Christmas is the time of year for remembering, giving, and good will to all men and women… well these are the kind of things I think we are still desperately trying to hang on to and believe. Christmas is actually, for most people, challenging to say the least: expensive, stressful, fattening and exhausting!
But we are approaching the end of another year which gives us a chance to think about what on earth we have been up to over the past 12 months. How is it that in most cases we are still standing on the same spot as last year?
The trouble is most people don’t really get to the bottom of why that is and say things like:
“In the New Year I’m going to…. [Insert lots of promises that won’t get fulfilled]”
Before they know it, the end of January is here and the opportunity for a fresh start, doing something more exciting, challenging, adventurous and fulfilling, is again slipping away.
So what is the answer…? Well the trick is to make a resolution today and not in January, to use the Christmas break to reflect and ask yourself some really tough and exciting questions about what you want, what you really deserve and the very specific steps and very specific people who can help you get there…then step across that line and get on with taking the action.
Enjoy the Christmas break and use this rare time to make 2013 a great year for you and your loved ones, so that next Christmas you can enjoy time off knowing that you are well on the way in your exciting journey.
Merry Christmas

The secret to success in 2013
How has 2012 been for you then? I trust you have been inspired by the awesome and progressive coalition government and their policies to help develop the economy and society as a whole? Fear not, if current trends continue we will have Ed Miliband the Great to rescue us from the shadows – God/Allah/Buddha etc help us!
Which is why instead of thinking about what the government might do for us in 2013, I am going to make this assumption: the government will do absolutely nothing that will REALLY benefit business in the UK next year.
Fortunately for us at Jasper’s Catering Franchise, the market in which we operate is robust and healthy. It is there for the taking, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have to work super hard, with passion, enthusiasm, drive and energy.
I do happen to know several people that will make a real difference themselves to their business in 2013 and they know secrets that the vast majority of people don’t. Foremostly they know that the key to success lies within them, NOT out there with politicians or banks. They know that you can
B(*tch) M(oan) W(hine) all you want but it will not help your situation. The reality is you have to take FULL responsibility for the decisions you have or haven’t taken, the actions that you have or haven’t taken and deal, with them.
So if you really want to make sure that 2013 is your best year yet, think about everything that you should have or could have done in 2012 that would have gained more customers, kept more customers, increased your margin etc. Then turn those ‘should have’s’ into ‘I am going to’ and DO IT!
Bullet proofing your success is easy when you implement proven systems and processes, at the right persistent rate with the right attitude…. do this and you can compensate for any insufficient policy makers and money movers.
Happy Festive Greetings!
