A lot of people have been asking me about the new law (SB 1613) that requires drivers to use a hands-free device when using a cell phone in their vehicle . Most people thought the law was starting on New Year’s Day… but it actually starts on July 1st, 2008.

What’s missing in your life? If it’s a sense of belonging, friendship, “giving back” to society or community camaraderie, we have the place for you – your community’s HEROES (“Hometown Efforts to Rescue Our Endangered Society”). Simply put it’s neighbors helping less fortunate neighbors. The group’s main goal is to target MM community persons and organizations, which need physical/fix-it-up support, through a collaborative team comprised of local organizations, businesses and individuals – all to improve our collective community environment and spirit…. through one person/location at a time… The main objectives are: (1) what’s doable with a small team in 4 hours on a Saturday, (2) set priorities: safety, health, convenience, and (3) while most efforts are geared towards cleaning up, we will consider minor: electrical, plumbing, & structural repairs (simple items) in the house & yard.

So, here we are. The holidays have come and vanished, along with your waist line (even though last year you *promised* yourself that you would never eat that much again - ever.) Ah, 2008 - you’ve planned for it to be a good year. You have lofty goals - your resolutions are really good this year! (Not like last year - this year is *different*).

A lot of people create excitement around ideas, but then those lofty goals more often than not, fall to the wayside. Why is this? To begin with, let’s look at the excuses we use to justify why our goals fail. Notice, that I did not say “the reasons” why our goals fail - I chose those words carefully.

- I don’t have time / I’m too busy
- I don’t have enough money
- It’s (insert someone else’s name)’s fault
- It’s too hard / harder than I expected
- I’ll do it later
- I don’t know how
- It’s just not “the right time”
- First, I have to

These are not reasons - they are the excuses, or stories that we tell ourselves so that we don’t have to face the reality that we failed, were out of integrity, or were lazy in the commitments we made to ourselves or our business.

Let’s talk about setting goals Continue Reading
