What’s So New About Your New Year?

What does it take to make a New Year truly “new”? Besides the date ending with 09 instead of 08 what have you personally brought to this year that is different/ fresh/ bold/ exciting?

Why not take a quick inventory right now of the following key areas as a leader, and ask yourself this one question – “What is NEW this year?”

• New Strategies (what’s new about my strategies… for business, leadership, life)
• New Resources (like people, products, or equipment)
• New Ideas (level of thinking, creativity, possibility)
• New Convictions (shaking off limitations, negativity, poor attitudes)
• New Goals (vision, direction, values)
• New Priorities (what will I focus on, and what will I let go?)

Across the world many people brought their fears and nervousness about the state of the world’s economies into 2009… aftershocks of their experiences in 2008. I certainly don’t pretend to predict what the future holds. But I think you’d have good reason to be fearful and nervous if you weren’t being or doing anything new, while still wishing for a better outcome this time around.

On the other hand, doing something new is a natural high. It is motivating. It expands who we are and what we know. It pushes us beyond our comfort zone. In fact how much we grow and change as individuals has its roots in our willingness to embrace “the new”.

Don’t let this year be a re-run of last year. Seize the day and get passionate about pursuing new things for your life and your leadership. Take the time you need to think about your direction and get clear on priorities. Carve out the space to think bigger, to set potent goals, and to get creative around your strategies.

If it’s not really a new year for you yet, there’s no better time to change that than right now.

 

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements

Hi Paul,

This letter is to thank you for your coaching sessions that we have been having for the past few months. The time we spent together was both informative and beneficial for myself and my business. The business has grown in leaps and bounds since the sessions have started and I have only seen improvement in pretty much all areas.

Firstly, I got placed in this job when a business was losing on average $13000 a month. I have seen my business do a turnaround of about $20,000 a month in the last 4 months. We finally pulled it out of the bag and came away with profit for the first time in about 1.5 years. The store has been most improved in our area for 2 straight months and we are looking at getting it for a 3rd month. The input and advice you have given is unmeasurable. The way you got me thinking about the business as a whole and just giving a different perspective on things.

Once again to pay such a small amount and get such huge return I would happily recommend your services to anybody.

Kindest Regards,

Shane Watts-Thomas (Flight Centre, Team Leader)
