Celebrate 2007 By Doing A Year-End Review

Taking time to reflect on the past year by acknowledging your successes, uncovering obstacles, and completing as much as you can before the year ends, opens space for new intentions to actualize.
Writing your responses to these questions will support you in being your best so that you can build upon your business successes and experience greater personal happiness.

1. What successes, accomplishments, and things are you most proud of? Write them all down including the small ones too! Ask friends for some feedback to help you fill in the picture if you need some help.

2. What contributed to your success? What worked well? What didn’t? Where did you come up short? As you reflect on the year, are there any intentions left over that you no longer feel passionate or excited about? Perhaps you needed to change direction? Delete any you no longer resonate or align with. Which ones will you choose to recommit to in 2008?

3. What obstacles got in your way of fulfilling your intentions? Looking backwards, what would you do differently that would lead you to success today? What would need to change?

4. What is unfinished? What is bugging you or hanging around that is incomplete? This could be anything that still feels important or stuff that is energy-draining.

5. What was upsetting, disappointing or challenging in the past year? Every experience presents an opportunity to learn something new and offers a gift of growth regardless of the outcome. Write down the gifts of each experience. What did you learn and how has that experience helped you, personally and professionally? How can you take what you’ve learned into new experiences going forward?

6. Insights, new learning and awareness, you’ve gained about yourself in the last year? Often we learn things and forget to own them as we move forward. Writing them down helps us to remember and integrate them more deliberately into our hearts and lives.

7. What are you thankfull for? Gratitude magnetizes abundance and opens the door for good things to flow to us. What better way to tap into the Law of Attraction by putting attention on love and gratitude!

8. How will you celebrate and acknowledge your 2007 wins? What plans will you make to give yourself kudos?

9. What are your intentions for 2008? What’s your dream? Describe it in detail so it’s compelling and inviting. What are you ready to say yes to?

10. What will you need to achieve what you want in 2008? Consider what worked well for you in 2007 that you can leverage in 2008. What’s missing that you might need? What steps will you take to fill in any gaps?

Re: Significance of Review Sites - Exactly! Review sites are very helpful for providing better understanding to a product or service.
Update: Spam software - Well I still have not found a good plugin that will work with Outlook 2007. My web hosting client has an option to detect and delete spam on the server before it gets to my inbox but I am worried that it will delete some of my important emails. If anyone has had luck with Outlook 2007 and getting their spam issues solved, please post and let me know!
Re: For all Women Entrepreneurs - Hi Carol, Congratulations again for this new promotion. We "know" each other from PIPS and the PPG forum, I decided to go online on March 2007, and joined PIPS on June 2007, and I love every minute of it. I am a lab technician in a local high school, and for some unknown reason this year our school "gave birth" to 6 more full classes, which leaves me with a little time for my biz. But I work better under pressure. Good luck:)
