8 Steps You Can Take Today to Make Changes in 2003
by Laurie Meade
"As a new year begins, we start reflecting on the past and
decide we are going to change. We want to accomplish something. A
new year could spark a new beginning; however, it gives most of us
time to make excuses for quitting.
Some of us might last until March, some of us don't last more than a
few weeks. :o)
In my online marketing business, I feel the following 8 areas are a
great place to focus on change for the new year.
I don't want to call them New Year's resolutions, that makes it easy
to give up on them. I would rather call them,
"My Checklist to Improvement and Change"
By renaming my goals, I can put them in a different perspective in
my mind. A checklist is something you will want to refer back to on
a daily basis.
A failed New Year's resolution is something you don't even want to
admit you made. This is especially true if you aren't successful
with it.
Turn off the TV!
Keep an "action file."
Organize three things every day
Set yourself up on a schedule
Take time to enjoy yourself and your family.
Invest in a family planner.
Save money.
Write a journal, do it daily.
Of course there are the more common New Year's Resolutions like:
Exercise more.
Eat healthier food.
Lose weight.
Quit smoking.
I plan to stay focused on the 8 above. Of course if I can manage to
add a few of these bottom ones that would be great.
I have already accomplished the quit smoking! (I never started in
the first place :o)
Success starts with developing a clear strategy. If you're serious
about making some changes in your life, focus on what's important to
you and develop a plan for reaching your goals.
