The Years Just Begun…and would you believe that a lot of people have already forgotten about their resolutions for the new year?? Hopefully you’ve already deliberately planned out how your going to achieve your success in 2008. If not, you better get on it. 1/12th of the year is almost gone already!

If you’re looking back on 2007 and unsure of where the year went, and your bank account isn’t where you want it to be, I can almost guarantee there were two major deficiencies: ONE, Lack of Purposeful Planning to take deliberate steps to reach your business and personal goals. TWO, following your plan in a calculated manner each & every day until you hit your goals.

Most entrepreneurs start out each year gung-ho to plan their huge successes writing out what they want and how they’re going to get it. For many, the problem is that it begins AND ENDS right there. There is no follow through. Let’s face it, we’ve all been guilty of it.

Not that you don’t have any intention of following your plan - most start out strong, and stay really focused…at first. By the 3rd or 4th week of January your focus has waned a little bit & by mid-February you may have even forgotten where you even put your plan that you spent so much time writing out. Why does this happen to us?

Its’ really quite simple.

First, our plan may be realistic, however it’s not deliberate. What I mean by this is we haven’t taken the extra time to break down each step into the smaller steps that we must focus on each month, week, day & even minute in order to achieve our goals.

Take a look at last year’s plan (if you can find it). When you wrote it out, did you start by saying, “I want to make $240,000 this year. That’s $20,000 per month, $5,000 per week. I need to sell “x” number of widgets per month, & I’ll hit my goal”? Or, did you look at what you wanted to make for the year, break it down into smaller increments & then take the time to plan out every single action and marketing step you would need to take each & every day, each & every week for the entire year?

Take a look at it and compare to your end results for 2007, and in a couple of days, I’ll post part 2 of this article and I’ll outline 4 Simple Steps for Maximum Success in 2008.

Until next time,
