Happy new year

I love new year’s day. It’s a day of newness. The whole year stands before us, waiting for us to decide where it will take us and how we will get there.

Will this be your year to shine? Only you can make it so.

Decide now. Set your goals. Write them down. Review them often. Devise a plan. And take action.

Happy new year!
Annette

Here's a little bit of homework for today

Take some time to think about this past year. And some time to think about the upcoming year. Here are three questions to help you:

What did I do well this past year?

What did I not do well this past year?

What can I do to make next year better?

You can use these three questions to evaluate any area of your life – your business, your family, yourself.

Now take out a blank sheet of paper, go to a quiet room, turn off the cell phone and the computer and start writing. Your answers to the third question are your goals for next year.

What You Can Learn From Michael Phelps and his Olympic Medal Bid

Michael Phelps came to Beijing with a goal – to earn 8 gold medals in one Olympics. That would put him one up on fellow American Mark Spitz who currently holds the record with his 7 gold medals earned at the 1972 Munich games.

If you pay attention to the interviews with the Olympic athletes you will notice they almost all have something in common. They have set a goal. That goal may be to improve a time or, like Michael Phelps, to win 8 gold medals.

We see the athletes performing in the Olympic Games. What we don’t see is the thousands of hours that go into preparing for that performance. The goal is what gives the athlete the determination and focus to continue to work, even when it may seem impossible.

Start by setting your goals. They may seem impossible at the time. But the more you focus on those goals, the more you will begin to do the things necessary to move toward reaching them.
