One of the best things about a new year is all the posts, articles TV spots on how to improve yourself. Whether it’s losing weight, getting a new job, making the most of your life your family, your house, your finances – it’s endless. I admit, I always feel a little pressure to jump on the bandwagon and grab hold of one of the many self-improvement books tackling a topic that hits home and start motivating myself and those around me to make a change or improve something.
It’s who we are. We all look to the New Year as a fresh start and a clean slate to “get it right this time.”
I subscribe to Chris Brogans’ “Sunday Newsletter” via email and what I really love about these emails is he writes likes he is having a conversation with me – talking directly to me. Chris is the publisher of Owner Magazine, a digital publication catering to the business and the owner and will be one of three tremendous keynote addresses at HR Florida’s State Conference in October.
When it comes to a resolution I really like Chris’s Three Words. He’s been doing this since 2006 and I’ve seen a lot of my colleague’s state what their three words are for 2014. It seems simple, but truth be told I think it’s tough for most to wrap their minds around and give focus to every day.
So let’s make a pact – three words. What three words will be your course for 2014 and beyond?
For me, these are the words that I will focus on and work towards making them part of my every day work.
Create – Share – Engage
Happy New Year!
