Let’s Move Forward: Change Works Better than Chance!

I have never been one for making New Year’s resolutions but this year I decided to make a few—in business and in my personal life. Have you made any?

Research suggests making only a few because 80% of resolutions will fail by Valentine’s Day. So, I decided to have small goals and only a handful of them.

First, my business life and The Forwarder’s List:

1.   Clean up my office.
2.   Get more organized.
3.   Learn something helpful and new.
4.   Join another business organization or networking group.
5.   Give back to the community.
6.   Read more.

Next, my personal life, and it is fairly straightforward:

1.   Drink less in spite of COVID!
2.   Be on time.
3.   Spend less time on the phone at home.
4.   Spend less time on all electronic devices.
5.   Improve my listening skills.
6.   Read more.

There is uncertainty about what 2021 will bring with the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t strive to do better and to be in a better place—at work and at home. I don’t know how the past will affect my future and yours but here’s hoping for the best…for all of us!
