How to Make 2009 Your Best Year Ever

September 23rd, 2009

I saw a Tweet the other day saying there was only 108 days left in the year, and asking what I wanted to commit to accomplishing in the time remaining for 2009.

Holy #%$*, Batman! How did that happen? Just yesterday we were awaiting the demise of civilization when the new century rolled in. And now we’re on the doorstep of 2010.

(Have you noticed it really is true that time speeds up the older you get? Or am I a party of one here?)

Anyhow, it seemed like a good idea to regroup before year’s end. So let me ask you – what goal do you want to accomplish between now and December 31st that will have you saying 2009 was your best year yet in business.

The easy thing would be to say, “Well, what with the economy and all, it’d be silly to expect 2009 to be my best year ever.”

But I wouldn’t be the playfully-holding-your-feet-to-the-fire coach you expect me to be if I let you get away with that kind of small thinking. Your mother and I expect great things from you – and we have absolute faith in your ability to achieve them.

Success is ALWAYS an inside job, not dependent on external forces. And like I mentioned in an email tip last week, purposeful action is the shortest distance between two successes.

So decide on your goal for the last 106 days and what action you’re committed to taking to make it happen. Then leave a comment so I can support your commitment. (That’s what coaches are for, after all.)
