New Year`s Tip of the Week

This is the time of year to plan your New Year`s resolutions. Are you considering simply placing this past year`s incomplete resolutions on next years tab? Before you do this, consider taking the time to evaluate your year in a realistic and honest fashion. Do not just focus on bad habits and incomplete goals.

Consider making SMART GOALS. This means your goals should be:

• Specific
• Measureable
• Attainable
• Realistic
• Timely

While resolutions are a bit different, you certainly want to set yourself up for success, so planning is key.

Here is how to get er done!

1. Make a time line of when you want  too reach your goal and pit stops along the way
2. Make a list of the things that you will do to reach this goal. Be specific, what does each day, week, month look like and entail?
3.  How are you going to measure your progress? Calls made, Closing Ratios, Sales, Profits etc

 In summary, having a detailed plan written out is a great way to make sure that you know exactly where you should be and what you should not be doing.

Cheers to your success in 2014. If you would like an informational template on goal setting, please fee free to contact me harryhecht@gmail.com

Only You can make YOU Happy!

“Only you can make you happy.”


~Aaron “Marty” Martinson



I read this quote this week and thought of how many people I know that un-sell themselves on their own happiness. A few years ago I wrote a post called “You are responsible for your own orgasm”. It was a title that freaked a few people out, but its point was: you are responsible for your own happiness.



Life happens.



Your BlackBerry is now in German because you sat on it.

Your spouse is not “making you happy”.

Your kids are not behaving.



Your company was bought out and you are afraid of layoffs, so you spend all your time looking for a job and shooting out resumes.



Change is inevitable.



The only thing in life you are fully in charge of is you. 2011 is happening and that means more change, more new, more opportunities to sell yourself happiness.



Make it your priority to smile, and imagine the positive outcomes of achieving your goals. If others are de-motivating you, tell them! Show other people what you want and need from them, but never, never give up in the face of adversity. YOU are responsible
