Step 3: Benefit from Accountability
Once you have developed a SMART plan add a healthy dose of accountability. Accountability means to be answerable. In what ways will you be answerable? What benchmarks can you add to the SMART plan that will help you stay the course? Who will truly partner with you, with healthy care and concern, to hold you accountable? Accountability is the ingredient for continued focus when the plan doesn’t work as you thought. And of equal importance, accountability is a catalyst for celebration in reaching the milestones!
Making new year resolutions last past January 1st requires being intentional. By following these three steps you get to design a unique plan and create a deliberate way for it to happen – that best fits you. There is margin and forethought given to potential obstacles that can derail the process and celebration of the accomplishments. By using this process you move past that defeated “why bother, I never keep them” attitude. With this proven process, resolutions can happen all year round – in your life, business, and career – not only December 31st!
Warmly,
