Each year, I take some time to develop goals for the upcoming year.  I follow a 4 step process and ensure the goals are SMART.  Here are a couple of examples of last year’s goals:

• Acquire 1/5th of my new clients from outside of BC, e.g., Alberta, Ontario, International, etc.
• Speak at 6 new locations or events

While I have these types of goals for 2012 as well, I have also developed a goal that is a bit different for me because it is all about internal improvement rather than external achievement.  For 2012 and beyond, my self improvement goal is to

Be thankful for my gifts, blessings, and joys every day.

It sounds easy, but having tried and failed a few times, I am working out a strategy for how to make it happen this time.

What works for you to ensure you meet your goals? What types of goals do you have: External achievements or Internal improvements? Vote here and see what other people are doing.
