Many of you have decided that this is the year you are going to break away. You have survived over the last couple of years when everyone was telling you that we were all on the verge of financial collapse. This year you have decided to make a difference. Can I suggest that you need to get past the “surviving” and focus on “THRIVING”!!
You have been affected in so many ways – higher costs, too much debt, unexpected emergencies, and maybe even the loss of income. Whatever it has been, it is time to thrive.
How are you going to do that? With a plan. Your plan has to be simple, yet strong enought to make you taking bigger and bigger steps to thrive.
It may start off slow, but if you work it your plan will help you thrive. It will never happen if you do not get it going and reach a little further.
Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, used to tell us to set “stretch goals”. Goals are great, but setting those that cause us to stretch a little further will challenge, motivate, and equip you to really thrive in 2011.
Are you ready to thrive? If not, what’s holding you back?
