*Commit yourself to a life of on-going personal development
The world is changing fast with new technology developing day by day. Keep abreast of new developments or you will be left behind.
Join organisations to learn and practice new skills.
Keep studying for new qualifications. Today you can qualify from home, online. New qualifications are so easy to carry around.
*Experiment and evaluate new ways of doing things
Take some risks and learn from your mistakes.
*Strive to do every task better next time
All jobs should be evaluated. “What did I do right?” “What mistakes did I make” “What changes should I make next time.”
Evaluations don’t have to be complicated – keep them simple and get into the habit of always doing an evaluation at the finish of a task.
*Be optimistic and forward-thinking, honest and modest
The way you act with other people will largely be the key to your success. Ask simple questions and make a special effort to listen to people’s replies.
*Treat people the way you would like them to treat you
Go to a quiet place to analyse and consider these points. Make your own plans for the coming year.
