Resolution vs. Constitution

04 Wednesday Dec 2013

New Year's ResolutionsIt’s that time of year again. You know, when people start to make resolutions for the upcoming year. Are you making yours? The same promises you made last year and the year before that were never kept. You start out great, on fire and filled with passion but by March its back to the same old thing, the same routine and nothing changes, gets better or gets accomplished.

Why did you fail to meet your resolutions? Mainly, because you set unrealistic goals and expectations. The actions needed to keep them are far too drastic and out of alignment with your internal view of yourself.

For example, you set a resolution to lose weight but you didn’t do it in the previous year, you failed at the diets you tried, you didn’t go to the gym and now you don’t believe that you can accomplish it so you never do.

External factors say you need to change but your internal factors make you believe you will fail, don’t deserve it or that you don’t have what it takes to accomplish it.

What internal factors have kept you from accomplishing the resolutions you set last year?

In order to be successful, you have to re-wire your internal views of yourself. You must create different thinking patterns as it relates to YOU. Creating neural pathways and memories, which become your default view of yourself will assist in accomplishing those things for which you desire.

How do you do this? Instead of making a New Year’s Resolution, create your New Years’ Constitution!

Your Constitution is who you are and what you represent (or who you want to be and what you want to represent)!

My New Year’s Constitution from 2013 – I am Crystal Gunn, someone that inspires all in which I come in contact. I was created to unite and empower women globally. I will continue to represent Power, Inspiration and Determination! I am Amazing!

As you continue to speak out loud your Constitution, everyday, over and over, it starts to shift your mindset. The neural pathways and memories start to multiply. You start to become what you continue to speak.

As you do this and really start to believe in you, in your power, in your worth, you will automatically start to accomplish the very tasks you need to complete to meet your desired outcome.

Change your thoughts and beliefs about who you are and that is who you become.

Please share with me your 2014 New Year’s Constitution. We are doing a feature on this in the January 2014 edition of Amazing Women Speak Magazine and would love to include your Constitution!

Have a wonderful day!

The 12 Business Days of Christmas…

We are quickly approaching the end of another year. It is important to complete some tasks in order to be ready for the New Year. This list represents 12 things that should be done by the end of the year to get your Business New Year off to a running start.

1. Update your Bio, Resume and Media Kit – Go through and update these items with fresh information. Have someone else look it over for a second opinion. Be sure to add achievements from the past year: awards, recommendations, new major clients, milestones, etc. Make sure you have electronic copies of these items available at all times. Invest in a great publicist.

2. Photo Shoot – It’s time to show the updated you! Chances are you have changed a bite in the past year or even if you haven’t, now is a great time to get new photo’s done. Be sure to have them done professionally and have more than one look.  (The standard corporate look and something more business casual). Ladies, be sure to have your make up professionally done.

3. Revisions and New Editions – Now is a good time to make revisions to the book and bring out a new edition. Update new items that did not sale well in the past year and repackage with a different look to generate sales.

4. Update Pricing – check out the pricing for your products. Research your sales for the year. Are there some items you should decrease in price? Should you increase your price on the new items or new editions?  Be sure to research what your competition is doing and set prices accordingly.

Never under price – especially when you are providing a service. Price moderate to high because you can always give someone a discount but you can never ask for more after they know your price.

5. Update Website, Social Media and Print Media – Change out pictures, information and flash presentations. Spruce up your site with videos. Also make sure all of your social media is in sync and relaying the same message. Include a lead capture form on your site to help build your list. If you already have one, update the free give-a-way with something new.

This is also a good time to overhaul your stationary and business cards if necessary.

6. Budget – review your current year budget and finalize the budget for next year. Be sure to have an appropriate amount of funds set aside for marketing.

7. Contact/Customer Update – Be sure to make a backup copy of each.  Also, start to think about a plan of attack to double your customer list over the next year. Invest in an automatic contact system to better stay in touch with your clients/customers.

8. Email Update – Get rid of accounts that have continuously bounced back. Send out an email requesting updated information: new business, new contact information, new positions or new jobs.  Include any of your updates in the outgoing email.   Be sure to unsubscribe to anything that you are not reading. Create folders to store emails that you want to keep.

Also, be sure to update your signature line in your email account. You want to make sure that you have your name, title, contact numbers, email address and website. Be sure to include linked in, face book, twitter and blog accounts listed as links for easy access.

9. Clean Out and Backup – Go through your computer files and delete unwanted documents, consolidate folders, clear the desktop of clutter. Try to do a backup monthly to ensure that you don’t lose vital information.

10. Shred It – Scan this year’s invoices, statements, receipts, contracts etc and shred the original. For those must have originals, scan and store in one place and be sure that key people are aware of the location.  Try to do this on a monthly basis. This will save space.

11. It’s Tax Time– Gather all the information you will need to send to the accountant after the New Year. W2 and 1099 information must be mailed by January 31st so make sure you have all social security numbers and EIN’s for those individuals that received over $600 for the year.  There will be a few documents that you need to add after the New Year, but everything else will be together and the transition will be simple.

12. Create and Organize – Create new file folders and update and organize your filing system. Go into the New Year well organized and maintain the organization throughout the year.

As Always… Make it Amazing!

Faith or Fear?

If your heart’s filled with faith, then you can’t fear. ~T.I. ~Lyrics ‘No Matter What’

Fear can paralyze your every move and keep you from doing the very thing that will ensure your success. Recognize it for what it is; a sign of the exact thing that you need to do first. Fear let’s you know that you have something to accomplish in order to get to the next level. Instead of letting fear paralyze you, use it as a stepping-stone to your greatness. Let faith take over and get past the fear.

Make it amazing.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because its only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential. ~President Barack Obama
