2009 Goals Revisited - 8 Months Left! - By: Weston Lyon

I'm not sure if you realize this yet, but 4 months of 2009 are just about history. There are only 8 more months left in this year...scary, huh?

So, with this shocking information, let's re-visit your goals for 2009 and stay on track. Here's what to do:

1. Pull out your 2009 Goals and Review them.

Now's the time to pull out your 4 month old goals and take a gander.

Notice anything different about them? Are there any goals accomplished? Are there any goals you forgot about...or shouldn't be on the list any more?

It's important for us to review our goals frequently. Things change. We change. And goals change. If we keep them up to date there is nothing stopping us from achieving them.

The biggest mistake most entrepreneurs make, however, is that they never look at their goals once they set them. Okay, may once...in December...just before they throw them out and set new ones...but that's all.

Successful entrepreneurs review their goals and dreams constantly. Most successful entrepreneurs review their goals monthly and weekly at a minimum. Some, even, daily.

2. Rewrite 'em with Victory and Next indications.

Once you've reviewed your goals it's time to rewrite 'em. I like to make two lists.

The first list is my Victory List. On this list, I capture all my victories from the original 2009 goal list. By doing so, I am able to see what I've done so far this year.

[Take a time out for a moment here. Read your Victory List and give yourself a reward...you deserve it!]

Next, I create my second list...my New 2009 Goals List (or my Next List). This list consists of all the goals I still want to achieve this year.

Again, some goals may have been forgotten. And some shouldn't transfer to the new list because you're not interested in achieving them anymore...which is perfectly alright.

3. Prioritize your 2009 Goals - get 'er done!

The last thing you need to do is prioritize your NEW goals list. Remember, it's nice to review and rewrite this list, but if you don't prioritize your goals and take action, it's all for naught.

Take your new list and put your goals in a logical order to finish. Here are some questions to keep in mind:

Which goals move me closer to my ideal life/situation? Which goals make me more money...which ones do faster? Which goals are going to be fun?

Re-visiting your goals will put things into perspective for you...especially now with the new economy upon us. Again, some will stay and some will go. Keep the goals you want to achieve in front of you as much as possible.

Celebrate all your victories and review this article again next month. Remember, successful entrepreneurs review their goals monthly at a minimum!
