Welcome back from your tryptophan induced weekend coma. Welcome to the Holiday season and the sprint to the finish of 2022. How is 2022 wrapping up for you? How do you match up against you goals for the year? How do you fell about the outcome? Have you set into plan you goal for 2023? A goal is a clear objective driven by desired and purposeful outcome. Is that how you feel about your goals? Goals are essential elements in you personal, social, and business life. Focus not on where you are but where you desire to go. I challenge you to start thinking in larger blocks of time for you goal and to be honest something I have not really done in the past, and that is working on ten-year plan for the goals. IF we think of our year in terms of a 1-3-5 and 4-11, than how about a team year plan broken into a 1-3-5-10 plan? Gary Keller says you are Never more then 5 years away from where you want to be. So I say be BOLD and double it. To set those plans to paper and in motion you have to vision and break your life into compartments: work, home, & social. Then you need to demand from yourself clear answers to the questions: What do you want to accomplish, what do I want to be, and what will it take to satisfy me? …Without knowing that there is no way to start setting your goals.
