Have you created a New Years Resolution or a New Years Commitment?  I like mine to be always on an upbeat note. I think if you decide to stop complaining or procrastinating in the coming year, then just by being a negative statement it may set you up for failure. Instead, why not try making your resolutions more rewarding and positive in nature?  

For business owners it could be a specific reward you give yourself, after you complete a given task.

For instance; you commit to cold calling 5 suspected, clients or customers and when you have completed this task, you will reward yourself with a day trip to one of your favorite places.  Or, you could say every time I update my to-do-list I will add a task that will bring pleasure, something fun or  relaxing.

There are zillions of possibilities you could add to your New Years Commitment. It’s like paying yourself to stay focused on the sometimes monotonous tasks that are making your business grow and prosper.
