The arrival of the new year causes everyone to look at where they’ve been and where they are going. They review their failures and celebrate their successes.

Have you thought about the changes and choices you need to make in 2011?

For some people, that may mean they quit smoking or lose weight or start exercising. For business owners, it may mean you will increase your revenue or get more clients.

Think about the changes you want to make in your life and in your business in 2011. Are they the same changes you wanted to make at the beginning of 2010?

My biggest goal this year is to make better use of my time. Time in my business will be divided into the following segments:

70% - Marketing.
20% - Development of new products and services.
10% - Delivery of my services.

Those are not hard and fast numbers but that is my intention.

My challenge for you is to block out a few hours this week and do three things:

1. Create a plan for how you will spend your time and start planning your week in advance.

2. Take full inventory of your life. Find what is standing in the way of you living life to the fullest. Write these things down and decide what you have to remove from your life to create a better life.

3. Take full inventory of your business. Find what is keeping you from achieving the success you know you deserve. Write these things down and start taking steps to eliminate or change anything that is holding you back in your business. Decide what you need to let go of to move foward in your business.

It really is that simple. It may not be easy, but it is that simple.

You have the opportunity moment by moment to make different choices. You have the opportunity today to make the changes that will create a better 2011. Go forward with the full intention of making things happen. Happy New Year!

To Your Success,
