Set Yourself Up For Success This New Year

Set Yourself Up For Success This New Year

It's 2021 and just as you did last year and the year before that, you've probably set some New Years' resolutions. By the time you get to February, these will be long forgotten as you get caught up with the daily grind of life.

Why not make a fresh start this year and do things differently by following this simple 5 step process. It's easy, effective, and convenient. It will help you make the changes that you know you need to make to bring new happiness into your life . . . starting right here, right now.

STEP 1: ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Take a few moments and reflect upon the past 12 months. Think about the high points and low points. Spend at least 5 minutes reviewing your past achievements. Then write down your answers to the following questions:

New Year’s Planning – Critical Success Factors

New Year’s Planning – Critical Success Factors

Whatever time of the year it is, you have probably set a working direction for the rest of the year, including clear-cut objectives. Your first-iteration plan to reach them should be in place. This now (whatever time it is – if you are thinking about it) seems like an ideal time to rethink the whole thing. In our sped-up 21st century world, plans are subject to change just as soon as – or perhaps even before – they are written.

If you haven’t already done so, now is an excellent time to review your company’s year-end results and plan for the coming year. If you’ve already created your annual plan, you may want to look at it in a new light.

A typical approach to planning suggests multiplying last year’s quantitative results by an acceptable growth factor. Industry standards vary, often from 5% to 25%. Add to that number scheduled enhancements to your product line plus solutions to critical problems you’ve been meaning to address, and that’s your plan.

Your Debt Free Plan for the New Year

Your Debt Free Plan for the New Year

Unmanaged spending using credit cards are the number one root cause that drives most people into credit card debt. If you are currently in debt and thinking of having a debt-free life shortly, you need to start to look into your debt seriously; steering clear of unwanted debt is a great way to manage your finances and relieve the stress caused by debt. Here are some debt-free steps which you can put in place as your New Year's plan:

1. Change Your Spending Behavior

You cannot become debt-free if you spend more than you earn. It's that simple! Financial stress relief is called "money in the bank" or "positive cash flow." You need to know where your money goes; this can be done by listing your regular and non-regular expenses. Think twice about any item you plan to buy; ask yourself whether it is a need or an optional item.

Write down your goals on paper!

Write down your goals on paper!

Every person should write down their goals. Business goals, personal goals, income goals, and whatever you want to achieve in your life. If you want to achieve something in your life, don’t just think about it. Get a nice piece of paper and write down the goal.

Having a goal sitting in your head may not help that much. Every book says that you need to write down your goals. First, thinking about the plan is an excellent way to start, but again, you need to write it down as soon as you think about it.

What is it that you want to accomplish?

Think about this and develop the same goal you want to get. For example, let’s look at a person who wants to earn $1000 in the next 30 days online. Here is what they need to do.

The Reasons I Love Christmas

The Reasons I Love Christmas

Most everyone I know loves Christmas. There is something about the magic and wonder of the season that is unmatched during the rest of the year. There are so many reasons that I love Christmas I can hardly know where to begin.

 

I guess the biggest reason I love Christmas is that, for me, it has always meant the gathering of family and friends. It is only during the Christmas season that we gather from afar and enjoy days filled with laughter, good conversation, good meals, and tons of games. My four siblings and I have naturally spread out into our adulthood, and usually, it is only at Christmas that we get to reunite with each other and our parents. You could take everything else about Christmas away from me, and I would still love it just for this reason.
