Ways to Make 2011 Your Best Year Yet
- Be the most positive person you know.
- Take more risks.
- Do something that scares you everyday.
- Be a team builder, regardless of your title at work.
- People need motivation, accountability, and know how. Deliver it.
- Don't focus on making money - focus on creating value.
- Lead by executing and getting results. No excuses.
- Eat higher quality foods.
- Remember - no one has ever regretted a great workout.
- Be obsessed with learning.
- Be impeccable with your words - don't complain, gossip, or be negative.

- Plan as if you will live forever but live as if you'll die tomorrow.
- Say please, thank you, and I love you more.
- Give someone a massage.
- Call someone you always wanted to talk to but never thought you could.
- If you want to resolve a conflict, use the phone instead of email.

- Journal. What are you thankful for? What are your intentions for the day? Who is in need of prayer today? Where were you outstanding today?
- Clarity precedes genius. Find clarity in writing and solitude.
- Track your success.
- Slow down in order to speed up.
- Be willing to fail. It's the price of greatness.
- Spend at least 10 minutes every morning in quiet time, prayer time, or meditation time.
- Listen to inspirational music. Create your favorite play list for chilling out as well as working out.
- Listen to books on tape and podcasts.
- Do what you do best and hire the rest.
- Success takes time. Be patient, but continually invest in yourself.
- Your big ideas typically come when you are sitting on a beach or skiing in the mountains.
- Everyone in an organization should be considered a "leader."
- Always believe in your dreams, even when they seem impossible or others doubt you.
- Focus, focus, focus!
- Water people everyday - lift people up instead of tearing people down.
- Win the day!
- Be more spontaneous.
- Develop a hobby.
- The bigger the dream, the more important the team.
- Run your own race - be authentic and original.
- Turn OFF your TV!
- Eliminate excuses.
- Organize your time more effectively.
- Get your mind right!
- Do more of what you love to do.
- Action is like gas in the car. Without it, you will not go.
- Be humble...be hungry.
