New Year, New Opportunies

January is more than simply 'New Year, New You' in the first week!

In fact, it's a great month to spend valuable time looking at what you want to achieve over the next 12 months.

Clients I work with tend to break dreams and aspirations for the year down into their vital components - namely the important areas they want to improve upon during 2011, which can include:

• Personal
• Health
• Relationship(s)
• Family
• Business
• Career
• Money
• Leisure
• Personal Development

The above is a general list. If you're doing this exercise for yourself, yours may be similar, or include other topics or areas important to you.

The next step is to get all your ideas down on paper, and as US property tycoon Donald Trump once said, 'if you're going to dream, you may as well dream big'. Think of this New Year exercise as like designing a new menu for a restaurant - get all your ideas down first, and then you'll have lots of ideas from which to chose the best from.

The first step is however, to recognise you have opportunities, hence the above exercise.
