Will you succeed in 2010?

Well, will ya?

How about another question,

Do you have the will to succeeed in 2010?

by definition, Webster's style;

will 1. wish; desire 2. strong purpose 3. power of choice 4. attitude

Let me make a very strong suggestion to start off with;

Forgive yourself for everything that you have done in the past!

Forgive yourself for what didn't work, for that which you didn't try, for the mistakes that you may have made, everything.

Forgive yourself; clean slate, go forward!

So where do you start?

According to Chris Gardner, the author of "The Pursuit of Happyness,"

"Start Where You Are"

That's his new book, and quite frankly where else can you start from? If you have any familarity with his story you know that he got knocked on his butt, got up, and did quite well for himself. For most of us we're not starting off quite that bad, but some may be. Just remember, anything's possible if you have the will to succeeed.

Do you have clearly defined written goals?

Despite the fact that over and over again studies tell us that the most successful business people have "clearly defined written goals," most of us ignore this. Why? Why? Why? I don't know. Is it we don't want to be held accountable? Writing things down seems to do this.

The Power of Choice!

You will choose to succeed, or not. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it. Make each and every choice wisely.

Finally, determine what success means to YOU, not what it means to someone else. How can you achieve it, if you haven't defined it.
