Your Year, Your Decade?

06 January 2010 by Chris Cooper

A very HAPPY NEW YEAR and NEW DECADE to you. Here in the UK, it is a very cold and beautiful start. Below is a snowman my son and I made in our garden last night.

Snowman

It has been a memorable morning today. Debating with my parents whether they could make a 100 mile drive to my home through the snow. The reason being is that we need their help as I am taking my wife into hospital tomorrow. She will be giving birth to our child tomorrow by caesarian section. Someone needs to look after our 3.5 year old so I can make the birth! So a big New Year change for us. I am pleased to say my parents made it!

Also I spent 2 hours clearing the drive of snow today, so they could get their car up it. I enjoyed it. Sometimes a bit of manual labour or exercise is a great way to get the ideas flowing.

So what is so significant about a new year? The truth is that the success of our year will be determined by the quality of OUR THINKING and the way we PUT OUR THOUGHTS INTO ACTION.

This requires some careful PLANNING AND IMAGINING. Everything we see around us was first derived by imagination. I have had some great feedback on the exercise in Decembers' newsletter which really stretches your imagination. Several people have been sharing the positive feedback they received from forwarding it on to others. If you want it, sign up to the newsletter in the next couple of weeks. Then I will forward it to you.

I would strongly recommend taking the time out to plan your year. Think through what it is you want to achieve. Make a decision to follow it through. Make it worthy of your time. Make the most of yourself this year.

Also remember that making the most of yourself is different for each individual. A year is a short time horizon. However, what you can achieve in 10 years could be phenomenal. If you put your mind to it. Don't be put off by looking at someone who so excels at what you want to do, that it just seems pointless. Remember that person will have been through lots of trials and development to get where they are today. With a few years work they may become your peer?

This also means SETTING GOALS. Which is why on February 2nd I shall be interviewing a world record holding transatlantic rower called Kathy Tracey. For subscribers to the Be More. Achieve More newsletter, access to the call will be completely free. The call is called 'GOALS to VICTORY'.

In 2009 those people who worked with me and set ambitious goals and followed them through had some tremendous breakthroughs and successes. Having mentors to help you is an essential ingredient for success. My mentor helped me achieve more breakthroughs and successes. Find someone you respect. Make 2010 your year!

I wish you a fantastic year!

Hello Chris,

Love the snowman;) Is the new family addition a boy or a girl? I am Ivanka Bajri and I am a new entrepreneur. In the process of clarifying my ideas and goals and really going for it. You have really motivated me with the above article. What really struck a chord with me is the how you think and how you put your thinking into action. You have opened a vision for me with regards to what could be possible for this year and when I think about the next decade then I get really excited. To be honest, Up to now I have been living and planning more on a day to day basis and not seeing the big picture. I was achieving some things, but as I never looked at the longer and bigger picture I felt like these are all separate events. So, Thank you very much. May the universe bless you more and more. Visionary Ivanka

Hello Ivanka, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Firstly a little boy. He is lovely. I'm getting used to operating with less sleep again.

I am pleased this struck a chord with you. To really get motivated we need a driving force. Something bigger and more compelling than us to move forward. This is particularly essential as an entrepreneur which requires lots of energy.

If you can make the call tonight at 8pm ie 'Goals to Victory' with Kathy Tracey and I this should reinforce and expand what you have just described. The call is quite full.You can sit quietly on the line if you want too. Drop me an email to Chris@bemoreachievemore.com if it works for you and I will send you the details. It is a free gift from me!

If doesn't work there will be more opportunities.

Best wishes and may the universe bless you too (it is only when you have a vision that it knows what you want and can really help), Chris
