It’s a new year, and like many people, you’ve probably set a list of resolutions aimed at improving your life and career.
But what if I told you that these resolutions alone won't bring the change you're seeking in your veterinary career?
-
In this episode you’ll learn:
The common pitfalls of New Year's resolutions.Strategies to set career goals that are genuinely achievable and fulfilling.How to maintain momentum and adapt as the year progresses.

YOUR NEXT STEP: A Daily Check-In
If you’ve made a goal for the year that is SMART, it’s still likely going to be a big goal. We need to break this down into very small micro-goals.
How?
Each day, while taking into account your bigger goal, first, consider whether anything significant has changed between today and your last daily check in, THEN write down 3 priorities for the day.
If the task takes less than 2 minutes, do it right now.
So for example, if your bigger goal is “Create a better work-life balance”, it’s too vague and you will not achieve that today, but you could write down and DO,
Define SPECIFICALLY what work life balance means to me and write a SMART goal for 2024.Write down and discuss with those closest to me, what are my non-negotiablesContact the boss to discuss a change in work schedule.
A daily check-in will allow you to take little nibbles at a bigger, seemingly undefinable, goal.
