What do you want to accomplish this year?  Where do you want to be a year from now?  For many of us, as soon as we say: "Happy New Year!" we feel the pressure to set resolutions for this year related to our health, personal or professional life.  But simply saying: "I want to lose weight this year," notes Host Annette Hines, sets us up for failure because we have not created a specific, attainable objectives to make this desire a reality.  In this episode, Hines guides listeners through the process of setting and achieving SMART goals.  The acronym SMART stands for: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely. If your goal has all five of these elements, then your ability to achieve the goal dramatically increases.  Listeners will be able to relate to Hines' personal journey of learning how to find the goals that really resonate personally when struggling with the day-to-day life routines that can make visioning for the future challenging.  She shares strategies to ensure that you will be able to predict progress, prioritize efforts, and attain what is realistic for you.  So, what are you waiting for? Grab a notebook as you listen to write some notes about the types of specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely goals you will achieve in 2023. One of Hines' goals that she has been making a reality is her Special Needs Academy, which is a combination of online courses and coaching programs.  Her signature program, Special Needs Advocacy and Planning (SNAP) offers a group coaching program that starts on January 18!
