As the New Year begins, we should all be thinking about setting our annual goals.

I have FOUR helpful steps you can deploy to set and achieve the goals you seek to accomplish throughout your year.   1 – SLICE YOUR YEAR INTO THIRDS Start out by dividing your year into thirds and writing down the goals you want to achieve within each 4-month period. This will make achieving your goals more manageable.   2 – PRIORITIZE YOUR GOALS Odds are you have multiple goals — with ones that take priority over others.
