I like to pause at this time to look over the past year and into the coming year.
As you look back over your year, ask your self these questions:
What surprised me most in my business?
How my business boomed this year. Usually, when people mention the recession word, business owners look for ways to slash spending which means outside services like bookkeeping are one of the first to go. But not this time. Business owners realized that if they were going to make it through they had better hunker down, with good data, and spend their time effectively.
What was the best thing I did?
I traveled. I took a trip to Iceland and England to attend TEDGlobal, in Oxford; I spent a week with my family on the Bras D'Or Lakes; I went to the Celebrating Communities Conference in Truro and I flew to Toronto to celebrate my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. I got clarity, new ideas, different perspectives, met amazing people and realized, you know, this is a pretty good world we live in.
What mistakes have I learned from?
Leadership has the responsibility of nurturing and supporting the people around me. This doesn't come naturally to me so I am asking for help and trying to ally with others who can fulfill that role.
Listening is important to make sure that what I am hearing is what the other person is saying. We all see the world in a different way and perceive it through our own lens. I stumbled a couple of times from not having clear communication and expectations with other people.
What is my most proud accomplishment?
That I have taken several visions to completion and that I am bringing several others along. I turned thought into a tangible. Wow.
What did I not accomplish that I hoped I would?
I had hoped I would have several people here in the office working by now. I'm hopeful that I will by early in January.
Looking back, what was the theme of my year?
Going Places
By that I mean travel as well as learning and stepping out of my comfort zone.
As you look ahead, ask yourself these questions:
Where would I like to be in a year from now? ( I don't necessarily mean geographically)
I'd like to have Crystal Clear Bookkeeping Ltd. in 2 locations with 6 staff.
I'd like the Business Owners Success Club to have 600 on-line members making clear progress on their businesses every month.
I'd like to have taken 4 trips during the year, including a cross-Canada odyssey with my family.
What big thing can I accomplish next year?
I want to take the kids across Canada by Travel Trailer. That means getting my businesses to the point where I don't have to be here. That means delivering value from where ever I am.
I've noticed that I have to focus beyond where I am so that I can overcome the fear and just deliver. I find fear rears its head and stalls projects just before completion as I begin to second guess myself and begin to worry about what other people will think. I'm hoping that by focusing on something bigger, I will be able to just deliver all that I can.
What can I get rid of to make room for better things?
I'd like to say fear, but that isn't realistic. I can say that I will get rid of the hesitation that fear brings. Seth Godin has a great video about that here.
Which of my strengths can I highlight this year?
My strengths are Futuristic, Learner, Input, Maximizer, Strategic: I work best when I'm gathering information and figuring out the best way to use it. I've gathered lots of information and now I want to focus on turning it around and putting it back out there.
What would I like the theme for this year to be?
My theme will be Deliver
This is a great exercise to inspire yourself to keep moving forward. We tend to over estimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in 10 years. By doing this exercise every year, I am finding that I am accomplishing more every year while directing my 10 year plans better.
How about you...

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt sandals[/B] more remarkable.
MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]MBT[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]buy mbt shoes[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]MBT[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt sneakers[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]MBT shoes[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes sale[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
As to the question of whether they [B]mbt shoes review[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement. If [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] you spend long periods of time on your feet then you may [U]MBT[/U] benefit from them. However, if you are someone [U]mbt sandals[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]shoe for worked[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]shoe for worked[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt sandals[/B] more remarkable.
MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt shoes review[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes review[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]footwear etc[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]mbt sandals[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
These are pretty bold claims but there is no doubt that MBT shoes are [U]MBT shoes[/U] popular both as recreation and sportswear. A study [U]footwear etc[/U] by Sheffield Hallam University recently concluded that MBT shoes were better for the knees ankles [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] than normal shoes. The study also concluded that if [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] you walk correctly you would take shorter strides while walking in MBTs. Shorter [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] strides would mean more steps and more expending of energy and this [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] would increase your calorie burn.
Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] closer look at these special shoes.
The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]MBT[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]MBT[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]MBT shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes review[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]MBT shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt walking shoes[/URL][/B] work for some people.
More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]MBT shoes[/U] on your lower joints.
Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]MBT[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]mbt shoes review[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]mbt sandals[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]mbt sandals[/U] them.
