I know you are aspiring to make 2010 your best year yet. Everyone is blogging and writing articles about goal setting, and taking action.

So by now I’m sure you have established new benchmarks and your plan of action for getting there.

However, have you taken time to plan how you will celebrate your wins, triumphs, and successes?

Goal setting and planning is CRITICAL to the success of any entrepreneur. However, the down side is it can put you in a state of “gotta get, 24-7/365!” When you are constantly thinking about what you can “get” you are less committed to receiving, giving, and expressing gratitude.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: This will only take a moment. Revisit your written goals for the year and benchmarks.

Close your eyes and create the mental image of what that celebration will look like. Now feel the feeling of that celebration.

I bet you can hardly wait!
