Reflect, Take, Check and Bring on 2019!

Jan 11, 2019

Have you walked back into the office for 2019 and been caught up in a whirlwind of ideas, plans, goals and budgets? Combined with client requests, catch ups and enquiries, do you feel like the holiday is a distant memory?!

Before you get caught up in another year, take some time to reflect on the results of the last 12 months and ask yourself what is it that you really want to achieve this year. It’s a question I ask myself, and my clients, at the start of every new year.

Firstly, reflect on the year that was, because it’s important to know what was achieved (it’s usually more than we give ourselves credit for!), but also think about what wasn’t completed and why. It helps with your planning, because it’s unlikely you need to make extensive changes.  It’s often just the 1%’s you need to work on to reach the next level. These 1%’s could easily be your new year goals. So long as they’re realistic.

Realistic goals are the ones you want to set yourself. Break them down to daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly activity so you can keep yourself accountable. Give yourself small milestones so that you not only have a sense of achievement, but you don’t feel overwhelmed. Yes, have a stretch target as well, but if you don’t reach the small targets, the big picture will start to look very hazy very quickly.

So, set yourself those realistic goals and, as you do, think about one word to summarise what you’d like to achieve in 2019. For me, it’s consistency. But it could be anything you like. It could be ‘balance’, maybe ‘growth’, ‘profit’ or ‘efficiency’.

So, what’s your word for 2019? Whatever it is, the Real+ team can’t wait to help you achieve your best year yet.
