We all know what it’s like to start the year with a clear set of intentions. Some people call them resolutions, but it’s more about your intention to start something, or develop something you are already working on that gives you the best chance to make this your best year yet.
We also know that many good intentions get lost along the way, and usually it’s for a very good reason. We don’t take the time to develop the clarity we need to succeed.
By using the following format you will not only develop a clear plan of action steps but if you set your calendar to update the list throughout the year, you will stand a greater chance of succeeding beyond your wildest dreams.
Before you begin, think about what you wish to accomplish in 2018. Be ambitious, but realistic about what you can accomplish with the time and resources you have available.
Take your time with this exercise and you will be rewarded with clarity and focus to fulfill your desires.
