December has arrived – where did 2008 go?
If you haven’t done so already (and I bet you haven’t), it’s time to schedule some time to plan:

• which weeks in 2009 will be your vacation weeks?
• which days will be your days “off” work – when you don’t DO anything to do with work or money?
• which days will be dedicated to leading your team and managing your professional and personal stuff:

1. overall strategy
2. financial management
3. marketing systems
4. customer relationship management
5. operational controls
6. your support team
7. personal development

• which days will be focused on income generation?
• what will your production targets be for those days?
• which days will be allocated to entrepreneurial development?
• which days will be invested in advancing your own personal and professional skills?
• which days will be set aside to fulfill the priorities of your partner, your children, your immediate family and friends?
• which days will be gifted to charity?

It would be very easy to just “show up” again next year – and allow external influences to drive your life.
Look what happened this year – and ask yourself how much better control you would like to exercise going forwards.
At the risk of repeating myself, in 2009:

• do you have sufficient time?
• do you have a fabulous support team?
• do you have enough money?
