“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.” ~Thomas Edison

17 days left. You have 17 days left in this year to fulfill your commitments to yourself for 2007. You have 17 days left to plan and prepare for 2008. How are you doing? How well did you do in 2007? What are you going to do in 2008? Have you put together a workable and exciting plan for making 2008 the best year in your life so far? There are 17 days left.

I just gave my last seminar for 2007. It was a smaller group, by design there were only 40 or so attendees, and the seminar focused on annual planning. It was a 3 hours seminar and we went over all of the basic steps in planning…planning that gives you a great chance to really make your dreams part of your everyday reality. I really enjoy giving this seminar and I think it is one of my most impactful.

I’m going to write a bit about planning over the next few days. This makes sense for me since next week will be my personal annual planning week and planning will be much on my mind. I take 40 hours every week and devote it to planning and this is perhaps the most valuable and pleasurable time I invest each and every year. If you are serious about making 2008 your best year ever, consider reading my blog entries and then planning as I suggest.

Till next time,

Jack
