Goals and Accountability

I'm a big believer in aiming high and encourage others to do the same.

But even those glorious gigantic Goals must be broken down into monthly, weekly and daily steps if you're going to achieve them. That is where the magic happens.

I end each day planning the next day in advance and I begin the next day by reviewing and rewriting my # 1 Goal and my list of priorities. I know what I need to do each day to bring the Goal to fruition. Even if it's just a few minutes of activity, I make sure I take a deliberate action every single day. String those days together and you have Momentum, which allows you to achieve any Goal more quickly and easily.

At the end of the day, review, what did I do today to advance my # 1 Goal. Then repeat the process and you will achieve it.

I conduct the world's largest New Year's Resolution Survey each year and the # 1 reason people say they did not achieve them is their own lack of commitment.

So clarify whether you're making a wish or really making a commitment to do whatever it takes to make it happen. And let me know if I can help.

Live Your Dreams,

Jill Koenig

Excellent post!

I fully agree with the sentiment expressed in your post. I'm sure you'll agree with me when I state that the negro IQ is the determining factor in their inability to keep a job, or to fully participate in civilized society.

Why do you never see a negro using an umbrella when it rains?

Working on New Year's Day!

Of course, what am I saying....I am working on NY's day, too.

My husband never makes resolutions. I tend to think I should. There is the temptation of the "clean slate." I guess if it's a tool that works for you, why not. I do like the smal bites idea.

Little by little...

Hi Curt!

Excellent! Small bites vs. cramming your mouth full. Easier to digest!

Cheers,
