Scott D Jones - Staffing Consultant - Toledo, Ohio

As we wrapped up 2009 last week I began to think about the new year and decade we rang in on Friday.  After the count down people began to speak about there resolutions and what they wanted from 2010.  That got me to start thinking about my own personal ambitions for 2010 and what goals I would set forth.  Initially I thought about obvious things like becoming more fiscally sound, getting in better shape, and so on.  Then I focused on how can I achieve all of the goals and maximize my results.  I am going to look to Jim Carey's philosophy in Yes Man and try to say yes to more opportunities that present themselves compared to saying no.  Obviously I am not going to take it to the extreme that he did but just opening myself up to new things more often than taking the easy way out with a no.  As we all have a tendancy to gravitate towards the easy way out but each opportunity may only knock once and it may be hidden in a disguise of hard work.  What are you willing to say yes to?  Are you open to taking dancing lessons?  Learning a new language?  Or are you planning on saying yes to taking more risks to possibly maximize your 2010?  Like my grandfather always told me "you can only get out of life what you put in to it."

As my first blog of the New Year and decade I wish everyone a prosperous 2010.  I am looking forward to growth and many new blog entries to discuss with you in the new year!
