Summary:
A successful year never happens on its own, it requires a plan that we must stick to:

1. Have clear objectives:
Create a list of all the things you wish to accomplish, whether at home, in business, with friends, in relationships, etc. Set realistic time frames that you and only you can achieve.

2. Revisit the list daily:
Place this list in a spot where you will see it every day and ensure that you read it daily for the next 30 days without missing out a day.

...

3. Create a passion:
Become passionate about the items on this list and create a willingness and a desire to want to achieve them. They must become a part of you. Make them fun to achieve and throughout the year take stock of how far you have come in achieving them.

4. Develop strong ethics:
People are attracted to those with strong personal and business ethics. Become a leader and mentor for those who come into contact with you as this will strengthen your personal and business relationships.

5. View problems as challenges:
Just as this year had its highs and lows, so will next year and the year after. Change your mindset about the lows and never procrastinate in resolving them - they will never go away, they just become bigger.

6. Seek out advice:
We can never know everything ourselves whereas more minds contain more information and ideas. Never be proud to ask for advice from those around you who may know better. It is only the fool who never asks. Advice is cheap but mistakes become expensive.

7. You - the asset:
To achieve your list you must realise that you are the only one who can do it. This makes you a very important asset to you. Make the time to invest in your asset by looking after your health, learning new things, educating yourself further.

8. Balance your life:
Make sure that you are able to spend your time wisely between work, your family, the things you enjoy doing, time for others, etc. We are all given the same amount of time each day, so the more time you spend at work, the less you spend with your family.

9. Keep challenging yourself:
Become more flexible in different situations. We grow and develop character when we are outside our comfort zone and living outside this zone will make your personal and business relationships more exciting, meaningful and trustworthy.

10. Motivate everyone around you:
Encourage people to succeed. Identify and acknowledge their successes, no matter how big or small they may be. People enjoy praise and perform better when they feel good about themselves.
