In a few hours it will be out with the old and in with the new. Out with your old habits, success, lifestyle, debt, income and in with the new and improved work habits, growing success, lifestyle of freedom, decreasing debt, and increasing income. This is our chance to start fresh and have a blast doing it.
I am not sure what your New Year's plans are but I pray that you spend a few moments really and truly thinking about how you will improve your life in the New Year. It's great that we get a fresh start now let's go make the most of it. This is a year where we will be able to impact more lives than ever before. We will be able to see families brought together. Single mothers will be paying off debt. Parent and children relationships improve. Young ambitious adults will get started on the journey of a lifetime. Retired couples will discover a brand new life a brand new career which will bring them a sense of continued accomplishment.
The best part is that we can have front row seats to all of this if we so choose. I ask that in 2007 you decided to make a change in your life not just for you but, for the lives of others who will be impacted by you.
Let's have a magical 2007!

Goals for the New Year
My goal for this past year was $250,000, if you have been following my blog then you are aware that I am not on target to hit that goal. Two demons that have constantly reared their ugly head have been procrastination and poor time management. Hence, this lead to my post yesterday! However, I will hit somewhere around $110,000 to $150,000 for the year once the dust clears and my accountant does his work. When looking back at the year two things strike me, the first is that I really just have not worked that hard. Several weeks I only put in about 5 to 10 hours of solid work and simply managed my time poorly, I have never worked more than 25 hours in a week. The upside to all of this is that I still ended the year well over $100,000.
Of course with the New Year comes new goals and new commitments. My income goal for 2007 is $500,000. I will take several steps that will put me on track to reach this goal. The first step is that I will work consistently 28 hours a week not 5 or 10 hours. That alone should double my income. I will also perfect two techniques that I have learned from Dani Johnson. One of these techniques is known as "Building a Fire" and the other is called "3 Meeting Plan".
There is also one other technique I will continue to use which I officially put in place the last quarter of this year. I will continue to leverage the efforts of a training company called "Called to Freedom International". This training company has been the best resource I have seen for someone to launch a business and get into profit the quickest. This leads to an organization that is far more successful as a whole and ultimately great profits for the entire team. It also leverages my time so that I can focus on other profit producing activity within my business. To be very blunt and honest I believe "Called to Freedom" can actually train far better than I can.
Much Success,
Jackie O'Quinn

Get a JOB!
Dear readers,
I know a lot of you are business owners. A friend and business owner I love and respect sent this to me- and I have edited it to fit my own life. If I were to give you any advise for 2007- this would be it. Period, end of story, nothing more. If you do what this email says- nothing else will affect you as much. If you don’t follow what it says- nothing else will affect you as much!
You Need A JOB!
I don't mean you need to run out and get an actual J-O-B (unless you already have one) but what I mean by this is that you need to be working on...
A SET SCHEDULE.
When you work for yourself it's so easy to get LONELY as well as to get BURNED OUT from working too many hours.
After not being employed in over a year, the one thing that I find helps the most is to create a set schedule of time when I will work only on my business.
No distractions.
No TV breaks.
No running errands.
No playing video games.
No downloading music.
No email.
No phone calls to Mom.
No taking kids to soccer.
No surfing the Net.
JUST 100% PRODUCTIVE WORK.
You need to approach growing your business like a JOB.
With any job you have a DEFINED RESPONSIBILITY.
You need to have the same thing if you're running your own business. You need to hold yourself accountable.
You can do this, and make more money in your business, by committing to only WORK during at least a certain set of hours.
This could be from 10am until 2pm five days a week, or it could be only on Saturdays, or it could be 10 hours a day. But whatever it is,
you need to get serious and schedule a SET amount of time you will only work. You can always work additional hours if you choose to do so.
If you create a "Work Schedule" for yourself you will find that you are much more productive and get more done -- which ultimately leads to you making more money.
So create that work schedule and make a commitment to follow it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you see the changes that start to happen and how FAST your business starts to grow as a result.
Make your schedule now, for 2007.
Get your family ready for this schedule and plan to stick to it, come hell, come high water, come fevers, come floods, come anything!
THIS WILL BE the best year of your home based business ever, with this one tip!
Have an awesome day and God bless!

Looking toward the New Year
I am definitely looking forward to the New Year. I am working consistently to finish out December. I am encouraging others in our organization to do the same. The clients that we are talking to now will help to set the tone for the New Year. As new clients start building their business they will be building it directly into the first quarter. This will ultimately set the tone for our incomes in the New Year.
The great thing about this business is that in the New Year so many people have to New Year's resolution to "get out of debt". For many of these people the answer is a second income. If someone wants to earn an income from home then obviously Coastal Vacations offers the best chance for that. Not to mention the first quarter of the year is tax time. A lot of these people will not have more disposable income to invest in order to eventually get out of debt. You really have two choices with a tax return. Pay down a small portion of your current debt or invest in a business that will help you pay off all of your debt and eventually become completely debt free. Of course the second choice simply makes the most sense.
Till next time,
Jackie
