Happy New Year

Another year is almost over and it's time to review the previous year and think about the next. This is a great time to plan for where you want to be in the coming months. After all, time will pass regardless of whether or not we have a plan. I suggest you take a little time and set some goals and resolutions for 2006, if you haven't already.

I'll give you a small look into mine. I didn't want just another list of goals to accomplish this year so I made my list with the following categories.

Body

Mind/Spirit

Finance

Home

I then wrote down everything I wanted to accomplish under each category, made sub goals and made each goal as detailed and achievable as possible and set up a reminder to read it every 2 weeks and keep working toward my goals. I believe this is where most people go wrong. If you just make a list and don't figure out how to make it work and read it often, then it turns into just another forgotten list and 365 days from now, we all wonder where the year went.

Here's a little trick that works for me. I added a few goals that were so easy that I can't help but achieve them. I learned a long time ago that it helps me stay motivated as the year goes by.

If you didn't achieve everything you wanted in 2005, don't dwell on what you didn't achieve but focus on what you did and build upon that. You can't change the past but you can learn from it and change the future.

Namaste,

PS I’ve started working on a list of all the tools that I use to grow my business. The only tools on the list are ones I use and know to work.
