Reviewing 2008 and Setting Goals for 2009

Hi Friend

Happy New Year! For me this a year of real hope ... all lessons from history have taught me that fortunes can be best made during times of economic challenge, so roll on 2009!

In this edition I start by looking at the lessons of Houdini the escape dog and how they apply to goal setting and planning. We then look at how supporting your employees personal goals is a great business strategy.

Our business of the week is what my kids so nicely call "Mummy's Toys-R-Us" or Bunnings to use its correct name.

THIS WEEK

Reviewing 2008 and Setting Goals for 2009

How did your goals for 2008 go? Have you set new goals for 2009? In this personal look at the year that was, I look at the lessons I have learnt from our hairy Houdini and how these apply to business goals. I share what worked and didn't work from my goals in 2008 and what I am planning for 2009.
