Did you achieve your goals for 2009

Well, did you?

I've really enjoyed the last couple of weeks. I decided to slow things down quite early this year because I wanted plenty of time to reflect on the past year and plan my business strategy for 2009.

On reflection I was amazed just how much I had in fact achieved whether on a personal level (to run 10 miles non stop in The Great South Race) or in my business, (rebranding and relaunching my company, doubling my client base , running my first set of teleclasses.....)

One of the reasons I achieved so much was because of my commitment to life long learning, OK I admit it I am a serial life long learner, nothing to be ashamed of. During 2008 I have attended various seminars, workshops, training courses and read endless books and I don't plan to stop now I have come so far.

One of my mentors recently said, "The day you stop learning is the day you stop earning." so true.

So with the New Year just over a week away, what commitment are you going to make to your continuous learning in 2009?

See your continuous professional and personal development as an investment, and if you really struggling to come to terms over the cost of a year long mastermind programme, just start small, seek out just a couple of local events and commit to that or set yourself a goal to read some business development books.

You will be so pleased you did this time next year.
