Happy New Year!!!

Happy 2008!!!

January 1st means a fresh start, new hopes, and plenty of resolutions. Most goals and new year ambitions focus on aspects of self-improvement, from losing weight to eliminating debt. The prospect of a brand new year to get it all done conjures feelings of motivation and excitement at the possibilities ahead.

If this year your goal is a new career...a promotion or new job...a better salary or higher quality of life, then here are some questions to help you set more focused goals in 2008. (Note: It is my goal to update my blog more regularly this year so I can better support you!)

• What do you want from your career? More money? Greater satisfaction? A new challenge? (Be as descriptive as possible)
• What is most important to you? What are your values? What motivates you? Gets you out of bed each day?
• What do you have to contribute that is unique? What are you good at? What do you naturally do well?
• What is stopping you from reaching your career goals? What blocks or obstacles have been preventing you from reaching your dreams?
• What 2 steps could you take right now to change your situation?

It's important to remember that we usually know what we have to do....it just takes getting out of our comfort zone, staying motivated and on track in order to produce the results we are looking for.
