Goal setting for the second half

Can you believe it, the first six months of the year have flown by. Here we sit wondering where the first half of the year went. Back in January many of us set New Year’s Resolutions. What happened to your resolutions? I am doing great on two goals, OK and one and not so well on a fourth one. The key for me is to write the goals down on paper. Experts say that 93 % of people cannot clearly identify their goals and that only 3 % of Americans write down their goal.


I am a list kind of person so I do write down my goals and then take time monthly and revisit the goals to see if I am getting closer to meeting my goals. I use the July 4th weekend to reset my goals. Some things have changed and I need to reset and refocus. I also share my goals with my wife and with friends and co-workers to help me be more accountable. What about you, what are your goals for the second half of the year? What have you crossed off your to-do list and what it the one think that you just need jump started on? Written goals are the first steps to a healthy and successful life. The next step is making a plan to reach your goals. Check out our free goals worksheet at http://www.lighthouse-coaching.com/forms/.
