New Year, Schmoo Year!
New Year's wishes don't make anything happen; Committed Actions do! Get real!
New Year, Schmoo Year;
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year is here next week and the back cover of the JUF News has an ad that reads 'This year will be different'. Respectfully I say, 'NO, it won't'.
I don't mean to anger anyone or be disrespectful; I am after all a convert to Judaism and am observant. But I can't let a statement like that go by without challenging the passivity of it.

NOTHING will change unless you do something about it; unless you take action. Wishing, as a matter of fact, does not make it so, and, as many of you small business owners know: just because you built it, it doesn't mean they'll come.
I encourage you to take the time to observe the period of introspection, prayer and meditation and decide what it is you REALLY want to be different in your life and then make a commitment to take on the behaviors necessary to achieve it.

Share what you're going to take on this year, tell others about it to create some accountability* and ask them what they're up to. Help create a positive environment for all, full of worthwhile actions and change, focused outward to support others, as much as focused inward, to help you become the full expression of yourself which is, by the way, the true 'meaning of it all'.

*Guided Goals Groups: For those of you who are 'up to something', a project, work or personal goal, who really want to acheive it but can't necessarily afford a one-on-one coaching relationship, I offer guided goals groups. We meet in groups of 3-7 on an every other week basis, sharing a group coaching session and creating a strategy for success. There are weekly email blasts to keep you on track and we set up 'cross coaching' so that everyone has an accountability strategy. The cost is only $100 a month with a 6-month commitment. Make sure your committed goal is worth at least double what you pay and you can't, reasonably, say 'no' to this opportunity. If you're interested, email me today. Goals can be personal or business or 'something else' -- it doesn't matter as long as they're real!
