“The circumstances you complain about are, by their very nature, situations you can change — but you have chose not to.” – Jack Canfield (from his book The Success Principles)

Towards the end of every year, everyone is keen on making New Year’s Resolutions. But how many of us were able to stick to the resolutions. Not many; the reason is, most of the resolutions and goals that are set are not always realistic. And when you fail, there is a sense of depression and frustration. This is applicable to business owners also. If you want to increase your annual profit by 10%, you need to have a viable long-term plan that can be broken down into monthly or quarterly plans. January is a good time to re-evaluate and take stock of your business successes and failures of the previous year. Once you have evaluated your plan, make monthly resolutions instead of a list of New Year’s resolutions.
