Prepare Now, Do Not Procrastinate


Are you prepared for 2012?

Preparedness starts with setting goals. Your process of goal-setting will determine your future. Unrealistic goals are the typical reason for lack of productivity and satisfaction.

Set performance goals, not outcome goals:

You should take care to set goals over which you have as much control as possible. There is nothing more dispiriting than failing to achieve a personal goal for reasons beyond your control. In business, these could be bad business environments or unexpected effects of government policy. In sport, for example, these reasons could include poor judging, bad weather, injury, or just plain bad luck. If you base your goals on personal performance, then you can keep control over the achievement of your goals and draw satisfaction from them.

What are your top 3 goals for 2012?

What are your goals for next month?

Have you considered your most important weekly & daily goals?

Once you have solid goals set, you can start your plan.
