Use Verizon FIOS to Help You Succeed in the New Year

Attainable

When a plan is attainable, it is one that can be achieved with the hard work and determination. If a plan is attainable it can reasonably be accomplished. Attainability cannot always be determined in a vacuum. Sometimes we need to look at the other parts of the SMART plan to determine if a goal is attainable.

Realistic

When a plan is realistic, it is logical that it will come to pass. When a plan is realistic, it makes sense that it will come to pass. Realistic plans give you ideas and information sufficient to make it reasonable to believe the plan will come to pass.

Time Bound

When a plan is time bound, there are clear and identifiable time barriers to starting and completing the plan. SMART plans do not have indefinite or undetermined start and end dates.

You may not be able to create a SMART plan on your own. You may have to do some research to make it happen. If you have Verizon FIOS, there is no reason to worry. The super fast internet speed will help you do all the research you need to make your plans as SMART as they need to be.

What if you do not have a SMART plan? No problem, Verizon FIOS is still there to help you. Check out characters in your favorite movies and television shows for inspiration. Verizon FIOS has several television packages so you can pick just the channels you want. There is no reason to pay for stations you don’t want or will never watch. Don’t forget the On Demand library of movies and television shows. If you are like me, the right movie can set the mood for making your kids behave, pushing you to get the work done in time to meet your deadlines or setting the mood for romance with your spouse.

If you cannot figure out what to do to make life better for yourself and your family in the new year, check out an old favorite movie and let the characters inspire you. The FIOS On Demand library is HUGE and youy are sure to find something that will help inspire you to do what you need to do to be successful in the new year. For example, Celine Dion’s song, “Because You Loved Me” inspired me to be a better and more helpful person in the new year. So of course I turned to the FIOS On Demand library of movies and found “Up Close and Personal” which features the song. I found the movie On Demand, but could not find it on Netflix, Amazon Video or any of the streaming video sites I normally use. So it was Verizon FIOS for the win.

Once you have created your smart plan, used the internet to revise it and even found a movie or television show to keep you pumped on and on focus, you can use the third wing of the Verizon FIOS package – the telephone service and accountability partners. So many people are stuck to their smart phone or hiding from their smart phones that they forget the power of the reliable landline phone. Use your landline phone to get an accountability partner to help you stay focused and on target the upcoming year.  Pick a couple of friends and recruit them as your accountability partners. Tell them that whenever they get a call from your landline number they are to encourage you to stay on target with your SMART plan. Set up times once a week for a two minute call about your SMART plan. Nothing else gets discussed during these calls. Make the calls two minutes or so. That is long enough to get on, push each other to move forward with your SMART plan and then hang up. You may be tempted to stay on the phone a little longer because the call clarity is excellent with the Verizon FIOS phone service. But don’t. Hang up after two minutes of accountability business and then call each other back to talk and enjoy each other’s friendship.

As you begin the new year, don’t forget:
