Mixing Business & Pleasure In Your New Years Resolutions

Every year it is good to make a few New Years Resolutions. I personally make a few New Years Resolutions and also write down actual targets for other things.

A lot of people say New Years Resolutions don’t work. But I think they are good and worthwhile, but only for certain things.

Splitting New Years Resultions And Actual Targets For 2009

• You don’t need to write down new Years Resolutions, just begin them and try to stick to them
• You DO need to write down actual targets. Create a document on your PC with your targets and then you can refer to it when you need to
• New Years Resolutions should be things like “go for a jog once a week”
• Actual Targets should be things like “earn £75 in bank interest over the next year”
• New Years Resolutions are more about getting into habits and improving yourself
• Actual Targets are more about achieving things

It is good to mix business and pleasure in your hopes for next year. When you run your own business it is very much part of your whole life, unlike just going to work for someone else where your business and personal life can have a very definite separation.
