Goal Check

How are you doing with your 2017 goals thus far?  I am working through mine.  Most of my goals are in progress.  Weight loss goal...let's just say, "not so much".

In its "18 Facts About Goals and Their Achievement", GoalBand reports that 92% of people fail their New Years Goals by January 15. I am not ready to say "fail" on my 2017 goals, and neither should you!

Multiple studies show WRITTEN goals succeed 33-50%* better than goals that are stored safely in your brain.  Why?

• The act of writing and seeing the written word makes your goal more tangible and real.
• Adding quantifiable objectives makes the goal measurable (10 books, 25 pounds, etc.).
• Updating your progress increases your engagement and commitment to your goals AND
• creates positive reinforcement.

Several years ago, I attended Dave Romeo's Designing Your Destiny seminar.   In addition to all of the great information, Dave shared his Goal Setting Worksheet.  For the last many years, I have used my own version of that worksheet for my goals.

This year, I have 32 written goals.  All of them are quantifiable.  Most have a due date of 12/31/2017, but will likely be completed before that date.

If you haven't already, WRITE your goals for 2017.  There is no rule that says you have to begin on January 1, or the first of any month for that matter.  To help you, access my 2017 written goals here.  I have hidden some of the more personal information, but this may help you get started.  

If you need additional help, I recommend Dave Romeo's Designing Your Destiny workshop, Designing Your Destiny Gold workshop, or his Goal Setting Mastery CD series.

Wishing you much success on all of your WRITTEN goals for 2017!
