Happy New Year

Here we are at the start of a new year. What a great time to look back and celebrate the past year’s successes and see where we could use some improvement. It’s also the best time to set and/or revise goals for 2009.

Goal Setting Tips

• Goals should be attainable but challenging enough to excite you.
• Goals should be as specific as possible.
• Goals should be measurable so you will know when you have reached them.
• Set goals for multiple areas of your life—personal, professional, and spiritual.
• Set a deadline for your goals.
• Put together a workable plan to reach your goals.
• Create both short- and long-term goals.
• Use your strengths when considering goals and developing your plan of action.

Happy goal setting!
