Your Goals. Your Priorities. My Role.

Michael, I am self motivated no coach needed....  as to Goal I am a big picture guy and visual so I see my goals and just try to reach it without a written recipe, Endre

Everyone can benefit from a different perspective...only seeing ourselves in the mirror can be shallow...and i sooo disagree...politely...we have always thought of you are one of our beloved cheerleaders !

Good morning, Michael... in this regard we are two birds of a feather!

Michael, We each do our "own thing". That's good. That's whatever works for each of us. That's a start...

Good morning Michael.  I've already broken my resolution for this year.  It was not to have any resolutions and then one popped up out of nowhere.

So far this month, I have met my goal to lose a few pounds.

Good mornign Michael. My goals are personal so only I know the score. Like Endre Barath, Jr. it works for me! Enjoy your day!

Michael, have never made resolutions, as have always believed if there needs to be change, do it then, don't want until the first of the year! 

 Good morning Michael. Thank you for the timely reminder of how time waits for no man or woman ....

Hmm, not your problem huh?  I was really counting on you to make my resolutions come to fruition, haha.  Making resolutions is not my thing either, so no need to worry.

Good morning Michael - goals belong to the person who makes them, or should.  Resolutions tend to be a joke because they are really not what you want.

I used to make them but not in a long time.  I have made a major decision for my life this year.  It is different than my original plan but for me rather a necessary one for a couple of reasons.   I am sure a friend of mine didn't really like it. It really didn't have anything to do with her. It what was best for me. 

I also try to never set myself up for failure. I go to the gym most every day, Jan 1-15 is filled with resolutions. On about Jan 16 I can find a parking spot again.

Michael Jacobs - When I started in the business of real estate and it was mandatory to sit through their goal-setting sessions, I thought it was all phony, fake, and designed for the bigger picture of the Company as a whole and not the individual. After all those years, I discovered it never was about me and that's when I decided to stand on my own and separate myself from the pack. 

"Your goals. Your priorities. Not mine."

It really is personal and misfortune to anyone who sets and prioritizes based upon what others believe is best for you. After all, it IS personal. 

Hi Michael- I don't break resolutions either, and for the very same reason...I don't make them. No one can dictate what someone else's goals or resolutions should be. They have to be your own and you have to own them. 

I do not make resolutions. Primarily because everybody expects you to, like it's a custom, but it is not my custom. I don't like doing what everybody else is doing. Never had a business plan, either. When I spot business, I simply pursue relentlessly.

Good morning Michael, no resolutions here either. I like to do my own thing and this year I'll be doing that more than I have in years. Change, on my terms but, I'm sure they'll be some detours.

No resolutions here either. Goals, sure, but not resolutions.

Your post reminds me of a post I wrote quite awhile ago about not being a parole officer for my clients. I advise.... the rest is their responsibility.

Hi Michael,
As far as other people are concerned, it's never about us is it?  They are responsible for themselves, their decisions and choices. We are responsible for ourselves.  If we can help them in a guidance way, I'm all for that (if they want it).

As for resolutions... nah!  I do like to choose an area of focus each year.  Even though I am, essentially, retired I chose "education" or "learning" this year.  Expanding my horizons.

Hello Pondering one and good morning. Nope, no resolutions, just the ususal goals and refresh to see what's working well, and what's not. I"m with you though, if one decides to make a big change, we can support, but we sure aren't the one responsible for the outcome.
