BEST 5 STRATEGIES TO MAKE 2015 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER

"Man is not the creature of
circumstances; circumstances
are the creatures of men."
Benjamin Disraeli

How many of you are looking forward to the end of the Year? And how many of
you are excited for 2015? How many of you make New Year's resolutions to
end the year not having
achieved these goals or simply forgotten about
them?
So what can you do differently this year so that 2015 will be your best
year ever? Here are 5 strategies you can implement:
1) Be authentic, be true to your values. Your values derive from and are
determined by your conscious and unconscious voids, by what you perceive as
most missing in your life. What are your values? Remember that success is
not what you do, it is what you become.
2) Do what you do best and get other people do to what they are best at.
Therefore you need to know what your strengths are and surround yourself
with people that support you with strengths you dont necessarily have.
3) Commit to continuous learning.

4) You must believe and have 100% conviction that you will achieve what you
set your mind to
5) You must take persistent action, know what you want, notice the outcome
and change your approach if required.
One of our biggest challenges is procrastination, so how do overcome
this?
1) Ensure that what you commit to is aligned to your values. If what you
commit to is low on your value system, you are leading somebody else's
life.
