2015 Goals : 6 Best Practices that help you achieve more

It is the time of the year, when we have another opportunity to change the way we are going to live our life in 2015. As the saying goes, "Today is the first day for the rest of your life."
I present my report card for the goals I set out for 2014, and also what i am targeting for 2015. I also present six (6) best practices that help you achieve more of your goals, year after year.


Goal setting is critical and important for us to grow. It is one of our vital signs. We do not believe in any gyan unless we have experienced it ourselves. So, here is my report card of 2014. 
Not that I achieved all I set out for, but it was good to have goals that I set out for myself last year, so that I could stretch, come out of my comfort zone and expand myself. And so I did. 

A summary of what I planned at the beginning of 2014 is shown below:
The report card for 2014 and the goal setting for 2015 is as below:


When you set out your goals for 2015, some of the things that might help you to achieve your goals are as follows:

  1. Make sure you write your goals down or take a print out. Written goals channelize your mind and allows your mind to generate enough ideas to find innovative solutions to achieve those goals.
  2. Paste out the goals on a visible location in your home, car or office. Regular viewing helps your mind continue to stay focused and continue to generate new ideas to achieve them. Once the goals are out on your almirah, your family also gets involved in your goals, and that's a very healthy sign. Your children will learn goal setting, real time practically happening in front of them, rather than theoretically in a management school.
  3. Declare your goals to everyone. Do not be afraid of failing. Wear failure as a badge of honor. Remember that just by creating written goals, you have dared to attempt something that hardly 5% in the world do.
  4. Keep tracking your goals at a regular frequency every month. Life will never go as planned, and you would need to keep intervening and self correcting the path. Goal setting is just the first step. If you fail to track your goals, you are unlikely to achieve them.
  5. Publish the results from your tracking. Dont be afraid if you are under achieving. 95% of the people are not even tracking it.
  6. Prioritize your daily "To Do List" as per the goals you are targeting for the year. Achieving yearly goals is a daily thing. If your daily actions are not aligned to your goals, there are every chances of not meeting your goal.

Get started. Today is the first day for the rest of your life. It is never ever too late. Wish you all a happy goal setting for 2015. Goals should always be aligned to your dreams, which in turn is aligned to the mission of your life. If you need any help in setting up your mission, dreams or goals, you can connect with us.
