Do you know where 2007 went?

Oh my goodness, where did the year go? It's almost December 1st, I know that means that Christmas is right around the corner.

Do you know what else it means? 2008 is only 32 days away? So how did you do on your 2007 New Year Resolutions? I typically don't make resolutions, that way I don't disappoint myself. However, this year I did set some goals. Did I accomplish them, nope. Can I blame the Market? Nope, the results rest with me. Should I have worked harder and smarter in March, April when the market really started to turn, you betcha.

Now what, now I will have a long talk with myself, peering into the mirror and vow to make different choices next year. So, 2008, look out because here I come. I've got resolutions, goals and a PLAN for the future. (Don't ask me what those all are, I don't really have them yet, but that is one goal for 2008 --- to set some goals --- sounds easy enough!)font>

It is good to do strategic planning on a regular basis.  I do it every month along with every Sunday evening.

Yeah 2008 kicked the crap out of it. Now we have to slow down just enough so we can enjoy the season. Happy Holidays

Susan, you have been peeking into my brain.  I can't even begin to tell you how I can relate in one little comment.  Thanks for voicing what I'm thinking.
