There was a time when I used to relish in the opportunity of a new years resolution – when was that I hear you ask!?
Well when a New Years resolution was about drinking less, trying to get to the gym more than 4 times a week and making sure I get more than 3 hours sleep a night. Now it seems as I’ve got older my New Years resolutions seem to be about how to serve clients better, how to make more time for the team (and my friends) and being more organised with my already tight time. Oh for the days of worrying about drinking less!
Now as luck would have it I run a business whose sole purpose is to …. Wait for it …. Help design and marketing based businesses to serve clients better, generate more time, for the fun work things and reduce the time you spend doing the admin chores, and last but not least …yup it helps you be more organised and successful in understanding where your business is coming from and which parts are more profitable and which are not.
So my New Years resolution this year is to …. Go to the gym more (an oldie but a goodie!) and have a drink every time a client calls us to thank us for helping them to be more responsive to their clients and more profitable. Now that sounds like a much better New Year’s resolution don’t you think?

There comes a point in ones life when you need to resolve to no longer have New Years resolutions. I think having children did that for me. I no longer set myself up for failure - let's face it, when did I ever drink less after a New Years resolution??? Instead now I broach each year with hope - hope that this year my 4 year old will finally talk, hope that my 2 year old will continue to thrive 'normally' and last, but certainly not least, that my 5 month old will be 'normal' too. But what exactly is normal is today's messed up world? Normal is a cycle on my washing machine.....
