Resolutions for Year 1 of the New Millennium
by Gary Lockwood
As you launch into this very special new year, consider these
resolutions. Taking action on any of these could transform your
enterprise and your life.
> Resolve to get wired
Businesses of all shapes and sizes are flocking to the Internet,
the fastest-growing communications medium in history. Use of
the Internet and the World Wide Web can be a cost-effective addition
to your arsenal of competitive weapons. Don't wait. Resolve to get
your enterprise in some form of ecommerce this year. Companies
worldwide are finding out you can reduce marketing costs,
increase revenues and improve service using the Internet.
The world is moving fast. Plug into it today.
> Resolve to expand your comfort zone
Each of us has our own personal comfort zone. Some would call
it "a rut". Staying in your comfort zone can be very limiting. The
world passes us by as we stagnate. If we are not learning, trying
new things and growing, our jobs and businesses may be
deteriorating. Make a list of 50 things that, if you really were
successful in doing them, you would be a better person or a
better company.
Examples: give a speech (oh no!), write and publish an article,
start an exercise program, meditate daily, teach a class, feed a
homeless person, volunteer, climb a mountain, learn to play a
new musical instrument, sign up for a dance class, try for that
promotion, and so on.
Then, from your list, choose one or two that you are willing to do
within the next 90 days. Schedule those one or two new activities,
then go for it. Afterward, choose one or two more and do it again.
Make personal and professional growth a lifelong habit.
> Resolve to get better clients
Most businesses take on any client who steps up with the money.
Consider the cost to you for dealing with the people you serve.
Have you ever noticed that some people make you feel good just
to be around them? These are the people who give you energy
when they are near you. On the other hand, there are probably
others you can think of who drain all the life out of you. Which
clients would you rather have? You can surround yourself with
people who are pleasant, easy to deal with, interesting and, oh
yes, profitable. Get better clients. You deserve it.
> Resolve to get organized
Too much going on?.... Not enough time?.... Sound familiar?
How would you like to have more time for what YOU want to do?
Resolve this year to plan your days, reduce interruptions, clean
off your desk, say "No", make lists. The benefits of getting more
organized include being more effective at your work, having more
positive control of your workstyle, saving time and money, improving
your professional image with clients, bosses, etc. and taking control
of
the stress.
> Resolve to be a rainmaker
I've seen many people who sat around waiting for rain. They would
wait by the phone, hoping a prospective client would call or come
to the business. Others, including some of the most successful,
took positive action to "make it rain". These are the ones who made
calls, ran ads, got out of the office to make their own contacts.
Through their activity, these business professionals created oppor-
tunities for new business. More clients, more revenue, better client
relationships and happier employees are just a few of the advantages
you'll realize when you take business-building action for your
enterprise.
> Resolve to clean up loose ends
We all have messes in our lives. Messes are incomplete tasks,
disorder, disarray, or conflicts that distract you and cause you to
lose energy, break your concentration and reduce self-esteem.
Messes can include cluttered desks, relationships gone awry,
physical well-being, finances, incomplete agreements and legal
issues. Every time you eliminate a loose end, you boost your
confidence, increase concentration, and feel a surge in energy.
For the year 2000, target a mess a month.
> Resolve to focus on your strengths
Conventional wisdom says we should work on improving our
weaknesses. What a terrible waste of time, talent and opportunity!
Highly successful entrepreneurs, as well as top scientists, artists,
athletes and entertainers throughout history have achieved great-
ness by focusing on their areas of strength. Everybody has a natural
aptitude in some areas. No matter how hard you try, it is unlikely
you will ever be more than average in areas where you do not have
an aptitude.
Working on your weaknesses undermines your self-esteem since
you will focus mostly on your deficiencies. Developing your natural
talents is rewarding and motivating, allowing you to continually
realize higher levels of ability, achievement and success. This
year, experience the immense satisfaction that comes with being
superb at something.
> Resolve to take more free time
Free time isn't a reward for working hard; it's necessary for optimum
performance and productivity. We need free time, away from the
business, to rejuvenate ourselves. When you are aggressive about
getting rest and relaxation, regularly and frequently, you'll see
increased creativity and productivity. The more free time you take,
the more creativity and productivity you will experience. To make
breakthroughs in income, productivity and creativity, significantly
increase the amount of free time away from your business.
> Resolve to develop stronger business relationships
Your economic future is dependent on other people's future. Your
success in your enterprise is based on the extent that you help
other people to succeed in their lives. Ask every person you
encounter what he or she wants to have accomplished three years
from now. Focus on finding ways to help others in achieving their
goals. By adding value to their preferred future, you not only deepen
your relationship; you also create huge opportunities for yourself.
> Resolve to get in better shape
Take a hike. Or a jog, swim, or bike ride. With few exceptions, those
who are consistently successful have lots of energy. They have the
stamina and the energy to be creative, tirelessly serve their clients,
put in the extra effort when necessary and go the extra mile for
their employees. The bottom line is that regular, strenuous exercise
is good for business, because it's good for you. You can increase
your well-being, jump-start your days, boost your confidence, turbo-
charge your creativity, and knock down stress by exercising
consistently.
And that's not all. Think of exercise as a gift to yourself and to
your loved ones. A gift of longer life, more energy, happier
disposition, increased creativity and reduced pain.
Start by exercising your free will. Commit to any of these ten
resolutions and make this a great 2001!

morning.
Dennis the Menace

stop thinking and go in.

THE FUNNIES
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Stop by our website every day to see the Business Cartoon
of the Day by Ted Goff. http://www.bizsuccess.com/cartoon.htm
------------
Ring Boy
---------
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down
the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.
While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and
roar.
So it went:
step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.
As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears, from laughing so
hard, by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however,
was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and
was also near tears, by the time he reached the pulpit.
When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was
being the Ring Bear."
Daffy Definitions
---------
Twenty Something -- The cost of a sitter for Saturday night.
Fancy Restaurant -- One that serves cold soup on purpose.
College -- The four year period when parents are permitted
access to their telephone at home.
Hors D'oeuvres -- A sandwich cut into 20 pieces.
Kissing -- A means of getting two people so close together
that
they can't see anything wrong with each other.
Emergency Numbers -- Police station, Fire Department and
Fast Food Places that deliver.
