Each New Year prompts many of us to make plans and resolutions full of promise. Well, January 2013 is well underway . . . so how are your plans progressing?
Do this year’s resolutions focus on better health? Perhaps new career goals? Or maybe a goal related to your finances?
Whatever the focus, what’s the most important step toward achieving your goal?
It’s that first step, isn’t it? Taking that first step and then repeating it again the next day and the following day (or week, as appropriate) again, so that it soon becomes easier and feels more a part of your regular routine.
Reflecting on progress at regular intervals is an important step too. You will want to track your progress by keeping a written summary. Noting progress along the way can be a very helpful motivator as you tackle your important goal.
Sharing your goal with others is also often beneficial. This step helps commit you to follow through.
I have been considering beginning to blog for a while, so this initial entry marks my first step for the New Year’s resolution. I’ll be sharing thoughts on various topics relating to finances in the weeks ahead.
So I too am ‘getting going’ and will be monitoring my progress along the way. I hope you will return to visit often.
