My very best wishes to you for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2007. Take some time to sit and reflect on 2006.

Where are you today compared to where you were 12 months ago and is it what you expected?

Why?

That’s a big question, “Why?”

Every year starts with a perceived clean slate. Make sure you take the time to reflect on the why of your current situation before setting the plans with which to move through 2007.

This kind of reflection isn’t the easiest thing to do. As a business owner, it means setting your ego to the side and being totally accountable for what did and didn’t happen, regardless if you physically ‘pulled the trigger’ or not. It’s your business, your call and your life. If someone else ‘pulled the trigger’ that means you handed over control.

Without this kind of reflection and understanding you run the risk of finding yourself in a very similar spot next year at this time. Do the work, look inward before looking outward. Be accountable and be BOLD. Clarify your vision – because that’s where it starts.

Happy New Year.
