As New Years fast approaches I’m sure everyone has given thought to their New Years Resolutions. What do you want to be, do and have in 2010? I believe that New Years Resolutions don’t work unless you set True Goals – goals that have everything you need to be able to achieve them. I wanted to share a quick outline on how to make a True Goal with the hope that your New Years Resolutions this year will result in making 2010 the best year of your life.

Here goes -
A True Goal needs three things:

Vision, Mission, and Strategy

Vision Provides a Picture – answering What?
Mission Provides Purpose – answering Why?
Strategy Provides a Plan – answering How?

A true goal requires that you identify what you want, feel a deep sense of why you want it and then develop a plan as to how you will achieve it.

To develop your strategy – there are four simple questions to ask. They are:

Who has done it?
How did they do it?
What are the obstacles?
What are the solutions?

When you set a goal with vision, mission and strategy – you dramatically increase your odds of achieving it.

Here’s to 2010 being the best year ever!

Today I met with Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz, the authors of Go For No.

Richard Fenton, Andrea Walsh, Ty Bennett

Go For No is a great book that teaches some unique concepts. For anyone in sales – this is a must read. For anyone who has ever feared rejection/failure (all of us) this will change the way you think about it.  I recorded a short 5 minute interview with Richard and Andrea on my Iphone – that teaches a couple of their concepts. The info is invaluable!
