The end of a calendar year EXCITES me! I’m a hard-core self-reflectionist, and for me, there’s just no better fun than an end-year review. I also love goal setting, so I was eager to join in when I saw my coach, Tiffany Moore post her 13 before 2013.
This is also a great time to announce the New Year series I’m planning! It’s called “New You for a New Year: 7 Days of Reflection, Planning, and Goal-Setting.” The 7-day series starts December 27, so please mark it on your calendar.
Here are my thirteen before 2013:
1. Launch my first Marketing Creativity product, Shop Fundamentals
2. Build a team of affiliates for said program (I’m aiming for 20)
3. Find a new exercise program that excites me
4. Schedule activities and bonding time with my family for the upcoming holidays
5. Swim in one of New Zealand’s natural lakes (I’m already in Wellington, NZ … this isn’t as extreme a goal as it sounds)
6. Challenge myself to keep productive -AND- stay present in the moment
7. Reach 3,500 sales at the Energy Shop
8. Write at least 20 new blog posts, and make ’em good!
9. Have an all-day Christmas movie marathon with my family
10. Take a weekend and turn everything OFF: No internet, phone, or screens for 48 hours
11. Bake a new dessert recipe with my daughter
12. Practice meditation and yoga more regularly (at least 3 times per week)
13. Finish 4 inspirational/motivational/instructional books

I love reading other people’s goals, so if you have something similar to 13 before 2013, or you create your own, please link up or list them in the comments.
What would you like to finish up before the year ends?

Great list. I will probably be joining you with a holiday movie marathon (Elf would definitely be on my list, too). The unplugging for a weekend idea is great, too. It was really valuable to write a list like this before New Years rather than waiting for the New Year to reflect and find focus. No time like the present, right?
Thanks, Jen!
Lisa, I love your list!! I would like to come visit you in NZ, drink hot chocolate and watch Elf too. Shall we make a date? 🙂
Absolutely! See you soon 😉
