It’s common practice to make a New Year’s Resolution. Or, in some cases, resolutions. It’s also common practice to break them.
According to various surveys, the majority of us bail on our resolution(s) by the end of January. We can’t even hang in there for a full four weeks. It’s estimated that less than 20% of us keep our resolutions.
Whether you make New Year’s Resolutions or just set goals for your voice over business, I do believe it’s important to have targets for 2013. After all, as they say, if you aim at nothing you’ll hit it every time. So it’s better to aim at something!
With this in mind, I’ve created a list of 20 questions to ask yourself as you head in 2013.
From these questions, hopefully you can create some goals (or resolutions) and stick with them towards a successful and prosperous new year!
