Just don’t. That’s right, don’t bother with New Year’s Resolutions. Does anyone really follow them? If you do, good on you. But for most of us we make resolutions and in a matter of weeks (or even days) they’ve evaporated into yesterday’s wishy washy memories. Like what you had for lunch last Tuesday. While cavorting […]

All good things must come to an end…and so is the case with the Post-Thanksgiving Goal Writing Project. The purpose of the project (for me and others) was to write our goals on our blogs – goals we wanted to achieve from now until the end of 2006 (which is fast approaching!) I wrote 5 […]

With inspiration and insight from Jonathan George here are 9 steps for achieving your goals: Write Your Goals Down. It’s always a good idea to put things down on […]

One of my post-Thanksgiving goals heading towards the Christmas holidays is to connect with 5 entrepreneurs in Montreal and find ways to help them. In return, I hope they’ll have ways to help me. When it comes to helping entrepreneurs (and receiving help) the spectrum of opportunity is broad. Help might include contacts, a helpful […]

Thanksgiving is over, we’re all stuffed (I have some heartburn), content and ready to roll! And now we start asking the important questions… What are your goals?
