Did you make any New Year's resolutions this year? If so, how well have you kept your commitments?
Did you take the time to write down your goals for 2011 or did you just think about them? Only about 10% of people have written goals. And there's a direct correlation between written goals and success.
If you've kept on-track with your 2011 goals, congratulations and keep up the good work! If you are off-track, why not act like a new year is about to begin? Take the time now to write what you want to accomplish in the next year.
We often give up completely when we miss a day or two, and we fall into the 90% who "wish" life to be different. It's time to join the top 10%!
Happy New Year again!

Plan
By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars, Inc.
Plans are important. Would you build a house without blueprints? Would you retire without a financial strategy?
But why do so few people have a life plan?
It's common knowledge that only 7 percent of people have written plans for their lives. And most of those people are in the top 10 percent when it comes to financial success. Why? They planned. And they took action.
Do you have a written legacy plan? You're a unique person, so what would you like to do with your individual greatness? How will your individual greatness inspire your family and community? What will be the impact of your life 100 years after you're gone?
Plan. Act. And soon you'll realize, "Wow! I'm important!"

Chance
By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars Inc.
Have you ever noticed that a word's meaning can change, depending on how you use it?
The word "chance" is a good example. If you leave life to chance, you may miss out on many opportunities. If you don't take a chance, you'll never know if you could've succeeded. Take a chance or don't take a chance?
What really matters is knowing that your legacy will be determined by what you do.
Whether you take chances or leave your life to chance, both options require a set of actions. And that's the way you'll be remembered. Are you a "risk-taker" or a "procrastinator"? Both are a legacy.
Is it time to take action or will you wait?
