Robin Sharma says he has a very calibrated method to plan for the New Year. Clarity of strategy is the golden key to focused performance. Here are 4 steps to developing a battle plan for the upcoming year:

  1. Forget about trying to make 100 things happen. Just produce one outright masterpiece and amazing blessings will unfold.

  2. Note your five central personal values. Success and elite productivity appears when you work and live under your own terms and standards.

  3. Set your three most essential goals for the key dimensions of your life (personal growth, family, work, fitness, financial, spiritual etc.).

  4. Build out the year quarterly by setting 10 deliverables and schedule time blocks for your goals and action steps on your month-to-month calendar.

Success isn’t just about making money. There are actually 8 elements that you want to make sure are at world-class levels before you call yourself a winner:

1: Inner Success: This includes a positive mindset, high-self respect, internal peace and a strong spiritual connection.

2: Physical Success: Your health is your wealth. What’s the point of getting to a great place in your career if you get sick doing it? Why be the richest person in the graveyard?

3. Family Success: When your family life is happy, you will perform better at work. No one gets to the end of their lives and regrets making their family a top priority.

4. Career Success: Actualizing your highest potential by reaching for your best in your career is incredibily important. Getting to greatness in your profession brings a feeling of satisfaction on a job well done.

5. Economic Success: Money is important. Makes life easier and better. Money allows you to live in a nice home. Take beautiful vacations and provide well for those you love.

6. Community Success: Human beings have a psychological need for connection and belonging. A rich network of mentors, interesting thinkers and valued friends just makes life better.

7. Adventure Success: To be fulfilled, each of us needs mystery in our lives. Challenge is necessary for happiness. The human brain craves novelty. And we are creative beings so we need to be creating constantly if we hope to feel joy. Lots of adventure (ranging from meeting new people to visiting new places) is an essential element of success.

8. Impact Success: Perhaps the deepest longing of the human heart is to live for something greater than itself. Each of us craves to be significant. To make a difference. To know that the world has somehow been better because we have walked the planet.
