Again, congratulations to all three.

January found a new—yet familiar—face atop the Salesman of the Month rankings. Jeff McConaghy ran away with the honor while Brian Kulik followed in a not-too-distant second. Good Job Jeff!

Finally, it has been a month since the calendar turned over from 2011 to 2012 and we get the sneaking suspicion that some of you might be struggling to follow through with some of those New Years’ resolutions (Trent’s Spanish is coming along….uhhh…nevermind). With that in mind, here are a couple tips to keep those promises to yourself that you thought important enough to make a ‘Resolution’:

Make It a Goal
Some resolutions can be too vague to be actionable. Turn your resolution into a goal. The difference between a resolution and a goal is that you know when you’ve met a goal.

Be Specific
Don’t be vague! A goal to lose weight is vague. More specifically your goal might be to eat small, healthy meals, do cardio for an hour a day and lift weights every other day for 30 minutes until you lose 10 pounds, lower your blood pressure by 30 points and are able do 50 push-ups. See the difference?

Break It Into Actionable Steps
Divide your goal into small actionable steps. For example, if you want to write a novel you might… 1. Think of 20 plots. 2. Choose one. 3. Outline the chapters. 4. Write each chapter. 5. Edit. 6. Have someone else edit. 7. Search for publishers etc. etc. etc.

Keep Visual Reminders
Wear a ring, hang a note on your bathroom mirror or keep a note or photo in your wallet reminding you of your goal.

Write it down!
