It is almost over for 2011 and I have to admit that it was great year. It is tough to say that 2011 was better than I expected, but it really was. I won’t bore you with all of the details but feel free to email me and I will share with you the highlights.
The popular conversation around the office, newspapers and TV seems to be “what is your New Year’s Resolution“. I really do like this topic because it gets me thinking about what I can do better or differently. Maybe even do less of something and more of something else or a little less of that and a tad more of this. HOWEVER I got to thinking about how awesome I am at everything I do and decided I will make a list of things that I already do so well. I want to share with others or just tell you what I am going to do in 2012 to be that much more awesome………………………..
1. I am going to continue to write this blog and hope that people figure out when I am being funny
2. Keep getting people fired up because they were personally offended by what I wrote
3. I am going to let one friend of mine start beating me at golf because it is that pathetic at this point.
4. I am going to keep working harder than the competition to make our business bigger and better.
5. I am going to separate business from personal and realize that they are not the same.
7. I am going to accept people for who they are and let them know that is why I like them.
8. I am not going to sky dive, I am to important to the civilized world.
9. I am going to enjoy life more – and maybe even take a whole week off of work for the first time in 10 years
10. I am going to enjoy having one of my best friends and his family in Charlotte
11. I am going to teach my team how to recruit, source and make intelligent placements
12. I am going to realize that people are looking to me for answers and give them
13. I am going to dance with the devil in the pale moon light
14. I am going to marry the 2nd girl that asks me (timing is everything)
17. I am going to draft Wes Walker next year
18. I am going to try and stop making fun of realtors
19. I am going to branch out
20. I am going to use the term “knuckleheads” more
21. I am going to eat more beef jerky instead of throwing it at Stella
22. I am going to laugh more
23. I am going to start telling people I am bi-polar because it is gaining more popularity
24. I am going to try and wipe that smug look of my face
25. I am going to see emotional unavailability in others as a formidable challenge for go getter types like me
26. I am going to pretend I am not bored by you
So what are you going to do in 2012? Feel free to add your own.
Happy New Year and thanks for reading and participating.
