What progress do you want to make this year? Do you want to pay off debt, lose weight, start a business or write a book? All that takes planning!

I am a HUGE fan of the S.M.A.R.T goals method – it’s a great way to stay accountable to yourself (because you are your best cheerleader!). So, with a little “smart” planning, YOU can achieve the goals you set for yourself (or at least make significant progress!).
