Did you feel all that energy at the beginning of the year? All the possibilities, the plans, perhaps some resolutions? I love that feeling because it really is one of life’s natural highs.
The yin to that yang is usually the dissection of my business numbers from the previous year. They annually send me into a funk and crush that new year energy to pulp. Not so this January. Without revealing all my biz-ness, I was much smarter last year than in any previous year of working at home. This doesn’t mean I was pulling in huge profits, but my spending was mindful, my sales were the best they’ve ever been and my prospects to expand seem very good moving forward.
My moment is realizing that I can learn from what the numbers reveal instead of wallowing in the negative. The numbers can propel me forward instead of dragging me down. The numbers can turn me into a perky cheerleader positive force for my business. That’s something to rah-rah about.

“Rah-rah” is right. That’s great! Use this positive force and push forward. I’m so happy to hear this great news!

Hooray for growth, forward momentum and an optimistic spirit! Here’s to a successful and rewarding 2011!
Oh, congrat on your great year! I need to be better at looking at my numbers but they scare me. I have all the tools but not the motivation to use them as I should. You’ve motivated me to be better about that.
