| At the start of every year sensible people do some form of goal setting exercise. You can’t hit a target you can’t see, so set the target. An easy and fun way to do this is something I do every year. Give it a go yourself.
Get a piece of lined paper and write ‘Glory list 2007’ at the top. Then write a column of numbers 1 to 30 down the left hand side. For each number write something that you achieved in 2007 that was glorious. Include personal and business, large and small things. You must do all 30. Then get another identical piece of paper. This time write ‘Glory list 2008’ at the top and the numbers down the side. Referring to what you wrote on the other sheet, write a new version of it for 2008 that’s bigger and better. So if one of your glories from 2007 was “I had a weeks holiday in France”, put for 2008: “I had two weeks holiday in France and a week in America” or whatever would upstage 2007 for you. Write each and every line as if it has already happened. On a third piece of paper write “Glory List 2008 extra” and write anything else that you missed out on here. This is what you will have achieved come this time next year. Just by doing that you’ve made it so much more likely to come true.
