The New Year's Myth...how to have a fulfilling year...every year.

1. THE NEW YEAR'S MYTH

2. The Year 2014 is racing to an
end. For some, it is a fulfilling
year while some are asking…
“When did we start the year
that we are now a few days
to 2015?”
2014

3. People sometimes
rush through the
‘EMBER Months with
some negative
emotions; they see a
year that hasn’t
delivered all they
had imagined to
achieve…so they just
want the new year
to come – Quickly!

4. SO, THEY WAIT FOR DECEMBER 30TH OR 31ST TO
MAKE ANOTHER SETS OF RESOLUTION HOPING
THIS TIME THEY WILL PUT IN MORE ENERGY &
SERIOUSNESS TO ACHIEVE THEIR RESOLVE.

5. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACHIEVE
IN THE NEXT 12 CALENDAR MONTHS?
12
1 2 3 x

6. HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED THE
RESOURCES THAT WOULD HELP YOU
ACHIEVE THESE GOALS?
PEOPLE KNOWLEDGE FINANCES

7. HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED THE
DEPENDENCIES IN YOUR
GOALS?
IF GOAL 5 IS DEPENDENT ON GOAL 2, THE SUCCESS
OF GOAL 2 MAKES GOAL 5 ACHIEVABLE?
GOAL 2 GOAL 5

8. WHATEVER YOUR GOALS ARE,
TAKE THE 12-HOURS / 12
CALENDAR APPROACH

10. It is not unusual to
come up with a list
of things you want
to achieve in the
year usually few
days to the end of
the previous year –
this is called
NEW YEAR
RESOLUTION.

HOW DO YOU APPRAISE THE
ACHIEVEMENT OF THESE
RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE NO
MEASURE IN TERMS OF TIMELINE
& SPECIFICITY?

13. HAVING A FULFILLED YEAR STARTS
WITH A PLAN, BUT IT DOESN’T END
THERE. THE PLAN MUST BE BROKEN
DOWN INTO ACHIEVABLE BITS
WITH SET TIMELINES AND
MEASURABLE OUTCOMES.
THIS IS MY RECOMMENDATION –

IF YOU CAN
DEFINE YOUR
RESOLUTIONS
WITHIN ANY OF
THESE BOXES,
THE
PROBABILITY OF
HAVING A
FULFILLED YEAR
IS VERY HIGH!

17. ONE REASON RESOLUTION FAIL IS
THE LACK OF PROPER THINKING
AND PLANNING ABOUT THE
RESOLUTION!

18. A RESOLUTION WITHOUT A WORKABLE
PLAN ENDS IN DISAPPOINTMENT
PREVENTSPLANNINGPROPER

INSTEAD OF WAITING
FOR DEC 30TH/31ST
TO START PLANNING
YOU CAN START
WORKING ON YOUR
2015 GOAL NOW

19. DO NOT VERSIONIZE YOUR RESOLUTION BY
JUST MODIFYING YOUR 2014 RESOLUTIONS,
TAKE YOUR TIME TO THINK ABOUT THEM…ARE
THESE THE GOALS I WANT TO ACHIEVE COME
WEEK 1, WEEK 12, OR QUARTER 3 OF 2015
CONSIDERING MY PRESENT REALITIES?

23. WORDS LIKE IMPROVE, REGULARLY,
INCREASE, MORE, ETC DO NOT
COMMUNICATE MUCH WITHOUT
PUTTING A NUMERIC VALUE TO WHAT
THEY DESCRIBE IN TERMS OF TIME,
QUANTITY, QUALITY…
WHAT DOES IMPROVE MEAN SPECIFICALLY?

24. LET YOUR RESOLUTION BE GUIDED BY THESE THREE WORDS:
WHAT?
WHEN?
HOW?
HAVE A VERY FULFILLING YEAR AHEAD!
