Good Morning,
Wednesday is the first day of the new year. In fact, it is the first day of a new decade. As we approach the big day, we hear all of the promises about improvements we are all going to make starting January 1st. We are going to stop doing this or that. We are going to start doing this or that. We will treat others better and on and on the promises go.
For most of us, this lasts somewhere between a day and a week before we drift back into the same old routine. Dramatic change is difficult if not impossible for most of us. Effective change comes in small bite size chunks that can be celebrated and promoted as victories. Make resolutions that are small but cumulative. This week or this month I will accomplish this or that. Next week or month I will build on it. The following week or month continues the process.
Tell a friend you really trust and respect. Making a commitment in front of this type of person will go a long way toward improving success. We will work a lot harder to achieve a goal when we really don't want to admit to others we failed.
Have a Happy New Year, all year.
Jim
