Where does the time go?

Wow.  Can you believe we are fast approaching the end of the first half of 2015? Now is the time to start thinking about how you're going to finish out your year.  What have you accomplished so far?  Where are you with respect to the goals you set for yourself at the end of 2014?  Have you made steady progress, or have you forgotten to even look at them in the last few months?  What must you do to stay/get back on track?

1. COMMIT to finishing 2015 STRONG.
2. Schedule some time for yourself in the next two weeks to review your most important results.  Make sure your goals for the remainder of the year are clear.
3. Know WHY you are committed to achieving your goals.  Get clear on what it will cost you if you don't accomplish them, and how it will feel when you do. 
   
4. Identify your resources.  Who can help you?  Who do you need?  Do you need a coach, a trainer, an accountability buddy?  Do you already have resources you aren't using?  How can you use those resources more effectively?
5. Chunk it down.  In order to reach your goals by the end of the year, what needs to happen in 30 days, 90 days, 180 days?
6. Create your action plan.  What daily rituals do you need to incorporate?  What language do you need to use to keep yourself inspired and focused?  What emotions do you need to master? 
   
7. Identify things/habits/people that could potentially prevent you from doing what you need to do.  Create a strategy in advance to deal with those things differently when they come up. 
8. CELEBRATE! Acknowledge what you have achieved so far this year.  If you have not really made progress on the goals you created in December, accept responsibility for that and let it go.  Then acknowledge yourself for stepping up NOW and choosing to make the next six months really count!

Make it a GREAT year!
