3 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Planning Your Vision For The New Year

We’re getting close to the end of 2019 and it is a great time to take a look at your goals for the upcoming new year and map out your new vision. Maybe you are planning to change your career path, move to a new location or finally start your dream business. Not so far ago I wasn’t a big fan of planning but I know how important it is to be clear in which direction you’re going and what steps to take.

However, before starting your goal mapping and planning activities there are 3 questions to ask yourself which will help you to get even more excited about your new goals. Many people forget about those questions and they jump straight away to planning.

It’s all about revisiting those past months and asking yourself those 3 questions.

 

1. What have been your 3 biggest accomplishments this year?

When you look back at the past months what are you happy about when it comes to your career or personal life? I invite you to create a separate list for your professional and personal life and think about your accomplishments in those two areas. Have you finally started your dream business?

Have you been working with a dream client? Have you launched a new programme? Or you started a new and fulfilling career path!
What are you proud or happy about this year? What has been particularly successful for you this year?

Before starting to map out your new vision and plan for the next year it is good to celebrate your achievements and reward yourself for your hard work. So go write down your achievements, share them also here in the comment box, and celebrate. I’m going to write down my achievements, too.

2. What has not been working for you?

When you’re thinking about this year coming to the end, what didn’t work out for you? Maybe you launched a programme and none signed up? You didn’t get the job you wanted? Some strategies in your business are not working.
This will help you to evaluate what you can change and improve next year. I’ll be working more on my time management and changing how I structure my working days. What about you?

3. What is still missing in your career, business or life?

This question will help you to start thinking about what you want to achieve or change next year. For example, it can be having more fun in your business. More time for travelling, going to the gym, and feeling fulfilled in your career? What’s missing for you?

 

Once you’ve answered those questions you can start thinking about your vision for the upcoming year and your action plan.
