than a lot a
little. By this I mean it is better to keep working on your
goal, doing at least something daily, but keeping at it, rather
than trying to do everything at once, but only doing it
sporadically.
