As the New Year begins, we should all be thinking about setting our annual goals. We dream of achieving milestones for higher sales targets, greater profitability, improved fitness and even checking off items on our personal “bucket list”. I have FOUR helpful steps you can deploy to set and achieve the goals you seek to accomplish throughout your year.   1 – SLICE YOUR YEAR INTO THIRDS Start out by dividing your year into thirds and writing down the goals you want to achieve within each 4-month period. This will make achieving your goals more manageable.   2 – PRIORITIZE YOUR GOALS Odds are you have multiple goals — with ones that take priority over others. Start right out of the gate with the most important goal you want to achieve and focus on tackling that task in the first third of the year. Most importantly, write down what the specific goal is AND the date you want to complete that goal by. For example: Hit $450,000 of annual $1MM target by April 30th Take family to Africa in August Run NYC Mara
