As we enter the last few weeks of 2026, your goals for next year should be reviewed. It’s the perfect time to reassess your accomplishments for 2025 and organize the new year ahead.
How did 2025 shake out?
I like to make a list (using last year’s focus) on what was achieved in your career this year. Did your career targets meet your expectations? What goals need revising or provide feedback for other career tracks, like a promotion or movement to a different area? Get an assessment for where you’re at in your job and make a goal(s) for 2026.
Does your lifestyle fit you?
Again, ask yourself the questions about who you’re socializing with and why. Does my “tribe” support my long- and short-term goals? Am I getting the support I need to make my dreams a reality? Plus, remember lifestyle is everything from your budget on spending, where you live, and who you hang out with. These all need to align with who you truly are and where you’d like to end up.
Is your mindset supportive or hurting you?
Your frame of mind has a huge impact on your personal goals and their success. For example, if you’d like to try to learn a new language, hobby, or change careers you can! You have to start, without having the mastery or confidence to be good at first. We all start out as a student at some time in our lives. But, never starting that path toward change, will definitely hinder your progress toward learning and growth.
So, the old saying rings true, “If you think you can or cannot, you are always right!” Having a positive mindset to achieve your goal is the first step toward success!
Keeping a record
Finally, keep a record of your yearly objectives with a timeline, benchmarks, and feedback for improvement. Keeping track of your progress makes you accountable especially if you share your goals with friends and family. You can change anything. If you really want something bad enough it is usually achievable with hard work, perseverance, and patience.
Create your 2026 goals to reflect your lifestyle and dreams and don’t ever give up!
