We are almost at the end of another year, and it's time to do some reflecting on how 2008 was for us and what we want to create in 2009.  So, in this issue, I have included the first part of a Year End Review and an announcement of a teleclass designed to give you a running start in 2009.

I wish you a happy holiday season and a happy, healthy, abundant New Year.

YEAR END REVIEW

As we approach the New Year, it's a good time to turn inward and do some reflecting on what this past year has brought and what the promise of the New Year -- 2009 -- is to be.  Here are some questions for doing some thinking (and writing) about.

1.  What are your disappointments and incompletions?

Let's go ahead and acknowledge what these items are.  Then it will be easier to decide what you want to do with them in the upcoming year.

2.  What are your completions and your accomplishments in '08?

Please, don't skimp on these.  The "little stuff" counts!  No modesty allowed.  Let's validate any and all accomplishments, both personal and professional.  Look through your organizer, your task completion list, etc. to remind you. It's amazing how easy it is for all of us to minimize or even forget the good stuff. Let's focus on all the positives.  It's uplifting -- and we can capitalize on the principle "you attract more of what you put your attention on."

3.   What have you learned about yourself and life?  What insights have you gained?

True insights have the transformational capability of shifting us into a new, more alive place!  As we are blessed with insights, it is important to nurture and deepen these new understandings.  That means we need to integrate them into our lives as fully as possible by following through with actions that reflect our new awareness.  Insight without action loses value.

Teleclass: Recession: Crisis or Opportunity?

Note:  The early bird price for this workshop has been extended to January 1; the class starts on January 13.

It's official; the U.S. economy is in a recession.  There is no doubt that many people will be impacted by the shrinking economy, but you can take charge of your future!  Remember: the Chinese character for "crisis" contains the symbol for "opportunity."  You can use this time as a chance to refocus your life on what matters most to you and get yourself moving in that direction.  With clearly articulated goals, an effective action plan and the support to get moving, you can prosper and create the life you want, even in these uncertain times.  The key is to be pro-active. 

"Recession: Crisis or Opportunity" is an 8-week teleclass that will give you a strong start in 2009.  Participating in this class will get you well on your way towards achieving your goals for the year.  With the facilitation of Ted Behr, The Uncommon Success Coach, and the support of your fellow participants, you will journey through the eight stages of Coach Ted's Uncommon Success process.
