Welcome to 2012!

What a year 2011 was for me! I had my first granchild, a beautiful little girl. My book sales have been fantastic and I just finished a 4 week crusie. Now it's time for back to work and the first thing I need to do is create my 2012 plan or what I want to achieve in this new year. Part of my plan will be work related the other will be personal. The two cannot be separated. 



Have you made New Year Resolutions? Most times they fail so why not try to think of them more as life plans that will enhance your Life and Work. Make sure the plans you make are achieveable. You want to be successful, don't you?

In today’s blog I will offer you some tips to up your chances for success.

Tips to help you succeed with your 2012 Resolution

1. Write down on paper what it is you plan to achieve. What you resolve to do. Yes I said paper. You can always copy to a computer program.

2. Now look carefully at what you have written. How will you achieve this? What actions do you need to take to reach this goal?

3. What resources do you need in place? If it is to lose weight, do you need new walking shoes; do you need to join a gym; do you need to talk to your doctor?

4. Keep that paper and pencil handy. Now that you have listed the resolution or goal you want to achieve make a list of Action Steps needed to get you to where you want to be.

5. Take each Action Step and break it down into smaller Action Steps.

6. Assign a time line to each of you Action Steps.

7. Hold yourself accountable. Post these Action Steps where you can see them throughout your day.

8. Reward yourself on the completion of each Action. If losing weight is your Goal, make sure the reward doesn’t have too many calories.

9. Persist. Persist. Persist.

10. Reward yourself.

Remember, there will be times when you will hit a bump in the road, slow down but do continue. Don't take your stumbles as an excuse to give up. Get up dust yourself off and continue.
