10 New Year Resolutions for PAs


The start of the year is a good time to reflect on your business's progress over the past year and plan how you want your career and business to develop in the coming twelve months. Do you want increased success in 2011 or the chance to enjoy the success you've already achieved more? These are our 10 New Year's resolutions designed to help you strike a better work-life balance, so you can achieve a truly satisfying success in this bright New Year.

- Encourage your Boss to learn how to delegate and then do more of it.
- Help promote your business regularly and consistently.
- Make business planning a weekly event.
- Learn something new.
- Find new business organisation’s or networking group.
- Give something back to your community.
- Put time for you on your calendar.
- Set realistic goals.
- Don't make do; get a new one.
- Drop what's not working for you and move on.

Achieving a healthy work-life balance is like maintaining a good relationship; you have to keep working on it. But if you apply these New Year's resolutions throughout the year, success is more likely to follow!
