Happy New Year to you! A New Year, a new beginning.....or is it? Do you have a strange feeling of déjà vu as the New Year begins to unfold in front of you?

I was surprised at myself when in the last week of 2009 a friend asked; “What are your plans for 2010?” - A simple straightforward question yet one which I realised I couldn’t answer. This made me very uncomfortable, the New Year was approaching and I had not even thought about what I wanted to do, how, when etc for once I did not have a plan.

The reason I was so surprised is that I know without a goal or a plan one cannot be successful or succeed in achieving anything.

Think about 2009:

    - Was it a good year for you?

- Did you achieve your goals?  

  What about 2010?

- Have you set new goals for the significant areas in your life?

- Where are you now in these areas a 9/10 or 3/10?

- Would you like to see things change for the better?

This is where coaching could help you to determine your goals and begin your journey towards achieving them.

 If you're like most people, you've probably flirted around with New Year's resolutions: You've said, "THIS is the year I'm going to lose weight and get in shape or starting January 1st, no more smoking. I'm joining the health club and I'm going to work out daily. I may even do my first marathon."

What happens? By February 1st (the latest ...) you're back on the junk food regime, you've been to the club a total of five times (you're "just too busy to get there"), and you've filed that marathon application in the bin concluding, "Resolutions don't work for me."
