My 2018 Goals and Resolutions
Since 2014, I’ve been doing goals reports in private. They helped me to an extent, and I am pleased with my results. But it is pronounced that there was a component missing: accountability.
I first got into goal setting in the specific way I do it by Stefan James. He’s been doing goals reports since 2012 and just shared his 2017 year in review as well as his 2018 goals and resolutions. Inspired by him and other business owners like Pat Flynn and Tomas Laurinavicius I’ve decided to go public as well.
Being unapologetic makes you execute. Because you are not held up by convincing others.
I started last week by sharing my 2017 successes, failures, and lessons learned. That was already a big step for me. But I won’t stop there.
The Goals I Am Going to Accomplish In 2018
I have been using categories for my goals reports to see that I am moving forward in different aspects of my life over the past few years. I am not focused on one only one area at a time but rather a holistic approach to improve my lifestyle in general.
I also consider this list changeable. I might add, remove, or change goals as the year goes on, opertunities arrise, or sircumstances change.
I look at the goals on a weekly bassie and I will do a public review once per month. By doing so I stay clear on my path and know what I am working towards. These goals reports are going live in the category Monthly Goals Reports.

Are You Ready for 2018?
I firmly believe in 2018. I feel it’s a year of change, incredible opportunity and growth! I am looking forward to sharing more with you on this blog and to interact on different channels (please feel free to contact me on any of the many ways).
I highly recommend getting clear on your vision soon — don’t pospone it until next year. To start, look back at the last year — like I did with my goals review 2017 — but there is more to it. A big step was the Ally with Death Visualization I recently did after getting it recommended by Candice. There is tons of energy in getting clear on the fact that you as well will die! Better make the most of right now. Focus on what you truly want to accomplish and build.
Then set goals in a mindset of limitlessness. It makes sense to stay realistic to a certain degree (going from 1.000 per month to 1.000.000 per month might be a bit of a overstretch for most of us). But other than that — shoot for the moon. If you fail, you’ll have accomplished more than those who set out for 10 meters forward.
And last but not least: develop a system to keep yourself accountable. I tried it in private for the past 4 years (not sharing my goals), and it helped a little. I am looking forward to seeing the effect of sharing this list and the reports publicly. Whether you put it on your blog, share it with friends in an email, post it on your Facebook Profile, or send it to me for accountability, doesn’t really matter. Just get those goals out there. Set your intentions and resolution free.
Here is to an incredible 2018. Let’s build success, enjoy, and grow together!
