WINNERS PREPARE TO WIN

You have only a few days until the end of the calendar year.
For most of us, that's the end of the tax year, the end of
at least some deadlines we set for our goals, and the
beginning of a new chapter in our lives. Don't blow it!
As I write almost every year, there are some purchases you
should make by December 31st. You need new supplies, new
equipment, new software or tools to make next year more
productive. And the really nice thing is that if you take
action by the 31st, the government will help pay for them!
How cool is that? Don't cheat (it never pays!) but be smart
and use the law to your advantage.
Do your bookkeeping! Are there contributions you should
make? Is there any tax-loss selling you should do to balance
your investments? Be smart about this. Take time. Take a
look. Plan wisely and act boldly.
Ask yourself smart questions. Review your performance this
year. Are there things you should change next year? Things
you should stop or re-think, or modify? Write them down!
And plan wisely. The new year brings endless opportunity. It
has enormous potential! What will you learn and do in 2012?
Who will you become in the next twelve months? What will you
achieve or create, what will you build in the coming months?
Decide thoughtfully. Not every impulse or whim deserves to
become a goal, but there are a few essential items that you
should write down, put on your calendar and commit to.
Choose well and follow-through.
And note that this is a common and powerful time to begin
working with a personal coach for the coming year. If you
are not satisfied with your results for 2011, consider a
personal coach, someone to show you the ropes and hold you
accountable for the new year! This is your time! Make sure
2012 is your best year ever!
