5% down, 95% to go.
Today is January 22nd.
That means 21 days (3 weeks) have already passed in 2008. That's a little over 5% of the year gone already.
So let's do a quick "goal review" or a Resolution recall.
Are you 5% towards your goals?
If your goal was to lose 50lbs of fat - you should be down 2.5lbs right now if you're on track. If your goal was to increase your income by $10,000 this year - you should already have made an extra $500.
Now I know goals are not always achieved linearly - particularly not fat loss or financial goals -- but you'll hopefully see my point.
An easy goal that I always set is just a specific number of workouts that you are going to do. Then you just mark them off. Last year my goal was 250 workouts. I performed 270 workouts by the end of the year. My goal for 2008 in this category was to increase that by 10% - 297 workouts.
To be on track I need to have completed about 14 workouts by now. This morning I completed workout 21 of this year.
I am also planning to launch six new products this year. I've already launched the first one (the Metabolic Acceleration DVD). For one of my business projects - as of yesterday I'm at 5.5% of my annual goal. For another I'm at about a 4% increase over the same point last year (which is slightly behind schedule).
The point is - you need to constantly assess where you are in relation to your desired outcomes.
Are you on track?
Are you headed in the right direction?
Have you even moved off the starting line?
Yes? Congratulations - 2008 is shaping up to be a great year for you.
No? Don't worry - just step up your ACTION a little bit and catch up.
5% down - 95% to go. You've still got time to make some major changes in your life this year.
