How To Start Now And Make 2006 A Success

This is an exercise that I'm starting with my messageboard members, as a way for them to really have a concrete and realistic plan in place, to make 2006 a great year for their business, but I thought I'd share the concept here as well, for those who are not members of the board.

OK, I got this inspiration while thinking about getting ready for the New Year. How many of us make New Year's Resolutions, with very good intentions, and don't follow through on them?

For instance, setting goals for your business, then life gets in the way and you look back a year later and think that nothing's actually changed, because you didn't do what you said you would.

Well, it's only November now, so it's actually a very good time to think about what you will do to make next year a great one for you. New Year's tends to be an emtional high, with a feeling of renewal and sometimes, in that spirit, we say things that we know we're not going to do. But, in the spirit of the New Year's Resolution, we decide to "go for it".

So, instead, here's what I want you to do. I will post about different areas of your business that might need a face-lift, revamping, refocusing, or just plain torn down and put back up again.

You post your comments under each subject, whether you feel good about where you stand in that category, need a little push, or want to regroup and begin again in that area of your business.

As we move along, we'll get you the help you need and steps to take, to get things in place, so that you can have a New Year's Resolution that you really can keep!
