Melissa Skips Christmas!

True confessions! I haven’t even begun my holiday decorating this year. I have been going back and forth to Atlanta so much that I simply haven’t found the time. Maybe I’ll skip it and be satisfied with images of years past. It seems that perhaps having six trees last year precludes the need or desire for any but the trees in the woods surrounding my mountain retreat . . .

Time to reflect, renew, review! This is the ideal time of year to reflect on your accomplishment of the year, renew your energy and outlook for the year upcoming, and review steps you will take to go farther. If you do what you’ve always done, you will get what you’ve always gotten. A new year doesn’t assure change, only you can create change. What are you going to do differently in 2009? I’d love to hear from you!

How to Get Ahead: Lessons in Greatness! I’m launching an Expert Interview Series that I’ll be hosting monthly with design professionals and small business specialists. I’ll be interviewing outrageously successful individuals and sharing their secrets of success with you, my listeners! The first call is my gift to you. I want to see 2009 be the year you take your business to the next level (up not down!) Modeling those that have made it is one of the best and simplest ways to make this happen. Q&A will be available on every call. Our first call will be January 6, Tuesday at 8pm EST, 5pm PST. Details to come!

Prosper by Design, YOURS!
