We are now about 3 weeks into the new year. How many of you are still going strong with your 2012 business resolutions? *smile* That's what I thought...

It is a fallacy for people to think that a few resolutions right at the beginning of a new year is going to help their business magically get better. It doesn't quite work like that. It takes discipline. And it takes work, hard work, and then some more hard work. I know that may not sound very motivational, but it's the truth. 

If you are struggling to maintain your new goals for the year all is not lost. Just get up from where you are and start over or keep going. We still have a long ways to go for you to have a super successful year.

I wrote an article for Rod Kirby's Success Center that he published last month. Here's a short excerpt that will help to spark you no matter how well (or not) you're doing so far...

"Here are 12 B.I.G. ideas to propel you to have a significant championship season personally and professionally in 2012:

1. Write a life championship speech – your eulogy – as if you were going to die 50 years from now. Then write what would you need to start doing in 2012 to eventually live up to your future legacy.
2. Choose a daily reading plan to read through the entire Bible. This is your spiritual playbook. If you have already done this previously, choose a different version of the Bible than you normally read.
   
3. Pray constantly for your customers, competitors, strategic partners, and employees. The Holy Spirit is your competitive advantage, so ask God for the specific wisdom for how to most effectively deal with each of these groups. Also ask Him for divine alliances.
