A great way to stick those New Year’s “resolutions” or those seemingly insurmountable goals for 2014, is to begin the year with the end point in mind.
You’re creating for yourself a map and working backwards, establishing little checkpoints for yourself along the way.
Maybe in July you swerve off of the path a little bit, but because of the map you created for yourself in the beginning of the year, you know the entry way to get back on that trail.
The best way to eat a 300 lb. elephant (tofu elephant for my vegan friends ;) ) is one bite at a time.
This creation of a map works with short-term projects, partnerships, and how you want to spend the working parts of your week.
One point of note: don’t keep your nose buried in your map because there are wonderful treasures and sights, and magnificent people to meet along the way. You can’t miss them or your journey will not be as grand.
Second point of note: In this game, there are no expert cartographers.
So, what Dec. 31, 2014 look like for you? What kind of map will you create? What are the first steps in helping it unfold?
