Forget New Year's Resolutions! Happy New Year!
Goal setting success lies in life plans and behavior modification, not in making resolutions.

Set yourself up for SUCCESS not failure. Be Happy in the NEW YEAR!
Don't create unrealistic goals or aspirations which will dwindle after January and make you feel bad. That feeling is a journey you do not have to take and is a choice.
Looking at 2010 and behavior for success, there are 3 concepts I learned from Shaquille O'Neal and his dad on a Tony Robbins tape which are worth considering.
Shaquille O'Neal aka the "Shaq"is a basketball player with the NBA. He makes $21,000,000 a year is 7' 1" and weights 325 pounds. He played for Orlando Magic (1992-1996) Los Angeles Lakers (1996-2004)
Miami Heat (2004-2008) and Phoenix Suns (2008-2009)
His awards include: 1999-00 MVP award, 1992-93 NBA Rookies of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, 3 All-Star Game MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections and 3 NBA All-Defensive Team selections. He currently rands 5th all time in points scored, 6th in field goals, 15th in rebounds and 7th in blocks. In addition to his basketball career, O'Neal has released 4 rap albums, with his first, Shaq Diesel, going platinum.
It is my understanding from the tape I listened to, Shaq's dad asked him three questions each day which helped him excel to the level he is today.
1. What did you learn today?
2. Who were you nice to?
3. How was I better today than yesterday?
When I think about those three questions, which I have been for many years now, I continue to grow learn and be a better person.
The three questions can be incorporated into your business plan by learning, being better than yesterday and helping others. Simple Secrets of Success in my humble opinion!
My vision is to share the concept of "Who Were You Nice To" just like "Chicken Soup for the Soul."
We can create a culture of people looking to do a nice deeds every single day.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing with everyone in 2010 and navigating the Cosmic Cow Pie of life!
Have a SAFE and Happy New Year! Who where you nice to today?
