Last, but not least, for each goal, you need to associate a detailed action plan.

I hope you give this some thought and consider sharing how you set your goals for 2010 here. It’s been very helpful to me over the last few years, and I predict it’ll help me navigate the complexities of my upcoming 2010, as well.
