New Year, New Way to Set Goals

New Year, New Way to Set Goals

Instead of New Year resolutions, set personal goals.

Set goals around the behaviors and mindsets you can control, that can lead you to the outcomes you desire.

One goal might be weight loss (as it probably might be for most of us after all the wonderful holiday eating 😊). But don’t focus on the number on the scale, but rather, what leads to a lower number on the scale.

Some examples of setting a goal you can control might be no late-night snacking for 90 days, not eating within three hours of bedtime, and/or 30 minutes or more of exercise at least five days a week. All within your control, and known contributors to weight loss.

When it comes to your donors, rather than setting goals for number of gifts or dollar amounts, focus on the behaviors that you can control that can influence that.

How many connections can you make? How many personal notes or phone calls? How many hours spent in conversation with donors?

Focus on what you can control.

Blessing to you and your family for 2026 and beyond!
