Research shows that the one thing that successful people always do is set goals. Below is a simple 5 steps process to help you start your year off with a focus on the outcomes you want.

It’s that simple.

5 Steps Setting Your Goals into Action

Step 1 What: Establish what you want to achieve. It can be personally, career wise or financial. What would make you the MVP in your organization? Visualise the goals you would like to achieve in the next year.

Step 2 Why: Tap into why these goals are important to you. This will be your source of motivation. E.g.: Recognition, pride, praise or reward.

Step 3 How: Determine the two or three actions that will help you achieve your goals.

Step 4 When: Set completion dates.

Step 5 Commit! Commit! Commit!: Commit your goals to paper. Commit your goals to someone who will keep you accountable to achieving them. Commitment is key.
