Thought for the week – 12 – Anyone for resolutions?
It’s that time of year again
Hi and welcome back from the festive break!
Is this a great time for you when you can look back with a warm glow at your achievements during 2006? Or are you fed up that, yet again, “things” have conspired to prevent you from reaching your full potential this year?
Does the idea of making resolutions for the coming year fill you with eager anticipation or do you think “here we go again” and believe it’s just a waste of time?
I believe that for resolutions, goals, aims (call them what you will) to have a hope in the proverbial of actually coming about, they have to have a really strong feel good factor.
So anything that goes along the lines of
Is almost doomed to fail from the outset because it reeks of deprivation and self denial! So how can we get round this and still achieve the desired results?
The first might be to actually make your resolutions any time but from the 24 hour period following midnight on 31st December: Make them at a time that is right for you, not when you’re expected to. As for how to phrase them positively, answers on your virtual postcard (comments) please…
Hey – I’m providing the thoughts let’s have some of your input!

“There’s a beauty when it’s Christmas,
All the world is different then;
There’s no place for petty hatred
In the hearts and minds of men.
That is why my heart is happy
And my mind can hold a dream,
For I keep a part of Christmas
With its peace and joy supreme”

Wherever you are, whatever your faith, it’s a nice thought to hold in amongst all the commerce, partying (and subsequent hangovers!) at this time of year. And, without being a party pooper it’s worth also starting to think about what you want to happen next year – more on that next time.
Meanwhile all the best

Fact Find Yor Way To Success
Are you sitting on a gold mine of untapped information?
Do you need to know what your customers really think of the products or services you provide?
Would you like to explore the potential of a new or previously failed market?
We’ve made Fact Find Your Way To Success, a session of the full Selling For Business course, available as a stand alone course for those of you who are quite happy with your sales and marketing skills but want to carry out prospect or customer research and aren’t sure how to best go about it.
If “Fact Find Your Way To Success” were delivered in the traditional way in a classroom with a trainer, it would be a jam packed, full-to-bursting, one-day course. In all likelihood delegates would not have a clue what questions they needed to ask the trainer until they had gone away and tried to implement their learning in their business.
Our way is to provide it to you as a downloadable executable file. You can read through the entire course at your own pace and place then use the Discussion Document that accompanies the course to clarify the aims of any research you intend to undertake.
Submit the Discussion Document to us and claim your telephone consultation. We’ll email you with a choice of days and times to contact us, and you’re up and running! And we’re with you, providing email support for a whole month.
What are you waiting for? You’ll find all the information you need to get started at our sister site Selling For Business
Start learning now how you can implement fact-finding to grow your business!
