We’re closing out 2012. I want to help you fasten your seatbelt and get amped to make 2013 the single best year of your life yet. The year you change the game+release any form of ” stuckness”+outperform who you thought you were+influence everyone around you to lift their games as well. I know you can do this.

So here are 5 Ideas to get your goals done

record the goals that will help you Lead Without a Title and get great things done in 2013:1. CLARITY IS POWER. Vague resolutions lead to vague results. Record your goals with intense precision. Be detailed. And keep them crisp.2. BE EMOTIONAL. Great works of progress were created from burning desires (Picasso didn’t create from a spreadsheet). What I’m suggesting is that we do our heroic best not when we are stuck in our heads but when we are working with heart. Passion and strong emotional drive is what gets your biggest goals done. (You have to want your dreams so much that the desire seeps from your pores).3. START A MASTERMIND. This idea has served me so well–and I wish it upon you. For 10+ years, every few weeks, I’d meet a young/hungry/driven/brilliant entrepreneur at 6 am at my favorite park on a Friday morning. We’d share the progress on our goals, challenge each other, discuss our frustrations and review our commitments. Support matters.

4. FOCUS LIKE A GENIUS. All geniuses have one thing in common: they have trained their brains to focus on a single piece of work monomaniacally-for a long period of time. In our world now, many of us suffer from an addiction to distraction (too many potentially brilliant people spend their best hours playing Angry Birds on their iPhone). My suggestion: pick 5 clear goals for every quarter of 2013. And say no to everything else.

5. MAKE IT FUN. Why do it if it’s not going to be fun? Life’s ultimately a short ride. So find ways to celebrate your incremental wins. Look for the gifts in the setbacks. Surround yourself with other awesome people who–like you–want to make beautiful work–and change the world.

Hope this piece serves you well. Please share it so your friends can benefit. Let’s make 2013 breathtakingly great! Your fan.
