One of my favorite things about this time of the year is finding some “me” time to put together my new year’s goals and visions. Last year was the first time that I created a vision board and it definitely influenced the events of the year. I highly recommend setting aside an entire day (after the hustle and bustle of Christmas) to be entirely alone so that you can create your goals and action plan for the new year.
Here are the 7 resources I use to plan out my New Year’s goals:
-
How to Create a Vision Board: This is a post I did last year with step-by-step instructions on how to create a vision board. Last year, one of my friends and I got together and made our vision boards together at Starbucks. It was a blast!
-
The 10 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Setting Their Goals: This is a great post by Michael Hyatt to cross-reference when making your goals.
-
Jullien Gordon’s New Year’s Guide: Every year, Jullien puts together a solid new year’s guide to help you strategize your new year. This is the exact guide I used last year and plan to use again this year. Definitely check this out. Oh, and did I mention it is free?
-
Jack Canfield’s Free Online Planning Guide: One of my favorite books I read in 2013 was The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. After I read the book, I searched online for what else he had available on his website and found this free guide!
-
