But let’s take time to really look at your ‘To Do’ list. The actual words ‘To Do’ have a negative connotation, and when you look at that list on a daily basis you think to yourself, ‘I MUST get this stuff done!’.

Expert Author: John Di Lemme | Summary I know this is a strange follow-up to my last article, but stick with me. Can you relate to setting goals and not achieving them?

Expert Author: John Di Lemme | Summary Each and every day, all of us continually search for the extra edge to win at the sport of sales and marketing. One of the most important things that you need to know is that there is a thin line that exists between activity versus accomplishment. Many people feel if they are ‘active’ then they are productive. Whatever your goal, many of us set New Year's resolutions with the best of intentions and a determination to succeed, only to set the same goals next year. However, most people set and forget their goals. They are not systematic goal setters following the SMARTer goal setting process - indeed only 2 in every 100 people are. Why don't the other 98 people set systematic long range goals that have clear steps and time lines to achieve them? Have you ever made a New Year's resolution, only to make the same resolution the following year? You may make these New Year goals with the best of intentions, with a desire and determination for change, only to find that a few weeks into the year you find that your determination and confidence to achieve your goal has evaporated.
