New Years Day 2010 has come and gone, New Years Resolutions made, broken and/or forgotten…
Some things never change, do they? So why does that happen? Why do we keep on doing the same things that we know didn't work for ourselves, our businesses or our lives?
Most of us, if we are fortunate enough, have a few days off and away from 'The Business' at this time of year. The last few weeks of 2009 was an opportunity to spend some quite time to relax and review the ups and downs that had occurred during the last 12 months or so. My guess is that most of the things that came up were the things that didn't work, the money we lost, or how the business slowed due to things outside our control.
Rarely, do we allow ourselves to concentrate on the achievements, the successes that occurred when we least expected them, the critical moments when you just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
These are the things that did work!
Take a few moments during your well-deserved holiday to list all the things that did work on one piece of paper and on another all the negative things that didn't.
When complete put the negative to one side, and concentrate on the list of things that worked. Recall what you did, what were the results, the improvements and most importantly, how can we repeat these and leverage off them.
Over the next few posts we will start to look at how we can create 2010 as our best year ever, simply by doing the things that work rather than those that don't
