Time Really Does Fly!!!

You know that saying, time flies when your having fun? It really does!

This might explain what I mean. 23/366 = 6.3

OK, so whats the equation mean? Well 23 days of 2008 have passed. Divided those days by 366. (it's a leap year) The result? 6.3 per cent of the year is GONE - gadzooks!

So let's do a quick "goal review" or a resolution recall. Are you 6% or better towards your goals?

If your goal was to lose 50lbs of fat - you should be down 3 lbs right now if you're on track.

If your goal was to increase your income by $10,000 this year - you should already have made an extra $600.

Now I know goals are not always achieved linearly - particularly not fat loss or financial goals -- but you'll hopefully see my point.

Last year I set a goal for a specific number of workouts. This year I want to workout 250 times. I should have 15 workouts already in on the books. Humm...I'm off by a few. I need to step it up!

For one of my business projects - as of yesterday I'm at 5.5% of my annual goal. For another I'm at about a 2% increase over the same point last year (which is slightly behind schedule).The point is - you need to constantly assess where you are in relation to your desired outcomes.

Are you on track? Are you headed in the right direction?Have you even moved off the starting line?

Yes? Congratulations - 2008 is shaping up to be a great year for you.

No? Don't worry - just step up your ACTION a little bit and catch up.

Til next time.....
