How are you preparing for the NEW YEAR?

NEW YEAR'S REALITY CHECK:

It seems like the masses plan for the new year, creating flashy lists of what they intend to start doing, stop doing and how their lives will have a fresh start as they execute their newly formed plan. Somehow the thrill of a new year gives us a sense of hope that every aspect of lives can be rejuvenated - our spirituality, our finances, our personal and professional lives. The promise of a new year makes us want to try harder on all the goals we slacked on and pushes us to forget our trials and focus on the ideal that NEXT year will be even bigger and better. If 2009 was good, 2010 will be GREAT! And it can be, but how?! If we continue to make false promises to ourselves and formulate a plan with no action, we will continue to have the same results. So again, I ask, how are you preparing for the new year?!

If you're not sure where to start, FAB has a few tips just for you!

Tips (and thoughts) to help you make your New Year's Plan of Action come to life . . .


- Write down your wish list without hesitation. What would you like to accomplish if it were the ideal world?

- How can you break up your wish list into buckets: 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months?

- What are the resources you need to make your goals a reality?

- At the end of this year, what is your #1 goal that you want to have accomplished?

- What do you want to START, STOP and CONTINUE doing in the new year?

- What is going to be your source of inspiration and motivation to achieve your goals?

Lastly, make sure you WRITE DOWN your goals in your career journal BEFORE 2010 so that you have a full 12 months to make your dreams a reality!


Good luck and best wishes on a FABulous new year!
