2020 has certainly been a very challenging and disruptive year causing anxiety and uncertainty but there has also been incredible opportunities and growth.  We have all been affected in different ways and to varying degrees but the truth of the matter is there really never is certainty about the future.

The best we can do is get crystal clear on our goals for the new year because clarity is the antidote to anxiety.

As we start the new year, there is a lot of optimism that this coming year will be better.  There will certainly be ups and downs and that can be offset by a rigorous planning process.

There is no doubt that our lives and businesses will continue to change and that doesn’t have to be looked at negatively.  Management guru, Peter Drucker, said the best way to predict the future is to create it. 

Now is your time to shine!

This is the time of year people are making resolutions and setting goals for 2021 and some research says that people are taking their resolutions much more seriously than in the years past.

This is no surprise for us in the business of planning, strategy, productivity, and leadership because we know the critical importance and power of goal setting.

 Just setting goals or resolutions is not enough.  Studies continue to show that less than 10% of people who make resolutions actually succeed.  So what are the most important secrets to achieving your 2021 goals?

I always talk about 3 words being the key to success in any endeavor in life. The 3 words are clarity, focus and results.  We will dive into greater detail about these next week. Until then, don’t forget to register for the upcoming Fast Track Challenge beginning January 11^th.
