A New Year With New Opportunities

[Tap, Tap, Tap] – is this thing on?

Excuse my overextended vacation from www.StuckInTheFunnel.com. I took some time at the end of last year to visit family, assess year-end accomplishments and start thinking about goals for this year. 2009 year was a tough year and I hope 2010 will be much more fruitful for my colleagues, family and friends.

January is a time where many of us think about who we really want to be professionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. The question always remains: how do I get myself there? Some think the answers lie in self-help books, therapy, meditation or the next fad diet. Others think planning every last detail of the week out works.

To me, it does not matter how you reach the goal, as long as you do. In order to do this, I firmly believe those goals should be measurable.

I “want to lose weight” is not a goal. Losing 15lbs is.

I “want to user Twitter to help grow my business” is not a goal. Having Twitter contribute 15% to your annual sales, is.

Now, that’s not to say a goal has to be quantifiable. Touching the lives of individuals through volunteer work cannot always be measured, but is certainly a good goal to have.

I have set my goals and I hope you have too. Here’s to a happy and prosperous 2010!
