I’ve deliberately been holding back on sending the newsletter because people that have set New Year Resolutions often don’t start to hit the wall for a week or two as to begin with they are carried along on a wave of enthusiasm and determination As such,  I once saw a stat that suggested over 70% of people set at least one New Year Resolution per year. Unfortunately though, the vast majority of these good intentions disappear before the guy next door has packed up his giant inflatable reindeer and unplugged the Pink Floyd light show he liked to call his Christmas decorations. The problem with New Years Resolutions is that people, quite understandably, decide on them during the holiday season.  After writing my last post Why New Years Resolutions Fail, Rhonda asked in the comments field what’s the difference between a New Years resolution and a goal.

It’s much more important than I originally thought, because it explains why so There is a chapter in my book about setting goals and I want to re-visit that topic today because although I posted it here many months ago it’s something that never losses its relevance.
