Are you in the 8%

Research indicates that 92% of New Year's resolutions are broken, most are forgotten before Groundhog Day. What is the difference between the 8% that people keep and the 92% that fall by the wayside? Psychologists believe the difference lies in the thought that goes into the decision to make a change. Most people just blurt out something like "I'm going to lose 100 pounds this year" or "I am going to double my sales." Resolution "survivors" are well considered. A person making a solid resolution can answer these questions: "Why do I want to make this change?", "What steps do I need to take and in what order?" and "When will this be completed?" Lasting resolutions are usually written down and shared with others. By determining the specific changes you wish to make in your behavior and formulating a plan to make them significantly increases your chances of success. Typically the next few weeks tend to be slow. Use this time to plan your resolutions for 2011. Your best year ever starts with good goals.

Keep Smiling, Keep Selling!
