How often have you begun a year just rolling full steam ahead off of last year’s momentum only to find yourself in March or June having to change direction? If that’s happened to you it’s probably because you’ve not stopped to think about the up-coming year.
This is why at the beginning of the year I asked myself and each of my clients to finish this statement. “2008 will be a successful year if…?” If what happens? If you accomplish what?
This simple but profound exercise can help you to see the coming year in its proper perspective. It forces you to project out and look at what projects and tasks you’ll need to focus on and is a great way to stop things from falling thru the cracks.
It also is a shot of adrenalin as your sense of urgency goes up along with your anticipation to get things done. Try it and pass it along to your employees and associates…it works.
Ride On
