I believe that one of the reasons why Neora<\/a>\u00a0is so immensely successful is because when it comes to business, we\u2019re all on the same page! We make plans, we dream big, and we set goals and act on them daily.<\/p>\n

Start the Year Big<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you ever think about the number of lives we\u2019ve changed collectively? In one of her #realchats<\/a> articles, Neora Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Amber Olson Rourke wrote, \u201cWe\u2019ve never wanted to be just a skin care<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0wellness<\/a>\u00a0company. Our goal has been to create an opportunity available to people from all walks of life.\u201d I think about her words all the time. She said, \u201c\u2026the key to living your dream life is taking those daily steps to get to your goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The truth is, as individuals, we can\u2019t accomplish what we can as a team. For this reason, I must thank each one of you for joining the Neora family. Because of YOU, we\u2019re not only a team but we\u2019re a winning team. If ever you\u2019re in doubt about what we accomplish as a company, never forget, we\u2019re bigger than the product and we\u2019re bigger than the financial opportunity. Because we ARE in the business of Making People Better.<\/p>\n

Goal Setting Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My advice for the new year is to set your goals \u2014 right off the bat. Goals are the gateway to living your dreams. Why wait? These six principles are essential for successful goal setting:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write It Down:<\/strong> Whether your goal is to lose 25 pounds or make $100,000 a year\u00a0\u2014 by writing down your goals you\u2019re saying “no” to unnecessary distractions and “yes” to focusing on what matters most. Setting clear, measurable goals will help you see your way forward. Writing down your goals and posting them where you can see them every day becomes motivation for you to reach the end.<\/li>\n
  2. Be Specific:<\/strong> Just writing down, \u201cI want to lose weight,\u201d is not specific enough \u2014 but committing to losing 10 pounds over 30 days gives you a clear and realistic objective to work toward. Clear objectives will also make it easier to see pitfalls in your plan and will help you recognize the right choices from the wrong ones.\u00a0If my goal is to lose 25 pounds in three months, eating a donut a day may not be the best route to being successful.<\/li>\n
  3. Set a Deadline: <\/strong>If you have an open-ended goal, you\u2019re less likely to stay focused. I suggest setting a realistic deadline \u2014 one that is challenging but not so difficult that you lose hope or give up. You should be excited and motivated to reach your milestone, not discouraged because it\u2019s not attainable.<\/li>\n
  4. Identify your Plan:<\/strong> I can\u2019t stress the importance of this point enough: the plan you start with is not the plan that will get you to your end goal. The plan only gets you started. But, ultimately, it\u2019s your responsibility to adapt and adjust your actions to guarantee the most successful outcome.<\/li>\n
  5. Pay the Price:<\/strong> I\u2019m not going to lie to you \u2014 there\u2019s always a price to pay. Think about it this way: If you want to go back to school and work full time, you\u2019ll have to make sacrifices. Perhaps you give up your favorite TV shows or your weekly happy hour with friends. Instead of thinking about what you have to sacrifice now, focus on how making the hard choices now will benefit you in the future! The price you pay goes hand in hand with how you prioritize your to-do list. In fact; it\u2019s all about priorities \u2014 an hour of TV versus an hour of studying. If you want that A, you may want to study an extra hour and sacrifice an episode of your favorite TV program. That\u2019s the price you\u2019ll have to pay. That\u2019s how you reach your goals!<\/li>\n
  6. Say It:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you know what some of the world\u2019s most successful people have in common? They repeat their goals to themselves at least twice a day \u2014 out loud. The reason for this is that by saying your goals out loud, you\u2019re training your brain to focus and recognize what\u2019s positive instead of immediately jumping to reasons why you might fail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here\u2019s the thing: most people set New Year\u2019s resolutions and then forget about them within a couple of weeks. By setting your goals in writing and speaking them out loud, you\u2019re sure to be motivated to act on them. If you\u2019re worried about staying on track, proclaim your goals to loved ones. There\u2019s nothing better than having a cheer squad! A true support system will always help you stay on track.Winning is a team sport, and I can\u2019t wait to see you at the finish line!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
