Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? Of course you did, everyone does.

Have you fulfilled your resolution or goal? If not, your goal might have been too vague.

Let’s break down an example: lose weight.  Sounds simple right? If this was your goal, 9 times out of 10 you would fail. The reason– you have no way to measure success. Now, if your goal was lose 10 pounds, you would actually have something to work towards, thus improving the chances of success.

1. Keep your goals simple. If complex, break into multiple goals, focusing on one at a time.
2. Ensure direction by adding a number, or commitment date.
3. Partner up with someone else with a similar goal

Now the easy part, what’s your new goal?
