Yesterday on the news there
was an article about Saturday the 12th being “Quit Day!”. I couldn’t believe it, being a news article.
The discussion revolved around
the idea that the 12th is unofficial day that many people “Quit”
working on and abandon their New Year goals and resolutions. — WOW!
I write about the importance
of goal setting and maintenance for the entire year.
Don’t give up:
Here are 5 tips to keep your
goals moving for 2019:
Make sure you have goals written down and easy to find.
Look at your goals daily, create the habit – Look at them
daily.
Make time to work on your goals daily, even if you spend a
few minutes. Just spending time to review them keeps you aware.
If a goal seems too hard, revise it. Look at smaller parts of each goal to work on,
keep forward progress.
Never give up — Find a way to stay accountable and you
will see and feel results.
I read that some people already have stopped working on their Goals for year 2019. Hopefully you have made it easy to see your goals and review them for progress.

Year end
2018? Yes! – However, New Year beginning 2019!
Yeah! Another new year!
I have made and spent time making
my goals for 2019. I am planning some
really neat GOALS!
Remember, goals will require
some, maybe a lot of mundane work and daily must do projects – most are easy to
do and as Jim Rohn says “Most are easy not to do”.
I keep
pulling this book out for review and reminders of continuously moving forward,
I like this
quote from the book — “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep
this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire
makes a small amount of heat.” From the bestseller book Think and Grow
Rich by Napolean Hill.
This book
gets you on a journey for getting and staying on track for life's desires.
Start planning for 2019! Make 2019 your best year yet!
I read areally good book KEEP MOVINGwritten by Dick Van Dyke. He wrote this book at age 89 and is still moving very well, from what I see and hear.
The book provides
tips and truths about aging. In the book he reveals a lot of truth about aging
and the need to keep moving in physical and mental activity as we go through
life.
I keep the
book on my desk for review from time to time. I like the writeup on the book cover
jacket – “Dick's optimistic outlook is an invigorating tonic for anyone
who needs a reminder that life should be lived with enthusiasm, despite what
the Calendar says.”
I believe an obvious conclusion is to get motivated and keep physical activity as a very important part of our life. He does. He exercises daily and reports that he dances often.
One item
stuck with me when he discussed the importance of writing daily. Keep a
notebook and lay out the next day's activities. Then once written down he can
forget it, disengage and begin to dream. What a great philosophy!
Seems like the same for all of us at any age especially those of us in sales and selling. Get the next day, week, month and year written down with activity for success. Then go about dreaming and figuring out how to make this life we have even better.
Get yourself
ready for 2019. Plan it. Make yourself accountable for the entire year.
Read KEEP MOVING ! I've linked ithere to easily find.
As you plan your year end and begin planning for next year, don't forget to plan for continuous learning.
What is continuous learning here are 7 tips (Not totally
inclusive by any means, but a good thought starter):
Reading — Read for business growth and pleasure.

going even if a small start.

for your family.
Your current Job — Learn one thing every month for making
it better, faster or easier.

possible to do daily.
