HAPPY NEW YEAR! Are You Ready?

By Brad DeSent, Program Manager, HTG Online, HTG Peer Groups

As we turn the page on a new year, you should ask yourself if you’re ready. This is our time to reset the counters. While we are in school we have semesters to conveniently break up our work into manageable divisions. You finish the course, get a grade, and move on to the next one. Good bad or indifferent, you have a forced fresh start.

But in the big R.W. (Real World), the only reset we get is once a year in January when we reset the counters and begin anew. There are many measurements in business but the January 1st reset gives us a chance to reflect on key areas that will drive success in the short and long-term. Here are a few areas I have found helpful over the years:

• Check your progress against long-term legacy goals. These involve health, wealth, and happiness. You should have targets and be intentional about getting there. You can save your way to being a millionaire if you start in your 20s. It’s not so easy if you wait until you’re 50.
