It's amazing!  2012 is finally upon us and 2011 is nothing but about 2 weeks away from being a memory.  How'd you do with your goals?  Me?  I did really well.  I failed in many areas, but I held fast to some massive memories.  I hired a few new just great and new branches.  I can't even tell you how excited I am to have them on our team and helping us penetrate our market. 

Work

I'm expanding further and further and getting more financially sound.  Really, one of my biggest goals in 2011 was to have a laser like focus.  I blogged less on Active Rain, but did do more focused blogging, and, as a result, thought that I was able to grow my business purposedly in 2011.

Family

My wife and kids and extended family grew stronger in 2011.  However, I'm not done.  I'm just beginning.  Next year, I'm going to lose 30 pounds.  I'm not fat by any means, but I blew a knee out and for the first time in my life, couldn't run for about 6 months.  Im' back on the bandwagon and am making that a focus for 2012.

Also, I'm going to more than double our production within our region in 2012.  Here's to 2012 and here's to legacies!

I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT AM PLEASED WITH 2011

You have some great goals, Larry.  I hope you remember to sneak some fun in there, too.

Love it, Larry!  You have set some BHAG for 2012 - but looks like it did for 2011 and met them!  Sounds like you have that focus - good luck and God bless in 2012.  MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and to your family!

Without goals you have no idea how you are doing. I know you know this and nice to see you are all over this. Hit your goals and never quit! Always press forward no matter the obstacles and you will continue to hit these goals and beyond...

Peace and blessing to you and yours and a prosperous 2012

Hi Larry,

Glad to hear you've have a good year. I liked your comment about  "I blogged less on Active Rain, but did do more focused blogging" makes sense to me.

For me I'm looking forward to personal fitness and financial fitness for the new year!

Larry...2012 should be a great year for those who stay focused.  On personal fitness...checkout "INSANITY," you will be glad you did. In 2011, I lost 35 lbs, completely changed my diet, and changed my perspective on life.  One of my My fitness goals for 2012 is to lose 40lbs and to dominate INSANITY...Very good Post Larry!

Good luck with the new goals for 2012, and especially losing the extra pounds.  Eat less and move more!  But until then... happy holidays!
