Why is it that we have resolutions in the New Year when we should be considering what we need to do throughout the whole year?  I invite you to think about what is important to you and to write goals (not resolutions) that encompass all areas of your life.

1. Develop some goal statements.  That is, what do you want to achieve?  These goal statements must be SMART, that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely.  For example I want to sell $10,000 in product next month.
2. Consider having goals for different areas of your life, one for personal, one for work, one for health, one for friendship.
3. Let others know about your goal so that you will be more committed to it.  For example, let others know that you plan to lose 20 pounds over the next 12 months, they may help you with it by suggesting that you exercise together or may even have some great low fat recipes.
4. If you are going to give up a habit, replace it with something else.  For example if you are going to give up smoking consider some nicotine substitutes (there are plenty available at the Chemist or drug store).
5. Write down your goal so that you are more committed to it.
