It's the new year 2010, it will be a year of many great successes. Have you set any goals for this year?
Many people will have said new year resolution or goals. But inorder to succeed, it is best to write it down on paper and have a think of the reasons why you want to achieve them and dream how you will feel when you achieved it?
Best to set some very easy to achieve goals and goals that will stretch you. Every time you achieve a goal celebrate.
Use Who/Where/What/When/Why/How and write it down and stick it somewhere that will remind you daily? Then put into little steps for action.
Determine your goals and make steps towards that direction. You can do a little bit each day, say 10 minutes, half and hour or an hour. What ever you can, but do it daily or at least weekly. Be persistent and continue.
Also have a review and think where you are now. It's good to think about goals, but if you don't know where you are then how do you get to your destination. It's about knowing where A and B is, then you can get from A to B.
It's doesn't have to be perfect, just by doing it and learning from what you have done will gain you experience to do it better in the future.
I heard this quote, which says "sloppy success, is better than perfect mediocrity"
If you have set yourself say to learn something or read a book then do a bit daily or a few times in a week. One of the things I have learnt to do is to use a countdown online timer. The idea is to basically set 4 times a week of 50 minutes session undisturb (eg turn the phone to silient) to do things towards your goal. Be countdown gives you a little pressure and helps you do more.
So summary have a think back what you wanted to achieve last year? Where are you now? And where you want to be in the future (1 month, 6 months, 1 year time); then break it down to steps and actions; then make it happen.
To your success in 2010
