The essential question is what are the top 10 resolutions that are made and do we stick to them?
Maybe one of the important New Year's resolutions is weight loss; many people tend to gain a lot of weight over the Christmas period with vast amounts of dinners, buffets and parties, and then feel the need to drop a few pounds in time for the summer weather where they will be reducing the amount of clothes they wear for beach holidays.
In at second is the resolution where people decide they want to quit smoking, they want to start a brand new year free from health problems and chest problems however the bulk of people that decice to do this don't even last longer than the end of the month and soon return to the habit.
Another of the top resolutions that people tend to chose is to spend more time with family and friends, whether it's joining in more with family activities and events or simply going round for a cup of tea when you have some spare time. Out of the top 3 this is the one that has a more thriving rate and people are more likely to stick to this resolution. Other resolutions contain getting out of debt, learning something new, stopping the consumption of alcoholic drinks, helping others and being organised in their daily schedule.
New Year's resolutions is a part of tradition in most families at the start of each New Year but unfortunately at least three quarters of us don't stick to them and even more of those that don't stick to them end up loosing will power before the end of the first month.
The key word here is "new", because you want to create "new" results. You must analyze the last 6 months that has passed in the year 2006, which means do not think "re-run/replay" instead think about forging forward into the remaining 6 months of the Year.
In order to create "New Year" results, you must decide to analyze, develop and implement new action steps.
Invest about 60 minutes of uninterrupted time analyzing the last 6 months of your life. Examine exactly what you did over the last 165 plus days of the year 2006 to create the results that you have now. (Be Truthful)
*Don't worry about these results and don't complain about them either*
Simply analyze them and understand that you are exactly where you are today because of your actions over the past year. (Take responsibility.)
That's right, your actions created your results to date in 2006. Your actions turned into personal decisions that produced the results that your are experiencing.
Now, are you satisfied with your results in 2006?
If not, then how do you turn your New Year's resolutions into results?
*You must decide today to implement *NEW* action steps*
- - Revelation - -
*New actions steps will create new decisions that will finally turn resolutions into New Results*! (re-read 10 times-it is worth millions to you)
Analyze what you did every day to develop these new action steps.
Look at your business...
How large is your business?
Have you prospected enough?
Have you attended enough seminars?
Have you invested enough money into personal development?
Have you taken advantage of all that's available for you to produce the results that you desire?
If you are not happy with your results from 2006, then just imagine where you will be at the end of 2006 if you continue to take the same actions and make the same decisions.
It doesn't matter what kind of resolutions you make if you don't develop NEW daily action steps.
I challenge you to forget about those New Year's Resolutions; instead, analyze the last 6 month's results then develop and implement *New Daily Actions that will lead to *New Decisions and produce New Results* for the remaining 6 months of the year 2006 (Your New Year).
