Make it a Goal instead of a New Year's Resolution

Every year people make New Year's resolutions that they vow to keep. However, many fall by the wayside - some as early as the end of January, others perhaps later. How about GOALS? It's been said that a goal is just a dream if you fail to write it down? Have you made an honest appraisal of where you are in your business right now and where you'd like to be 3 months, 6 months, 1 year from now? Have you put the steps you'll need to take to achieve those goals on paper? I've been working on my steps for the past two weeks and still have some fine-tuning to do, but I've determined what I need to do each day to reach my goals.

I wish I could give credit to the author of the following, but I have no idea who wrote it...I only know I've had it in my office for quite some time and I'd like to share it with you:

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS WITH GOALS

Your dreams are you vision of where you'll be after the battle,
your prize at the end of your journey to success.
Your goals are the steps you take to finally attain your prize.

Unless you're willing to work hard and establish some discipline in your life,
all of your dreams will be pipe dreams,
little mental fantasy trips that will never materialize.

Make concrete steps toward fulfilling your ultimate dream,
and start with solid objectives and goals.

Your dreams are where you want to go,
your goals are how you get there.

The indespensable first step
to getting the things you want out of life is this:
Decide what you want.

Don't be afraid to think big and dare to be great.
Dreamers are not content with mediocrity.
They never dream of going halfway.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
