It is that time of year again!  Time to start planning for the upcoming year.   For many, this is an incredibly exciting time and for others, it is putting together a plan that in the soul, they believe will fail before the ink dries. 

Many times, we have been encouraged, pushed, forced into creating a goal that is not achievable for the simple reason of time.  Or, we have set a goal that is greater than our last year goal even though  we fell short of it.   

Multiple reasons why we fail.  I personally believe we "detach" for the impact of the goal and only view it as a business number/statistic we must hit when, the reality is we are creating our life.   That goal has an impact on you, your family, your team and your legacy.   When we can connect the impact to the goal, it has substantially more meaning to it. 

We also overestimate what we can do in 1 year and underestimate what we can do in 3.    What if, we set a 3-year goal, broke it down to an annual goal and then a 90-day plan?   Reducing our runway from 365 days to 90.  This takes away the "thought" that we have plenty of time.   Reducing the length of the time of achieving the goal makes it much more realistic and manageable.    

In addition, during those 90days plan on some wins and some losses.   Plan on learning quickly from the losses so we can stay on track.   Again, removing the "I have plenty of time to get back on track and just need to keep doing what I'm doing" helps the likelihood that you will achieve your goal. 

Take a listen to some sage advice on creating, following, and achieving your plan.    This should be an exciting time of creation for you, your business and life.
