I don’t know who figured this gimmick out, but it’s real neat that you get to start a whole new year with a clean, unblemished, untarnished slate.

With Christmas around the corner and about a week to go to 2016, it’s time to jettison last year’s disappointments, resentments, frustrations, mistakes, unfulfilled goals and only carry over the good stuff.

Whatever’s done is done, committed to history, no point looking back, you can’t change it anyway.

When the clock strikes midnight on the 31st of December the starter’s pistol goes off. A whole new 52 weeks are right in front of you. The trick is to make sure you are not lugging any unnecessary baggage and you have the clearest possible picture of what the finishing line looks like at the end of 2016.

So how do you set goals for the New Year?

Here is what I have discovered over the last 40 plus years of being in business for myself and helping other people in business…

There are certain things that really successful people do that those less successful don’t do.

As I travel the country and when I talk to clients I get asked lots of questions…

Having started bought, build and sold 19 odd businesses, I am well qualified on this subject to have what I call a “checklist” or a “litmus test” if you like.

So here is my “checklist” of what qualifies a business to be a racing car, not a jalopy.

Lucky for me, I figured this one out VERY EARLY in the game of business.

Probably 40+ years ago.

I figured out that if I wanted to be successful in business, the best way I could do that was to help other people get what they want and I would be successful as a bi-product of that.

No of course, my personal reasons way back then to be successful in business was to provide wealth for my young family.

By that I mean plenty of food in the fridge, a good roof over their heads and a comfortable lifestyle.

Your reasons of course for wanting to be successful would be different from mine.

The list is pretty long so I won’t even attempt it here.
