Will you succeed in 2010?

Well, will ya?

How about another question,

Do you have the will to succeeed in 2010?

by definition, Webster's style;

will 1. wish; desire 2. strong purpose 3. power of choice 4. attitude

Let me make a very strong suggestion to start off with;

Forgive yourself for everything that you have done in the past!

Forgive yourself for what didn't work, for that which you didn't try, for the mistakes that you may have made, everything.

Forgive yourself; clean slate, go forward!

So where do you start?

According to Chris Gardner, the author of "The Pursuit of Happyness,"

"Start Where You Are"

That's his new book, and quite frankly where else can you start from? If you have any familarity with his story you know that he got knocked on his butt, got up, and did quite well for himself. For most of us we're not starting off quite that bad, but some may be. Just remember, anything's possible if you have the will to succeeed.

Do you have clearly defined written goals?

Despite the fact that over and over again studies tell us that the most successful business people have "clearly defined written goals," most of us ignore this. Why? Why? Why? I don't know. Is it we don't want to be held accountable? Writing things down seems to do this.

The Power of Choice!

You will choose to succeed, or not. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it. Make each and every choice wisely.

Finally, determine what success means to YOU, not what it means to someone else. How can you achieve it, if you haven't defined it.

So,

Will you succeed in 2010?

It's up to YOU!!!

GO FOR IT!!!!!

Thanks for the tips Jay!! I needed a little pick me up this A.M.!! All the best in 2010!!

Thanks for the reminder Jay. I was just reviewing our production for this year last night in order to set up some goals for 2010. Without those goals we're just ships without rudders floating around there in sea of uncertainty. Good post and best of luck to you.

Good Article. We learn a lot of new things from Active Rain blogs.

Defining your by WHY is the key!

That is how we will survive 2010!

Have a great year..

Stephen,

you're welcome, don't forget to take some action.

Good article. We just had our review showing our game plan for the remainder of the year plus goals for next year.

Jerry,

for many if they don't do something now, they'll wake up in march and say, i should probably do some goals for 2010. you'll be miles ahead of them and they won't know why.

clear sailing ahed, good luck.

Edward & Celia,

i have gotten so much from the Rain and the Rainers, all i can do is contnually say thank you to everyone, and i do mean everyone.

LIsa,

Why do we do things, and at times why don't we, and what does it mean to us. we need to know.
