What Will You Add To Your Arsenal in 2012?

Now is the time to start thinking about what you can add to your arsenal to ensure that 2012 is as good as you can make it.

I learned a long time ago that in order to have continued success in what you do, you have to - every now and then - put some of what you make back into your business .....I can't think of a better time than 6 days until the new year to start thinking about what you can add to your arsenal to ensure you have a great 2012!

No matter what your occupation ....everyone can challenge themselves and benefit from adding new things to possibly help them in the new year!

Could it be a ......

New Lap Top?
All in one wireless printer?
ipad?
Camera?
Smart phone?
ipod?
Subscription to the local newspaper?

No matter what you add ....Just be sure and add something!

The iPad will be my 2012 addition to my arsenal but I think I may wait til the iPad 3 comes out mid year. And possibly a new MacBook Pro. We'll see!!

Good morning, Rob. I reckon I am telling my age, but I learned to type on an old typewriter like that...

Hi Rob - I got the new laptop just in time--the old one--and I mean old (well not as old as your typewriter)--went completely belly-up this morning! The new Droid Razr with its docking station (screen and keyboard) make long distance traveling a lot more productive for my assistant (wife), although she complains that she doesn't get to see the scenery that way. : )

Santa bought the wife an iPad2 and I'm waiting until we see how it does before I make a decision. Not that I'll need it but I think I'll need more storage

I wholeheartedly agree Rob and I used to drag along a hard copy portfolio of 8X10 glossy of my before and after work. I bought an IPad 2 and now do all my business using it as well as show my photos right from my IPad. Not only do they look best from a computer screen, but I carry less and it's more professional! Well worth the money!

Rob, new tools seem to bring new ideas and a range of challenging learning curves. I added an iPad, 2nd monitor and a digital camera with a 22mm lens and some books and now we are working on adding another four on the floor to balance out life (or carry everything). Good post and interesting to see what folks are doing.
