4 Easy Ways

The New Year is just a few days away, so it’s time to make the most of it. At this time of the year, you must have done a proper review of the year. But if you are yet to do that, it is not too late.

Reviewing the year is not just to remind you of your achievements and shortcomings but to help you kick off your New Year’s career on the right foot and here is how to get started.

List your achievements

Think of the best three to five things you accomplished this year and write them down. You must have achieved those goals because you did something spectacular or improved your skills or began a new behavioral pattern. Whatever you did to achieve those goals should be listed as your strength.

List your shortcomings

After doing this, you should also state three to five goals you could not achieve and why. When you become familiar with why you were unable to achieve those goals, you can make those reasons your weaknesses. Write out that weakness and draw up a plan to manage your weaknesses.

Create a Plan

Now that you are familiar with your strengths and weaknesses, it is time to write out your New Year goals and seek ways to maximize your strength to achieve more. If you need to acquire more skills to do more in the coming year, you should begin the training process now.

This is also the right time to create a plan on managing your weaknesses such that they can be used to achieve your goals.

Brace yourself for the next level.

Success is opportunity meets preparation – Zain Asher

The world is evolving really fast and you cannot afford to be left behind. The end of the year is a great time to look ahead and figure out what you need to start doing to prepare you for the changes that may occur in your professional, financial, social and personal life.

Finally, failing to prepare is equivalent to preparing to fail. Therefore, achieving your goals in 2019 is highly dependent on your preparations and commitment towards achieving them.
