As I sit here writing this article, the year (and the decade) are fast drawing to a close.   Right now there is 80 minutes left of my 2010.  So even though I didn’t publish this article until 2011 (by my timezone) it is technically the last one that I’ll write for 2010.  Many people touched my life during 2010, and this article is for them.  I want to say

How often do you make all kinds of New Year’s resolutions, only to find that by about January 3rd you’ve forgotten about them? It’s because New Year’s resolutions aren’t plans, they’re not goals. They’re often just flippant, spur of the moment things you blurt out at the New Year’s eve party because everyone else is blurting out their’s.  This article is about turning those drunken remarks into something more solid.  A battle plan!
