3 Tips to Start the New Year Off Right

I'm starting from the assumption that you (the reader) are interested in making your life experience in 2008 different (dare I say, better) than 2007.

I've come across some great podcasts that have been really inspirational. Check out these links...after you've read my tips, of course.

My Thought Coach, Brian Tracey Podcasts, Hypnosis w/ Michael White and the 4-hour Work Week

Tip 1: Reflect - What did you do last year? (Or...what did you avoid?)

  • I avoided going to the gym during the day because I would have to use the public shower. (That causes me unreasonable anxiety.)
  • I did not add to my property inventory because I was reluctant to take a serious look at my finances.
  • (On a positive note) I almost doubled my business production.
  • I reviewed, eliminated and created new successful marketing campaigns.
  • I enjoyed multiple wonderful vacations.
Tip 2: Brainstorm - What gave you the most enjoyment in 2007?
  • I ran my first half-marathon.
  • I was increased my flexibility. (I touched my toes for the first time in over 5 years.)
  • I read some wonderful business/educational books.
  • I automated almost all of my duties as a Realtor.
  • I took on a part-time assistant.
  • I made some new friendships.
  • I helped all my clients through their real estate transactions in a volatile market.
Tip 3: Decide - Pick some things you want to do/be/have. (Use the previous steps to get some ideas.)
  • Because it was an amazing rush - I am going to run 2 more half-marathons in 2008.
  • Because I feel a sense of accomplishment and have more energy - I am going to continue limiting my intake of fast food and microwave meals and prepare meals at home 5 days/week.
  • Because I believe in myself - I am going to increase my property holdings according to my business plan.
These are just some things that I plan to improve in this new year. I hope you make some amazing new accomplishments in 2008.

Please leave some comments on what you plan to do so we can encourage you along the way! (And, let me know what you think about the links I posted.)

Here's to a wonderful 2008!
