Happy New Year! It’s that time again; time when our thoughts
turn to reflecting on this past year and preparing for 2017. Where did the time
go? What did we accomplish? What’s still on the “to-do” list? What’s the plan?
It’s the time of year for resolutions.

That “giving up too easily” part is what I plan to work on
this year. Instead of resolutions, I’m starting the year with a new resolve – a firmness of purpose or
intent; determination. Seems to me that’s a good approach no matter what
business you are in, what stage of life you are at; no matter your
circumstances. Easy to do? Absolutely not! In a world where we are told no more
than we are told yes, maintaining a firm resolve is a tough task. Obstacles
pop up at random to derail our quest. It’s too hard,
it costs too much, there’s no time, it’s scary. Yet, I’ve always been told that
if you want something bad enough, if it’s truly a dream, you will do what is
needed
to achieve it.
When working in teams or groups to generate ideas or find
solutions to challenges, I’ve always used the “don’t tell me what we can’t do;
tell me what we can do” approach. This year, I resolve to practice what I preach.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New
Year!
