Today, I am joined by my good friend Diogo Barboza. He is an entrepreneur and an overall inspiring guy. When we recorded this, he was on vacation with his girlfriend in the south of Brazil, but he was nice enough to make some time for me. Diogo was on the podcast about three months ago talking about his philosophies on business and life, so if you like this episode you should check that out as well. In this episode, we talk about setting yourself up for success and growth for the year ahead. Research shows that you are 40% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, so Diogo and I share some of the goals we wrote down for 2020 and what actions we will take to fulfill them.
Helpful advice:
Evaluate the previous year
1. Write down things you did well over the past year.
2. Things you were not happy with.
3. When you were the happiest and what caused it.
4. When you were the saddest and what caused it.
5. What new skills did I develop?
6. What situations did I handle particularly well?
7. How did I make a positive difference for others?
Set goals for the next one
1. Who do I want to be and what realistic step can I take next year to be closer to that?
2. Write down personal, professional, educational, fitness, and perhaps spiritual goals for next year and revise them in July if necessary. 40% more likely to achieve goals if you write them down
3. Be specific!
