Are You Ready for 2012 New Year Resolutions?
Thousands of People every year around January 1 will work on their New Year Resolutions.
Did you know the New Year’s Resolution started in the 4th Century in Rome? They made resolutions with a moral flavor, mostly to be good to others. But when the Roman Empire took Christianity as it official state religion, those moral intentions were replaced by prayers and fasting.
You might want to lose weight, want to stop smoking; you might be athletes that want to increase your athletic ability, save money, pay off debts, a business owner who desires to achieve financial goals or having more time freedom….
In Any Case, Let’s have invitation to dream big!!
You need to have the End in Mind. What do you want to achieve in your future?
What will keep you going when sometimes you may feel like you can’t achieve your success?
What actually gives you the Rocket Fuel to achieve your goals and dreams?
Let’s start by connecting the dots so you can apply your action plan and stay focused on the outcome.
One great way is to write in a journal, write out everything you want to accomplish in your future. Now, let’s take it down a notch….
We need to have the ability to stay on task. So let’s break down what we want to accomplish this next year.
I know when I decided I wanted to lose weight; I had to have an action plan. I wrote in a daily food journal of what I ate, I wrote my exercise routine for the day and I got on the scale daily to see my weight. I wrote down each day my new weight. Now looking at it day by day, I could have lost nothing or 1 pound. Over a course of one year, I lost a total of 60 pounds. I knew I wanted to be thinner; I knew I wanted a change in my life and knew I had to accomplish my goal. It was not always easy to stay committed to the task but I had an end in my mind what I wanted.
What makes Entrepreneur have success? I would bet my life that most successful people have their dreams written down, they have daily planner to stay focused on their dreams and goals. Successful people know clearly what they want.
You have to start today on your New year Resolutions…..
Take each step to accomplish your dreams. Setting your goals is a powerful motivating process to turn your vision of your future into reality and where you want to go in life.
Consider writing a Mission statement that can be used as part of your personal approach to goal setting, mission and vision statements are useful for bringing sharp focus to your most important goal, and for helping you to quickly identify which opportunities you should pursue.
This is what I mean when I say dream big… Yes, you need your practical dream, meaningful dream and your Fun Dream. You have to have your dreams and goals clearly defined to take you to your next level.
Every step you take requires help from others. You may consider a coach, mentor, someone there to keep you accountable. At the same time, you may be helping them to be stronger and keeping them focused on their dreams and goals. We can all work together as partners to get the best results. One person can achieve many things but a team of people wanting the same results can carry the world.
I started my article last night because I was thinking of what my 2012 goals and dreams. I started to write them out and I realize how I could impact someone by writing this article. I feel very fortunate because I had decided to further my education with Internet Marketing. Tonight on our 15k Formula training, Nicole Cooper spoke about planning and staying focused with your goals. She suggested about a day planner to keep you focused and clearly knowing what you want to accomplish. It is wonderful knowing I have invested my time so I may have the skills from successful online marketers.
Are you ready for Your 2012 New Year Resolution?
Ask yourself what I can do today to stay focused. If you do have a setback that tomorrow is another day. Have your goals clearly laid out, have your Mission statement, Vision Statement written out, then concentrate on the daily activities that will produce results. Read your affirmations first thing in the morning or as you go to bed.
If your day did not work out as you planned, that is ok, just keep your focus and you will see your dreams and goals come true.
My wish for all is to have a prosperous 2012 New Year and many wonderful dreams will come true for you.
