Make Great Goals in 2008 by Mike Smith

Have you been worried about the new year coming and how many goals you need to create in order to be SUPER PRODUCTIVE in 2008? Yeah, so have I. I’ve even taken it a little further with a huge goal list to complete BEFORE the new year.

I’ve come to realize though through talking to a very dear friend of mine that taking everything one step at a time should be the main focus for 2008. You have to admit that 2007 was a hectic and very busy year so in 2008, we should all be focusing on keeping up the pace, but not taking too many tasks on at one time.I know that my task lists get out of hand quickly, so I want to be a little slower in trying to accomplish 200 things a day and maybe stop and smell the roses every once in a while.

Another way to make goals for yourself in 2008 is to sit back and examine all of the things you’ve done RIGHT this year! It will not only help you gain confidence in yourself and your work but it will also point out the things you’ve done well and will generate a bigger focus on repeating these things over again in 2008. I like to create a list of all the big accomplishments I’ve had in the past year and stare at it for a while.

Regardless of how you do it, try to focus on the great accomplishments you’ve had over the past 12 months in business, in your personal life, in your family life and so on, and try to figure out ways to replicate that in 2008, but build on it and make it better.

Another way to generate some great goals in 2008 is to build on your past success. You can figure out something you’ve done this year, or even recently, and think of ways to build on it and grow it..

Another great way to find a great goal for 2008 is to step back and look at your health. I know that everyone at one point or another has made the “weight loss” goal for the new year but try to really find ways to build on these things and stick to it. Leo from Zen Habits.com has some awesome articles on health hacks and becoming healthier.

I hope this has given you something to set your mind in motion!
