It’s a New Year and you are excited to begin your journey anew. Before you start your voyage I have found it is a good idea to reflect on what transpired in 2018. You might think about your successes and determine why they happened. Just as important is to think about what you could have done better and any missed opportunities that held you back. This exercise will document what you did well and ensure you focus on not missing opportunities in the coming year.

Now from this document of 2018 determine what items are still important or could be enhanced in 2019. That is the beginning of your plan.

Next consider any new initiatives that you would like to embark on in 2019. These items could include areas your team could improve on, places your business could grow, or any new products or services you would like to introduce.

My guess is your list is probably a little overwhelming right now. I would prioritize everything on your list from 1 to 10 with 10 being highest priority. Next, I would eliminate anything on the list below a 7.

You now have your goals for 2019. Post them for everyone to see. Now go out there and make 2019 your best year ever!
