2010 brings high hopes for Carebuzz and WorkingCaregiver.. high hopes along with lots of work in order to fulfill the high hopes!

The past few weeks have been filled with planning, building strategy, and revising the business plan. Well, we are still working on the business plan even after 2 months! Does it ever end? I hear promises that it can end.

As for fulfilling our goals – here’s a couple of items that I use to help me achieve my dreams and wishes, and goals:

1. Write out your goals – for me it was easier (not easy) for me to write out my business plan and list out our goals for 2010

2. Try to read them every day

3. Flip Chart or White Board – The daily tasks are written there – what needs to be done everyday

4. Calendar that sits on your desk and glares at you everyday… not to irritate you but to send friendly reminders on what’s next – this can be electronic too – I need friendly reminders to stay on task

5. Get clear on what you are trying to achieve and WHY – this helps me understand the importance of my accomplishments

6. Schedule times to check email throughout the day- helps eliminate my distractions and believe me I have quite a few of them

7. Share your goals with a business buddy – this holds me accountable

8. Do one thing at a time – then you won’t feel overwhelmed – my biggest obstacle!!!

9. Be receptive to doing tasks differently – being receptive to new solutions

10. Take action on your best ideas!

Happy New Year!

Wishing the best for 2010!
