8 Steps You Can Take Today to Make Changes in 2003

8 Steps You Can Take Today to Make Changes in 2003

by Laurie Meade

----"As a new year begins, we start reflecting on the past and
decide we are going to change. We want to accomplish something. A
new year could spark a new beginning; however, it gives most of us
time to make excuses for quitting.

Some of us might last until March, some of us don't last more than a
few weeks. :o)

In my online marketing business, I feel the following 8 areas are a
great place to focus on change for the new year.

I don't want to call them New Year's resolutions, that makes it easy
to give up on them. I would rather call them,

"My Checklist to Improvement and Change"

By renaming my goals, I can put them in a different perspective in
my mind. A checklist is something you will want to refer back to on
a daily basis.

A failed New Year's resolution is something you don't even want to
admit you made. This is especially true if you aren't successful
with it.

----Turn off the TV!

----Keep an "action file."

----Organize three things every day

----Set yourself up on a schedule

----Take time to enjoy yourself and your family.

----Invest in a family planner.

----Save money.

----Write a journal, do it daily.

Of course there are the more common New Year's Resolutions like:

-- Exercise more.
-- Eat healthier food.
-- Lose weight.
-- Quit smoking.

I plan to stay focused on the 8 above. Of course if I can manage to
add a few of these bottom ones that would be great.

I have already accomplished the quit smoking! (I never started in
the first place :o)

Success starts with developing a clear strategy. If you're serious
about making some changes in your life, focus on what's important to
you and develop a plan for reaching your goals.
