New Year’s resolution is making a promise to oneself and be able to keep that promise. In other words, it’s time for us to consider the changes that we want or need to and commit ourselves to make that change in the coming year.
There are several different resolutions/ promise that people make. For instance, some people may want to lose weight or some may need to quit smoking & drinking. There are people who would like to spend more time with their friends & family and others may want to get out of debt. No matter what your resolution is, the most important part is how you can keep up with your resolution.
Making plans are always the best solution to be able to achieve any goal. Write down your resolution on a big piece of paper, than make bullets with steps on what you need in order to keep up with this resolution. For example: if you are smoking two packs everyday and you have a resolution to quit smoking, than make a plan on how you can quit smoking 100%. It’s not easy to quit if you are a regular smoker, but you can make it easy by creating small goals. Write down in your bullets, to smoking from two packs every day, come down to one pack by the end of first month, then next bullet will be to come down to one cigarette per day within three months and gradually you can quit smoking by the end of the new year and make sure you follow this bullets.
Now the question is how do you get encouraged to follow your own plan? The reason I asked to write down your plan on a big piece of paper is because you can put that paper in a place where it will always be visible to you because that will remind you every day on what you have not accomplished yet for the year.
Along with your resolution, you should make one more promise to you. This will be the very last goal to accomplish in the year and that is to be able to say to yourself “Yes, I was able to keep up with my resolution and I am satisfied with my result.” This satisfaction will bring a true smile on your face.
All the best with your new year’s resolution!
Have a Happy and Successful New Year!

How to set a goal that provides actual guidance and direction to our lives?
Goals are very important in our lives; they serve as a direction and guidance for us. As soon as we were born, we did start walking on the path of life. As a new born, or even as a baby, we just kept on walking as we did not have any aim or goal. As we grew up and experienced our surroundings and environment, we start getting ambitious and started making plans for our future. In other words, we started making goals and now we are walking on the path of life towards our goal. The question is what type of goal do we have? Does our goal actually provide a true guidance to our lives?
Setting SMART goals provides proper direction which leads successfully towards the accomplishment of our goal. Setting goals are easy, anyone can set a goal, but the biggest challenge is to set SMART goals.
SMART:
Specific: Goals should be as specific as possible. For instance, goal to earn a lot of money in future; sure it’s a goal. On the other side, a Specific goal will be to earn $1 million in next 3 years; now this is a more specific goal as it tells you to earn “$1 million” instead of just “money” and gives you specific time frame of “3 years” instead of sometimes in “future”.
Measurable: There should be a way to measure the progress towards goal. Having ability to measure goal makes you feel good, will continuously encourage you to accomplish your goal to the fullest and will keep you away from cheating. Now the question is how do we measure our progress? You can either make a simple log of what you have earned. To measure my progress precisely, I personally use excel spread where I record my investment/ expense vs. my earnings/ revenue. This helps me measure my exact progress continuously from my investment to breakeven to my earnings.
Attainable: Goals should be within your reach and this is possible only if they are set by YOU and NOT by SOMEONE ELSE. Goals should be set in a way that would motivate you and encourage you to meet your goal no matter what. Everyone wants to earn a lot of money to gain financial freedom, but the goal of earning $1 million in next 3 years to buy your dream house and car, or you may want to be able to earn $1 million so that you can “fire your boss” in next three years. In other words, your specific goal should be tied to your dream, because dreams are the most motivational tool towards accomplishing your goal.
Realistic: Goals should be set in a way that they are possible to accomplish. Do not set a goal that is impossible. Setting an impossible goal just leads you towards failure. For instance, a goal of earning $1 million in next 5 days is almost impossible (almost is because if you win a lottery, it is possible), yet earning $1 million through your business or hard work will require 2 to 3 years depending on your dedication and this is a reality.
Time-Based: Set a specific time on until when the goal should be accomplished. Create short term goals in order to accomplish your long term goal. In other words, the goal of earning $1 million in next 3 years can be fulfilled if you are making $334K per year, so your short term goal will be to earn $334K per year. This will make it easier to measure your progress towards your long term goal of $1 million in next 3 years. In addition, it keeps you motivated on a continuous basis to work harder and harder towards your goal.
In order to accomplish your SMART goals successfully, create a step by step plan and make a commitment to follow that plan strictly. As you take each step on the path of your life, you are getting closer towards your goal. Do not look back, keep on walking on the path of excellence and success will definitely follow you.

Take control over your life!
Every person has a goal. Some people want to earn millions and millions of dollars, some people wants to have a beautiful house on an island and live there for the rest of their lives. Some people wants to own the most expensive car in the world where as some people wants to travel and explore the different places in the world. No dream or goal is impossible; remember “nothing is impossible.” What is important is that how valuable is your goal to you in your thoughts? The more you believe in your dream; the more dedicated you will be to bring them into the reality.
When we are kids, we are taught about what is right and what is wrong by our parents, teachers and other elders. As we grow up, our thoughts are built by what we learn from our loved ones and what we experience in school and in our social groups, this is when we decide what major we want to study in college. Once we put our step into our desired college, we want to dedicate ourselves into studies so that we can gain the highest GPA. Our decision of our subject of study and our dedication towards it comes from our thoughts that are built up during our growth stage and through our experiences.
Our experiences play a huge role in how we think and how we are able to shape our circumstances by our thoughts. There are two types of thoughts built up with every experiences, either negative or positive thinking. Negative thoughts are when a man gives up on his situation and does not want to fight anymore. This kind of thinking can only lead him to a failure because he does not want to change his situation, does not want to change his thoughts and take it towards a new direction. In other words, he is not ready to make a move and come out of his comfort zone. A positive thinker would never quit, he would fight till he has found his success and achieves his goal. This kind of thinker is always looking for a better change, take any situation as a challenge and face them courageously. Their bravery can only lead them towards a successful and prosperous life as they have guts to bring change into their lives. “Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.” One example that I can think of is the economic downturn. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics there are over 18.3 million home-based businesses in USA and from the survey done by Home Office Computing Magazine, 98% people are happier working from home, 96% of people would like to recommend work from home to others and 88% would never ever return back to the corporate world. These are the people who had courage to come out of their comfort zone and bring the change in their lives by taking the risk of investing in the home based business and dedicating themselves towards accomplishing their goal. They were able to gain success in their new life is because they believed in themselves with positive thinking. Today as per U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate is 10.0%. These are the people who do not want to start their own business and still wants to depend on the corporate world with the hopes that the economic condition will change someday. They are afraid to make change in their lives, have a fear of losing. In other words, they have already built up negative thoughts about the new world. These people will always struggle in the corporate world and retire with their hand full of 401K funds. On the other hand, a recent IDC survey has resulted in the average income for income-generating home based business households is $65,000 per year and according to the report from the SBA’s office of advocacy, over 20,000 home based entrepreneurs have grossed over $1 million. These entrepreneurs will retire by turning their dream lifestyle into reality.
We are what we want to be. In other words, it is true that we do not have control over the situation created by our destiny, but we certainly do have power to change that situation and give it a new shape.
