Sugar Honey Iced Tea on Resolutions!

Let's set SMART goals to make 2010 our best year. Making Resolutions each year often means that it is okay to forget them so forget about it this year! This year, set effective goals and make them Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Your goals need to be relevant to your journey in life as well as those who depend on you. Sometimes our goals are about adopting new improved habits and changing our thoughts and our talk - I can't leave out changing our walk or where we walk.

I recently spoke with a guy who was laid off for 11 months. Why do we call it laid off? He was starting a business but was stuck in laid-off mentality, still searching for a job but sometimes saying that he was starting a business. How would you feel if your car was stuck in start-up? You sure would not get far.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you a fantastic year. I would like to share a short term as well as a long term goal with you.

Short Term - I will provide training for Tax Preparers who currently have no certifications or licenses by December 10, 2010 because I am so glad that the IRS and State of Maryland are currently making an effort to regulate income tax professionals. I am already licensed by the Department of Treasury as a workshop sponsor.

Long Term (more than one year) - I will publish my second book by January 15, 2011.

I have now put the above goals out there so a lot of steps go with them. What are your goals for 2010? Be honest about what you want and what you can and will do. Also I invite you to join me on January 16th to set and share your 2010 goals at my annual open house. Please register at www.TaxDivashouse.eventbrite.com.
