Turning Resolutions into Realities

"As we begin 2013, you may be wondering what the best course of action is to reach your goals this year. To turn New Year’s resolutions into a new year of realities, you must have a plan. That plan needs to consist of laying out a series of steps (large and small) that will guide you down the path toward success over the next 12 months." http://practicemanagementblog.fpanet.org/2013/01/04/turning-resolutions-into-realities/ Although written for financial advisors, the steps are the same for consumers.
Create Clarity Around Your Goals
Compartmentalize Your Goals
Attach Emotion to the Activities
Find an Accountability Partner
It takes time to change old (bad) habits. Enlist the help of a partner who shares your goals and will support you in maintaining your new habits. These recommendations are similar to SMART goals.
