Make the most of opportunities in 2009

With the memory of Christmas starting to fade and New Year’s muted celebrations well and truly behind us – how are you doing with your new Years resolutions?

According to a survey for Franklin-Covey, the top NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2008 were:

   1. Get out of debt or save money

   2. Lose weight

   3. Develop a healthy habit (e.g., exercise or healthy eating)

   4. Get organised

   5. Develop a new skill or talent (such as playing a musical instrument)

   6. Spend more time with family and friends

   7. Other

   8. Work less, play more

   9. Break an unhealthy habit (e.g., smoking, alcohol, overeating)

   10. Change employment

The survey also found that 35 percent of respondents break their New Year’s resolutions by the end of January and only 23 percent of those surveyed don’t ever break them. Nearly 40 percent of those surveyed attribute breaking their resolutions to having too many other things to do, while 33 percent say they are not committed to the resolutions they set.

In fact, in my opinion, for many people, just a few days into the New Year will find that their resolutions will have already start to run out of steam. 

Goal setting is just one of the may areas that I cover in my marketing seminars – call or e-mail to find out more.
