As part of the pre-assignments for the Best Year Ever workshop Nicole and I are leading on Sunday, January 10 and Sunday January 17, we ask participants to consider the following questions. I answered many of these same questions myself in 2009 in order to create a juicy full year and intend to do the same for 2010.

Guided Goal-Setting Questions – (Answer as many as you’d like)

  • What was the MOST FUN you had in 2009? Is this something you can yes to immediately for 2010?
  • What was something that has been on your mind to do for the past 3 years, 5 years, 10 years?
  • What’s a place you’ve visited that you’ve been dreaming of going back to?
  • What’s a place you’ve never been to that you’ve been dreaming of visiting?
  • What personal goal, if accomplished, would really make you proud and happy?
  • What professional goal, if accomplished, would really make you proud and happy?
  • What would your best summer ever look like? (Best fall? Best spring? Best winter?)
  • What didn’t you get to do last year that you’d really like to do this year?
  • Who didn’t you get to see last year that you’d like to see?
  • What makes you feel alive and like life is GOOD?
  • What’s a larger goal you have that might take 2-3 years, 5 years or 10 years to complete?
  • What could you do in the New Year toward the above goal?
  • If 2010 came to an end and you thought – that was a fantastic year – what kinds of things would have taken place?
