Hi there,

It's been a while since my last post. Christmas and New Year came up, and I had a couple of days off!

Now it's right back into the swing of things, and first on the to-do list was update my e-book;

That has been done! Edition 2, with more material and less typos (...) is available very soon. I am working on the cover still, but that should be done by the end of this week! I'll keep you posted.

Keep those New Year's Resolutions up, will you? If you are not able to, but do desire to change, you may want to give me a buzz and book in for a free phone or face-to-face session!

Talk to you soon,
Marc

Hooray for the New Year

Hi all,

it's been a while since my last post. You can find more posts (and sometimes some double-ups.....) on http://www.landmarc.info, which was and is my main site, so you don't have to miss out on the latest info.

Donna Steinhorn, a well respected coach in the United States, sent me an email with her newsletter, and some of the content is worth publishing in my blog. Saves me a lot of writing; I totally agree with her words! Here it comes.


Are You Ready to Get What you want in 2007?

What did you accomplish this year? If you take the time to review and write it down, I suspect you’ll be surprised at how much more you have accomplished than you think. Look back at your planner, calendar, emails and journals to help you remember it all. Don’t limit yourself to achievements. Take a look at paradigm shifts, new healthy habits you sustained, skills learned, life-changing transitions, friendships, and lives you have touched. Did you pay down your debt or better yet, increase your savings? Learn to use all the features of your PDA? Perfect your speaking skills or improve your relationship with your mother-in-law? Write it all down...the big and the small.

What did you plan to do that didn’t get done? Don’t beat yourself up over goals and accomplishments NOT achieved. It’s likely that either the goal (or dare I say resolution) or intention you decided to accomplish either was more of something you thought you should do, or it didn’t have the right systems or foundation to succeed. If there are items on your list that you want to carry over into 2007, what will you do differently to ensure your success?

What challenges or obstacles did you face in 2006? How did you handle them? What would you do differently? What kind of support would have made a difference?

What opportunities did you have that you took? That you didn’t take? How will you ensure that you remain open to opportunities that come your way in 2007?

Last but certainly not least, what goals and intentions do you have for the coming year? But rather than just list these, also list the first five action items you’ll need to take for each of them. Is this the year you start your own business? Change jobs? Get married or improve your relationship? Maybe you want to upgrade your technology, get a Masters Degree, declutter your home or learn Spanish. Whatever the items on your list, if you don’t know the first steps towards accompishing your goals, the chances of success are diminished. Make sure that you have some fun goals on your list as well. You know what they say about all work and no play!

Go on, make something of 2007, instead of 2007 making something of you. Get the New Year's Resolution working, instead of giving it up three weeks into January.

Talk to you soon!
Marc
