Are you like most people this time of year?
Do you look back at your year(s) and decide that this January you will change all your ‘wrongs’ and strive to be a better person?
Don’t get suckered into the herding instinct. I say it is time for a Resolution Revolution! Unless you methodologically plan out what, when and how you will enact changes under your own terms you will not succeed.
Your resolutions should be strategic, planned and comprehensive. If you only think about your career, your leadership effectiveness, your legacy during the break before the New Year, you are not doing it right. Resolutions require a complete strategic analysis and review throughout the year. December should be your month of reconnecting with family and business associates. If you have planned and initiated your changes earlier in the year and have a firm plan for the coming year, you will be relaxed and you will enhance your level of reconnection with those that are important to your personal and professional lives.
Putting It Into Action:
Resolve to make resolutions an on-going and strategic part of your life. Book some reflection time every quarter to ask yourself questions like:
-Where am I going?
-Where do I want to go?
-What do I have to do to get ‘there’?
-How will I know when I get ‘there’?
With you along the path towards success,
Joseph
