Hello everyone,

Can you confidently say the year 2007 will be your
best year ever? Do you think you can achieve all you
desire for yourself this year? Do you believe the new
year will bring you the success you deserve?

Lots and lots of questions.

If you ask me, I'll confidently tell you that everyone can
achieve all they desire if they know what to do and how
to go about it. I've compiled a few tips that will help you
achieve all your fondest new year dreams.

1. Determine your goals for the year.

A lot of people go through life without determining what
they actually want from it. They just work hard, live by the
day and hope everything goes on fine.

That's a surefire way to fail! You have to determine what
you actually want in life and in this instance, what you want
to achieve by the time the year ends in eleven months time. I
don't know what your goals are but you have to determine it.

2. Write them down.

This will sound ridiculous to a lot of people but it actually works.
Write down your goals for the year and look at it everyday. You
can paste it on your bedroom wall, dressing mirror or what have
you. You can put it in your wallet and replace it everytime it gets
old an dirty.

3. Work towards your goal.

How you'll work towards your goal will be determined by the nature
of your goal. If your goal is to pass your examinations, you'll need
to study dilligently for it. If you want to start a business, you'll need
to learn how the kind of business you want to go into is done. Make
sure you do something everyday that leads you to your goal.

4. Don't spend your time; invest it.

"Use" your time doing things that will help you achieve your goals.
The sheer amount of time we waste doing irrelevant things is simple
outrageous.

Before you do anything, ask yourself if it will help you achieve your
goals. If it will not, do something that will. There is always a book to
read, a seminar to attend, a business to start and so on. Cut your TV
habits, sleeping habits, and other time wasting habits. Your time is
precious so use it wisely.

5. Be persisitent.

This is very important. A setback during the year should not be allowed
to derail you. Being afraid of failure is a sure way to actually fail. There
is no shame in failure. It's not being able to get up and bounce back
that is shameful. Instead of giving up, learn from your mistakes and
move on. Remember experience is the best teacher.

I strongly believe these tips will help you achieve what you want for
yourself this year. They are short but power packed. I'll be using them
as well and I hope to exchange ideas with you as the year rolls on.

Feel free to drop your comments. I'll see you next week.

I wish you all the best.
