Your words are like welcomed time bombs
which continue to change the landscape of
my expectations and experience.

I wish you and your talented wife (love her art
glad you included a link on your blog) an
unforgettable New Year with all that’s truly
important and many an occasion of serious laughter,
fun, and enjoyment, with those you care about.

Thank you for your suggested list. Here in London, as much as in North America, we respond better to lists – to “10 ways” to succeed in something or other.

I like the list and especially to seek higher levels of understanding. When you manage a firm it is easy to think you know it all. What I want to add to MY list is to become more creative. I need:

1. New consultative products and programmes to offer.
2. New ways to attract corporate clients.
3. Specifically, a fresh way to penetrate the Dubai and Abu Dhabi market.
4. A fresh attractive, come-back look to our corporate website.

Basically, I find it hard to be creative – I’m too analytical. So, I have to rise above that and learn how to do it better.

Yours ever

Giles

This year I have changed mine to reflect a number.0-100
Each item on my list will be reflected, and what ever falls below 90 will be taken off
The reason for the number is “Core Desire” if an item is between 0-50 there is no possible way for it to be met.
The closer you get to 100, the more the mind,searches for ways of getting it done.
Thank you for all of your great info!
Happy ,Prosperous New Year

We have the same goals this year. Seems the fight against noise is an ongoing battle, no matter how successful we become. Would you agree?

True words. Very true words.

How easy it is to keep promises to others, but, the moment it’s time to exercise — I manage to find a way to justify doing something else “more important”. Aye, aye, aye. Like there’s anything more important than my health.

I also love this ” …make this year a masterpiece.” I love how you aim for excellence. Brilliant.

Keep being remarkable. I’m a F5 customer and love your work.

Warmly,
Nicole Dean

I have added for myself … to outsource more of my non essential activities.

…and a little observation about one part of your resolution…

” …continually seek higher levels of understanding.

…enjoy myself in all things. I further resolve to stop doing things I don’t enjoy. ”

Sometimes seeking higher levels of understanding comes from doing things that I do not enjoy. So I ask myself: What am I resisting? or is this truly not a good use of my time?

Heartfully, Karl

Each year, I choose an overarching one-word theme for my entire year, then work out goals, plans and actions from there. 2008 was Focus, 2009 was Influence, and 2010 will be TEAM.

I resolve to strengthen my skills in hiring, delegating (or delegate hiring, lol!), managing, leading and thinking WAY BIGGER… Though 2009 was an absolute monumental year for me, I keep feeling so many humongous ideas and grand visions bubbling up and literally the only thing that stops me from manifesting quicker is having the right team members surrounding me to implement!!

I love the concept of making this year a masterpiece!! As my friend Art Jonak just said to me, I hope 2010 is a perfect 10 for you!

Cheers,

I am so happy that you reminded me that I wanted to do this, but was putting it off – thank you! I am starting today to make my list of resolutions and goals and will complete it in the next couple of days.

Yours is a great list for me as well. On mine I’ll emphasize focus and keeping track of results, taking action and not overthinking it, do the creative things I want to despite the fear, and finally let go of feelings of hurt and negativity. This is gonna be great!

Happy Festive Season and New Yeark!
