I just finished my ebook that I thought I would have done 4 months ago. It took so long because I was afraid. Worried that it could always be better. Action is sometimes hard because we encounter the "what if" of fear. We really want to take action, but fear binds our ability to act. I've gotten a lot better at this as I've pushed myself, but I'm curious of what all of you do to get stuff done.

I think many people make resolutions out of a place of regret, guilt or societal expectations. For people to actually follow through on them, they have to do things they actually care about.

This year for me: Make healthy choices. All sorts of goals and personal development are wrapped up in such a statement of intent. It's much like a 12 step program where moment by moment, choice by choice, we change our behavior to align with our desire. Jonathan
I find that it’s easier to make just a single statement of intent. This year for me:

Make healthy choices.

All sorts of goals and personal development are wrapped up in such a statement of intent. It’s much like a 12 step program where moment by moment, choice by choice, we change our behavior to align with our desire.

They're always so typical like "lose weight." If people really want to accomplish them, they need to be specific and lay out the steps. A plan of action is really effective. I'd go even a step further and create a personal constitution which lays out your goals in various parts of your life as well as the steps you will take. 2009 is going to be interesting and exciting; lots of people will become Career Renegades! -Andrew I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s resolutions.
