How To Be Successful In 2008

The year 2008 is finally here, but what does it mean for you? It means that you have 366 days (a leap year) to make your impact on the world. Any mistakes you made in 2007 are irrelevant; so learn from them and move on.

Start thinking on a different level. Stop wasting time on small-minded thinking, and learn to think big. Do something that had you not been born, it would have never happened.

To accomplish this, here are my top 5 suggestions for 2008:

1) Be Sensible - Stop making plans that don't make sense, and learn to plan effectively and reasonably. Many entrepeneurs are not realistic in their goals, and this can bring your company down.

2) Be A Visionary - Learn how to imagine and visualize how your ideas will play out, and how they will change your life. Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

3) Avoid Useless People - Stop dealing with people who claim they can do something for you, but can't. Find the people who can actually help your business progress. Everyone else is wasting your time!

4) Stop Being Gullible - To many entrepreneurs are sucked into scams and schemes. Stop being gullible, and learn how to say "no".

5) Play To Win - Business is very competitive. Every year, thousands of businesses fold. Base all your business decisions on this. Remind yourself everyday that you do not want to lose. You want to compete successfully, until you are on top. In the words of Les Brown, "Its not over until [you] win!"
