5 Steps to Plan – and Achieve – Your Success in 2015

By Monika Becker | January 29, 2015

Have you ever resisted setting clear goals or stating your intentions and acting on them? I sure did. Why? I had experienced failure in the past when I hadn’t been able to make my dreams reality, and I was simply afraid it would happen again and I wouldn’t achieve my goals again. So I chose to not even set goals to begin with! Can you relate?

At that time I assumed there was something wrong with the process of planning and goal setting itself. By now I know better: Goal setting and planning do work; actually, they are essential if we want to grow and succeed in life. It is important that our goals are rooted in our values and truly matter to us. I realize now that goal setting was not working for me because I was missing one indispensable ingredient: The connection to my “WHY”, my purpose, vision and values.

I wasn’t clear on why the goals I had identified mattered to me. I was not tuned in to what my purpose was, what I truly wanted to achieve and how the goals for the year fit into the larger vision for my life.

“Purpose isn’t a lofty thing, not some luxury that only billionaires can afford. In fact, if you want to grow and grow big, you can’t do it without a strong mission to get you there.” ~Tony Tjan (Venture capitalist)

So if you want to grow big, reignite your motivation, get ready for a breakthrough in 2015, and make your life fun and meaningful again, I strongly recommend you spend some time re-connecting with your purpose, values, and vision. Having a clear understanding of your destination and why it is important to you will help you make 2015 an amazing success, regardless of what you set out to achieve this year.
