You Don’t Need To Know All The Steps – Just The Next One
Today is December 1st. Which means 2024 is right around the corner. No sooner do we finish celebrating the accomplishments from this year – we reset the counters to zero and look to create something new.
We list our goals, envision our future and formulate action plans. All necessary parts of the process.
But what if you are setting new or different goals? What if your 2024 goals look different than 2023? Or even if you want to recreate the same thing – what if it shows up differently?
The one thing we know about the next 12 months is that it won’t go quite like we planned it.
And that’s okay. It’s just part of the process.
The only part that maters and makes a difference is this moment right here right now. So if you aren’t sure exactly how to get to your next goal and all of the action steps, ask yourself:
What is the core thing I need to do right now?
- If your goal is to sell houses, you need clients. The one thing you can do right now is to pick up the phone and call someone. Anyone. It’s a contact sport. The more people you connect with the closer you will get to the goal.
- If your goal is to be healthier, drink a glass of water
So don’t worry if you don’t know exactly the fool proof 12 month plan to create your goals.
You don’t need to know all of the steps just the next one.
To your success!
