The New Year is upon us and I am sure that you have each set your goals for this year. If not then I encourage you to ask yourself why. If it is common knowledge that people who set, write down, and plan out goals are more successful and make more money then why wouldn’t you do it. Here is great exercise that I am doing that may help about choosing and focusing on one goal. This exercise was taken from the video by Brian Tracy: If You Could Achieve One Goal in 24 Hours
- Write ten goals you want to accomplish in the next 12 months
- Ask yourself if you could only accomplish one goal on this list and I could accomplish this goal within 24 hours, which one goal would have the greatest positive impact on your life?
- Circle that goal, set a deadline for that goal
- Make a list of everything that you can do to achieve that goal
- Begin working on the goal and be sure to do something every day
Sometimes we can overwhelm ourselves with the laundry list of things that we want to accomplish. With this exercise we are able to focus on one thing that will have an impact on our lives and see measurable results. That in turn will help motivate us to move forward on other goals because there is no better motivator than success.

This is a good point...it is so easy to make resolutions and so hard to stick with them. For instance when trying to lose weight one usually focuses on food....when maybe it would be helpful to start out just by walking for 30 minutes a day or some other form of exercise. When that becomes a habit and part of your daily routine then maybe focus more on the foods you eat. Otherwise we overwhelm ourselves and give up.
