[ FINISH YOUR YEAR BEFORE IT STARTS ]

ROHAN DREDGE

MAKING THE MOSTOF A YEAR

Making the most of a year 1

One of my mentors, Jim Rohn said you have to ‘finish your year before you start it’ that’s precisely what this is all about. helping you decide what you want and what to do next to achieve it.

To get the most out of this Annual Planner I suggest you do the following:

How to make the most of a year

Take enough time to reflect and be specific when you answer the ‘most important question’ remember, you gravitate towards your most dominant thoughts.

1

Utilise the Ideas page and the Mind Map to have no rules or boundaries - write whatever you dream or desire on it.2

When you do the Wheel of Life be very specific about the evaluation and be careful not just to ‘make every goal 10/10’. Be realistic but include a stretch for yourself. If there are any areas not covered add them in at your discretion.

3

Pages 6 and 7 are designed to be written AS IF you have accomplished them already. An example might be:

“I love the feeling of being 6kg lighter as a result of the healthy eating choices and exercise disciplines, I feel better about myself, have more energy and am more conf ident in my new clothes”

Do this ‘as if’ statement for each of your 8 areas of focus.

4

Making the most of a year 2

Use the Annual Planning section to look at an overview of the entire year. You may want to include important dates, birthdays, anniversaries, school holidays, your vacation time so that you get an overall feel for the flow of your year.

5

Use the 90 Day Planning to breakdown the big goals you have from your Wheel of Life to put weekly activities you must to achieve each of these goals. This is the most details planning tool you have.

6

You can further breakdown the 90 Days into each month ahead and plan the activity and focus for the next calender month. This allows you to be adaptable to external issues like family, work, travel etc. Use the month view in the same way you would use a year view.

7

Use the Lessons Learned and Wisdom Gained section as you go through your year and learn and reflect on things that will make the next year even better.

Go on, f inish your year before you star t it and make it great!

8

Planning for the next year can begin as soon as you know what your priorities and big goals are, begin to put the most important things in place and other important dates as you go.

9

Making the most of a year 3

What would you need to have DONE and whowould you needed to have become in order to

be a person you are DELIGHTED TO MEET

A most important question….

It’s December 31st next year. You are walking down the street in your local area and you bump into, of all people, you!

Describe who you meet that day….

Print this page out and “score” your life in each of the following areas by colouring in the level you feel you are in each area.

Closest to the outside of the circle is a 10 (best); Closest to the inside of the circle is a 0 (worst).

Then select a different coloured ink and mark the wheel where you would like it to be in 12 months.

Use the following page to describe what the increase actually looks like.

Making the most of a year 8

Having completed your Wheel of Life for the second time and gained clarity on WHERE you want each area to be, use this section to write down what the improvement in each area looks like for you – WRITE IT AS IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IT IN THE PRESENT. EG: I feel so much better weighing Xkg and training 3 times each week, the energy levels I have and impact on my well being is so pleasurable.

Use this to put in place exactly what you will do WHEN to accomplish your goals in the first ninety days of the year. Some guiding principles for planning the next ninety days include:

NINETY DAY PLAN

Answer the question “What is preventing me/us/the business from growing?”.

Listen and prioritize the answer to the above question.

Having written clarity on what to improve in each of the areas in question, write down what the improvement in each area

looks like for you [in the present]

Break down based on your knowledge of self/business what would be the BEST way to achieve that goal.

[Be sure to include a stretch goal]

Put in place a week by week breakdownof what needs to be done by whom.

Agree on reporting and accountability for the plan.

Action and review weekly.

At 75 days starts the process all over!
