A guide to help you stick to your New Year resolutions!
Here's a smart guide to identifying the right resolutions to improve your life, creating a plan on how to reach it, and becoming part of the small group of people that successfully achieve their goal. Vague resolutions give no one clarity. A statement like "I want to get healthier," or "I want to be happier" has more weightage, when it is linked to a number.
