It’s the end of the year. We feel the pressure to make our resolutions. What should we consider when drafting plans to grow ourselves and our business in the coming year? Math may or may not be your strong suit, but planning and success are measurable points upon an X and Y axis. 1. I didn’t have a plan and I didn’t reach my goals I didn’t have a plan. I was not able to achieve my goals. This may or may not be the result of not having a plan. For the coming year we would have nothing to lose by drafting and implementing a plan. The bar was set low last year and we knocked it over. This year it’s time to give setting the bar a chance, unless we want to continue in mediocrity. Did you have a plan but you just don’t want to admit that you failed? There is something to stating your goals aloud or at least in writing. If you want to increase your achievement potential you may find some value in our video on personal organization. 2. I didn’t have a plan and I reached my goals I didn’t have a plan. I was able to achieve my goals. As noted before, perhaps you did have a plan but you didn’t want to state it for the record just in case you didn’t reach your marks. Many are afraid of failure, but it is also common to be afraid of success. Don’t allow yourself to fail in planning simply because you are afraid to fail. If you are experiencing fear of failure you may find some value in our fear mantra. You can take a gamble on not having a plan and being able to reach your goals in the coming year. Or you can take the momentum you had from last year and improve that through composing and declaring your plans for the coming year. 3. I had a plan and I didn’t reach my goals I had a plan. I was not able to achieve my goals. This may or may not have been the result of having a plan. Was the issue with the plan, the execution or a failure to adapt? Having a plan does not mean that we can guarantee our results. We like to practice rigid flexibility. We want to have a plan but we must be able to adapt as we receive new information or experience obstacles. If you crave success you will need to prepare to succeed. If you want to take yourself to the next level in your personal and professional development, it’s time to make a plan for how you are going to use the hours that you have — make a plan for what you will do with the hours everyone else is wasting. 4. I had a plan and I reached my goals I had a plan. I was able to achieve my goals. Take a little victory dance. You did it. You were intentional about your approach to last year. You were able to execute your plan, adapt in the face of obstacles and persevere to the end of the year. Now that you have tasted success, can you repeat it? It is likely that the same exact plan executed in the same exact way will not bring the same result. The only constant is that things are constantly changing. The good news is that you now have a habit for success and you have tasted the glory of it. This should provide you with a template as well as the motivation to repeat your efforts from last year and carry them into the new one. Whether you planned and/or succeeded, this is a new year and a fresh new opportunity to chase life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In drafting your plan, consider the following: 1. Is your vision clear for the coming year? 2. Are your goals rooted in your mission? 3. Are there habits that need to be eliminated? 4. Are there parts of your system that can be simplified? 5. Do you need to adjust your structure? When we invest in creating an end of year plan, we help to clarify and solidify our vision. If vision is tied to reality than it should filter through our personal and organizational disciplines. Vision fuels our habits. Vision combined with goals will clarify our mission. Whether we want to grow or not, growth is essential. Whether we think we need change or not, adaptation is the root of survival. Failure is not final and neither is success. Whether last year was one of achievement or disappointment this is a fresh new year and we can change things or build on our momentum through the simple act of planning. Prepare yourself to succeed. Success tomorrow starts with making a plan today. IZ Ventures - business coaching & consulting. We don’t just consult - we help you Connect, Collaborate & Conquer.

Caiden reviews Quick Pick Burgers We keep passing this burger spot near Tacoma, Washington and are always looking for that hidden gem of a burger shack with the combo of good quality grilled hamburger, tasty French fri s and delicious milkshake. If you are near Fife / Auburn, this spot is delicious. It's cash only and has no indoor seating, other than this it is on point. Zeke rates Los Amigos Taqueria What makes a restaurant? Flavors that make you crave their handmade creations and a unique vibe that makes you want to come back. Los Amigos is housed in a silver bus of the main drag in Puyallup, in the cold and rain it's is cozy and fun but seating is limited. The food is priced right, tacos are $1.50 and the flavors are authentic with the right amount of spice to tantalize. Recommend horchata and tacos. |
