HOW TO SET NEW YEAR'S

RESOLUTIONS THE RIGHT WAY

Written by Jack Bloomfield

New year’s resolutions and goals for 2019 should not be something you set lightly. If
you have the slightest ambition to succeed this coming year, these need to be set
right. We all have that one friend or relative (or many) who “attempts” to set goals for
themselves and fails miserably.
Setting a goal or a new year's revolution is great but if you go about it the wrong way, it
can put an enormous limit on your business, your life, and your success.
So, here are some ways to ensure that you stick to the goals you make in 2019:
1. Plan the process not the goal
Many people will go into the new year with the goal of losing weight or earning more
money but how do you ever expect that to happen? Losing weight doesn't just happen
overnight, it takes hard work and months of training. The only way for you to ever
achieve this is if you spend time actually planning the process of attaining what you
actually want. How many days, or even months, will it take? How many sessions are
required to achieve them? What foods are you going to give up? It is great to set the
goal which is what you need to do but you need to become very clear on the process
to get there.
2. Become very specific
For a goal or resolution to become a reality you need to get specific. If you want to lose
weight, figure out how many pounds you will have to shed to achieve the ideal figure.
If you want to eat healthier, write down precisely what you are going to cut out of your
diet. Bill Gates didn’t build Microsoft without become very clear with what he wanted
the company to achieve. Trust me, when you move up the ladder of success, precision
is rewarded in many ways.
3. Become committed

suggest the best way for you to be held accountable is to announce your goal to the

world. Get your ambition in front of the people who you would hate to disappoint the
most. It may be your parents, your friends, or your mentor. Announce your goal and if
for some reason you give up or throw the towel in, good luck explaining why to them.
Making others keep you accountable ensures that giving up doesn't become an option
