BE READY TO
RECEIVE A GREAT YEAR – Attitude makes a big difference.
"There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being
ready to receive it." -Napoleon Hill
Are you ready to receive your GREAT year in 2007?
Sometimes there are things at work in our lives that
sabotage our best efforts. When you’re expecting a GREAT
year and actively working towards that, look out for
certain people or habits or paradigms that act as heavy
baggage/chains holding you back from your GREAT year.
Watch out for things like:
-People around you, WITH the power to INFLUENCE, who have
neither your passion nor your drive for making a GREAT year
happen and who will (passively or aggressively) try to make
you doubt or give up or grow weary.
-Letting yourself get caught up (early) in the PARALYSIS OF
TAX SEASON. This is a powerful destroyer of any
attitude that is ready to receive a GREAT year!
-Thinking that ‘THIS’ (where you’re at now) is good enough
or that ‘THIS’ will continue the way it is if you just keep
doing the same thing year after year.
-Hiding from real issues and being inauthentic. So many
people are walking around wearing masks, and it
breeds mistrust and selfishness.
-‘Voices’ from the past that ring in your head telling you
that you’re not worthy or able to achieve GREAT
things. (sometimes can be a parent)
Don’t let these things stand in your way this year. Hold
firm in your belief and your actions.
Find what makes you an authentic, passionate leader and live
those things everyday.
There are so many ways to help prepare yourself and your
business for a great 2007. It’s important to find something
that really works for you personally. Not every method or
system will appeal to everyone or be effective, so find what
works for you.
The following are some simple ideas to help you get started
on a brand new year:
Have a New Year celebration meeting with your team early in
January!
(Your ‘team’ should be your actual staff members or for a
sole proprietor with no staff, invite your
colleagues/mentors/family/business coach)
You can meet in your office, boardroom or hotel
facility/conference room. Decide whether you need a full day
or a morning/afternoon to thoroughly cover the topics. Have
everyone actively contribute about the following topics:
- Decide what you’ve been doing wrong or poorly that
needs to stop.
- Decide what you’ve been doing right and well and
should continue.
- Decide what you should begin to do and implement.
Then act on your decisions. Move forward into 2007 with
purpose and goals.
OR
A Strategic Business Plan:
(this is the ‘basic’ outline. It can also be completed in
the format above with your team in a full or half day
session)
-Create 90 day GOALS: based on items you can and will
‘act’ upon, renewing the 90 day goals every quarter.
-Create a 12 month PLAN: begin to work on your 1 year
plan slowly and carefully throughout the year.
-Create a 3 year VISION: choosing and directing your
path and working towards where you want to be in three years
from now.
What goes into the Strategic Business Plan is critical to
your success.
Always make sure your business goals are compatible with
your personal goals, your family priorities and your
management abilities.
I hope you will be ready to receive a GREAT year!
