Personal, Business and Aspirational Goals for a Happy New Year!

Here we are – on the threshold of 2015. This is the time of year when many people look forward after making lists of things that happened in the previous year.  Since we can’t go backward in time – despite the plot twists of many movies, we can only look ahead. Many people aim for generic resolutions: lose weight, quit smoking, find new places to bury the bodies.

While well intentioned, most New Year’s resolutions are not so sticky – probably because they are vague and do not involve any sort of behavior change. “Not eating birthday cake at the office” would be a better resolution than “eat healthier.”

That said, here are my 2015 goals – call them resolutions if you will. I’ve broken them down into Personal goals, business goals, and aspirational goals – which will require more effort:

Personal

• Average 12,000 steps per day
• Give in to the guilt and donate to the public radio stations I listen to

Business

• Produce and send 4 postcards over the course of the year
• Add 2 new contacts/week to my potential client list
• Redesign this website

Aspirational

• Get my novel and/or children’s stories out to the public in some fashion
• Start a podcast
• Get an electric guitar
• Get to one MLB game not at Fenway Park this season

If you’re reading this, I hope it's not to kill time. Now go out and have a great 2015!
