When do you think about your goals for a new year? On New Year’s Day? After the football games are over? Have you ever considered planning ahead of time so that you can ’hit the ground running?’

Dan Miller asks these questions and then provides some additional answers here:

* If nothing changed in your life in 2003, would that be okay?

• If you do want different results one year from now, what are you willing to change?
• Everyone has ”dreams.” But unless you can turn it into a goal by making it specific and putting a time line on it, it’s likely to just remain a warm, fuzzy dream.
• Goals are benchmarks – they define meaningful action and direction.
• Having written goals will put you in a 3% category of the people on the face of the earth.
• Have your goals set by November 15th so you can anticipate the beginning of the New Year with confidence and purpose.
