Questions You Must Ask Yourself – 2017 Edition

To help you think about the year ahead, I have compiled a list of questions for 2017. And here they are: 

What are my goals for 2017 in the areas of business, relationships, fun, wealth, and health?

How do I plan on obtaining my goals for 2017?

Are my goals for 2017 specific enough, and are they realistic?

In the area of business, am I maximizing my current resources? How do I plan to grow my business this year and what are my action steps to do so? Am I making the best use of my time each and every day? How can I become more focused? Can I add anything to my sechedule or take away anything from my schedule to become more productive? How can I take smart risks in 2017 to help push my business forward?

In the area of relationships, do I have the people around me who I need to help me accomplish my dreams? How do I set aside the needed time to take care of those I care about most?

Am I making enough time for rest, relaxation, and fun? Am I taking care of myself? If not, what steps do I need to take to make myself a priority?

How much money do I need to have set aside to accomplish my goals for this year? How can I begin saving now to ensure that I reach my goals? (If you have big business goals, please know that cash flow is imperative.)

How long do I want to live? Why do I need healthier habits? Instead of a million things, what is one thing I can immediately implement in my life to become healthier? Are my energy levels high so that I can maximize each day?

If you’re looking to have a better 2017, this is a good start to help you move in the right direction.
