A Fresh Start

The first business day of the New Year. We’ve celebrated the coming and going of 2006, and now we have a fresh start, a blank canvas, an empty box that we call 2007.

Maybe you have a vision of what 2007 looks like both personally and for your practice. Maybe you even have some of those goals written down and put in a place you see them daily (if you don’t, do it now).

Once you have decided on your goals, the key is to, as NIKE would say “Just Do It!” Take swift, ferocious action toward attaining them.

There is no other way to achieve them.

2 things to remember about your goals.

#1: Don’t try to eat an elephant in one bite:
Break your large goals into some very bite-size chunks that are easy to attain. If your goal is to lose weight for example, maybe a sub-goal would be to get a gym membership. This makes it easier to see progress and will help to keep you on track toward your final goal.

#2: Every day is a new beginning:
You don’t have to wait until January 1st to start a new goal. Start one tomorrow, February 1st, August 27th…it doesn’t matter. Lay out your goals, and take swift and ferocious action to attaining them.

And, as NIKE would say, “JUST DO IT!”
