With the close of another year comes new resolve for the next. It’s a time to take stock of the year’s successes and failures–an oft painful time–and plans to grow and prosper in the coming year. This time is critical for those of us who are in business for ourselves. Whether you’re already self-employed, just getting started, or considering starting your own business, resolutions should be a daily occurrence, not just once a year.
We all know that New Year’s Resolutions don’t stick. By the end of January, they’re practically forgotten. You’ve heard me say before, “do one thing every day to further your career.” Similarly, if you have ONLY ONE resolution this year, make it this: Find new resolve DAILY! This is my new motivation moving forward.
With that mantra in mind, here are some of my goals. Hopefully the will inspire you or give you new ideas for 2010.
- Find new resolve every day.
- Do at least one thing each day to further my musical career.
- Find ways more opportunities to create residual, passive income.
- Significantly expand my catalog of intellectual property.
- Build more relationships with meaningful industry contacts.
- Build relationships with related services outside my specialty.
- Find new ways to increase productivity.
These are just a few of the goals that have been on the top of my list for 2010. What are your goals and resolutions for the new year? Comment and let us know.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you all!
