Two great pieces about business planning Keith Ferrazzi

Happy New Year! To help you start your year off right, today's post is packed with goal setting resources from myGreenlight. Enjoy!
The Five Lists You Need to Set the Right Goals this Year
In honor of the recent creation of myGreenlight's Course III, we’re releasing an article from it. Create clarity around your dream career by creating five simple, yet meaningful, lists.
Set Your Goals for Success in Six Steps
You probably have plenty of experience setting goals. But for whatever reason, you haven't often followed through. It happens. They weren’t the right goals, or you didn’t have support to keep you on track. Or perhaps your goals changed over time, and now you MUST re-evaluate. This guide will provide the tools you need to set commitments that matter, and achieve goals with consistency and focus.
An Alternative to Goal Setting, Just in Time for 2012
December’s Master’s Mission from the venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and coach Christine Comaford helps you to identify not just goals, but true “needle movers” that will transform your business and/or personal life.

The RAP that Made Me a First-Time CEO
If you haven’t yet created a Relationship Action Plan (RAP), get motivated to do so by watching this video of me explaining the RAP that made me a first-time CEO.
Hope these resources help you make 2012 your best year yet.

Ready for this month's myGreenlight master's mission? This is your chance to identify the fundamental "needle movers" that will create success in 2012. -KF
Does the idea of setting goals instantly paralyze you? Have you found goal-setting to be an ineffective way to create real change in your life?
On a recent Social Capitalist call, the author, CEO, venture capitalist, and coach Christine Comaford gave myGreenlighters the following mission to improve their 2012 planning:
Identify needle movers, rather than goals, for 2012.
Needle movers are actions that will truly move the needle forward in your business or personal life – essentially goals that change your life fundamentally. While a goal is binary and can leave you feeling great or defeated, a needle mover ends with you either reaching your target (what you want), the minimum (what you are willing to accept), or a mind blowing result (beyond your wildest dreams!). You won’t always get the exact result you want but you will have moved the needle forward.
To complete Christine’s mission, write down the three things that would change everything for you in your business life and your personal life. Three in each category. For example, Christine said that one of her 2012 needle movers will be to take at least seven personal retreats to do yoga and explore nature throughout the year. Getting centered allows her to be of better service to her network and to be overall more productive, healthy, and happy.
What are your 2012 needle movers? Please share – your ideas may inspire someone else!
