It's Time To Let Go

The end of the year is the perfect time to purge those files, closets, drawers, attics, basements, and storage areas. We usually think of spring cleaning as the time to get a fresh start, but what better time to get a fresh start for the new year than by letting go of useless information, papers, supplies, and materials?

As we have some time around the holidays - and even if we don't we should make the time - we should delete unnecessary files from our hard drives, toss out sales leads that aren't going anywhere, throw out obsolete files and software, throw out old office supplies that are unwanted or no good (unless they still have some usaeble life as a donation to a school or nonprofit agency), and get ready for a fresh start in 2011.

There is an old adage that we should get rid of what we don't want or need (not counting family) to make room for what we do - the principle of the vaccuum.

It's time to let go of any mental baggage, ideas, concepts, or thoughts that have held us back. Time for a paradigm shift.

Have a prosperous, healthy, happy, and successful 2011 - and start it off as lean as possible. It's time to let go of anything that is not going to be useful or helpful in the new year.

Spring is a state of mind

Spring officially arrived this morning. Maybe it doesn't look or feel very spring-like where you are. That's OK. It's nice to have the warm temperatures, the final bit of snow melting away, the fresh smell in the air, the colorful flowers blooming, and the trees budding out. Those are the outward, visible signs of spring.

However, spring is state of mind also. In fact we didn't have to wait until today to begin our springtime attitude.

Spring is for new starts, optimism, new projects, and renewal. Spring is refreshing. It motivates us to formulate new ideas and strategies and to let go of old, tired ideas and beliefs.

Now we can have both - an official springtime on the calendar and a working springtime attitude in our minds and spirit.

All signs point to spring

It's official. Spring is here. It arrived today. We've already had the time change - that started putting us in the spring spirit. Flowers are beginning to grow. Snow and really cold weather is mostly behind us. March Madness is here. Major League Baseball is getting ready for the season.

Easter is still 3 weeks off, but other than that, all the signs are pointing to spring - to a resurgence, a renewal. Let's use this freshness and newly acquired energy to have a great selling season.

Winter is behind us, it's spring. Let's celebrate and prosper.
