2012 Goal Setting

Another year has passed.  Have you changed in the last 12 months or did you waste the year staying the same?!  Change requires you to step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown.  If you want to change results then change in mindset, actions and behaviors must come first.  This means the result(s) in which you are striving for must have more significance to them than that of the inevitable pain of the change to come.


As you approach 2012, be intentional in your actions, have belief in yourself, your loved ones and most importantly, the strength you have in Christ.  Be willing to forgive yourself and those around you.  Be patient, loving and accepting.  Continue to be determined and driven.  Have resolve and DON'T QUIT!


S.M.A.R.T. Goal Setting.  
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria)
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time stamped
(Remember to speak in present tense and about what you do want rather than what you don't want)

As I set my goals for 2012, I will use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria and break them down in to five specific areas;

1. Spiritual
• Personal Relationship with God
• Growth in giving
2. Personal
• Relationships
• Parenting
• Growth in personal weaknesses
3. Professional
• Operation 61
• P.E.I.
• Real Estate
4. Health
• Nutrition 
• Physical health
• Exercise
5. Financial
• Asset acquisition
• Liability elimination
• Cashflow control
• Education 

One more note.  Get some accountability!  I've decided to add an "accountability partner" to each of my set of goals.
