The Last Lap ( I'll see you at the finish line )

We are in the last leg of the race, one more lap to go, then you kick it at the sound of the bell, then it is over. 2010 will be here, are you ready??? I hope everyone has been working diligently to close out the last 100 days, to run that last lap; remember, you can not make up in 2010 for what you did not do in 2009.

Have you developed a plan to kick off in 0'10, is there a track to run on, a marketing program to start with, a budget that you can live with, etc. etc.

Develop a plan, put it on paper, fine tune it and implement it, remember, business is no longer "as usual". If you are not FOCUSED and sincere about dedicating your energies this coming year to success, well, frankly you'll have to assess whether or not you will be around the entire year. Just to make my self clear, to answer those who complain that they don't have the funds, you DO NOT NEED MUCH MONEY to implement a plan and execute gone are the day's of the "shooting from the hip" operating style. We are in a recession, although some here say, not in ABQ, yeah right, look at the unemployment numbers, they have doubled in less than 3 years. Even if the recession is declared over, it still will take at least 2 years to get half way back to the way it was before the recession, this I base on previous recessions I have lived and worked through.

All is not lost however, the future is bright, just plan-focus-implement, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable, just do it and push, push, push. You will be glad you did, and remember to run the last lap with full steam and I'll see you at the finish line.
