NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

 So, after all the fuss and business of the preparations, the big day has come and gone and as another year passes, we think how during it we lost much of the enthusiasm we had at the start, the ambitious plans and positivity. They are probably lost in the activities, deadlines, targets and meetings that we met within the days of the past year. Whenever a new beginning comes, our plans must be reviewed and maybe adapted for changes in income, health, age, family circumstance etc, but it is still a fresh start and new beginning.

Plan ambitious objectives in the New Year

Look forward to and plan for a raise in your business figure to up to 15% if you have your own business, your input into either your own business or your employment if employed by someone else. Planning to just do better is too vague, set a value on how you want to increase your measure of performance and then exceed it!!! If you are unemployed and looking for a job, then use this formula, to plan how many more jobs you will apply for.

 If you have your own business, look ahead to more clients, further development of your web site, launching new products or proposing new actions and activities. Take advantage of the end of the year evaluation and let it redefine your objectives and tell you clearly what you want and intend in the future and where you need to go and aim for.

Why not take a course?

The adult education sector has been very badly hit regarding funding , to take a degree now means either self -funding or  in England ,taking a student loan with the knowledge that if your earnings reach a certain level you then have to start paying it back, hardly an incentive to aim high ….but there are still some very worthwhile free courses available , a good reliable option being Openlearn via the Open University and Vision2learn .

Send positive vibrations

Two sad old plants, a grey desk in the middle of a sad decor … on the contrary, you will breathe easily once you have added some colour here and there, like a  painting, a plant with happy flowers or a decorative desk vase. Your working environment and a tidy desk are important whether you are working in an employed capacity or at home being self-employed.
