Okey dokey … now on with our regularly scheduled transformation …

It’s an awesome day when you put the finishing touches on a shiny new plan for a shiny new year with some glistening goals.

I’m a total geek for a plan full of BHAGs {Big Hairy Audacious Goals}!

But not everyone gets as excited as the goal-setter.

Sometimes those closest to us are in resistance to our goals, because quite frankly achieving big goals requires some big sacrifices.

Make no mistake: those around you are used to you being who you’ve always been, and may put up a fight when you go in pursuit of higher and better personal and professional achievements.

You need some tools in your toolbox for setting boundaries and expectations for getting support from those around you.

Here are your action steps:

1. Call a family meeting.

Share your goals and explain what they mean for everyone when you achieve them.

2. Get their commitment to support you when you have to jet to work early, stay late, and even some weekends.

Ask them to pitch in with grocery shopping, household chores and anything else you might need.

Remember: If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

3. Go outside of your family to anyone else who needs to be in the circle of trust.

Explain why you won’t be able to chat during the workday, and be sure to let them know they mean the world to you.

4. You’ll need to get intentional about work and about play.

Put together your intended work schedule.

Then block off a few weeks for vacation, as many 3-day weekends as you can, one day every single weekend with no phone/work {and a few other breaks for good measure}.

When you set boundaries and expectations, you and your peeps know there is a light at the end of the tunnel {which is also not an on-coming train}, and everyone will be happier for it!
