New Years Resolutions 2009 Goals

New Years Resolutions â€" 2009 Goals Small Business Coach Sandy Martini has a GREAT blog post here  which details her list of things she is letting go of in 2009. She warns her list isnt for the faint of heart. Here are the highlights:       Vendors who dont meet the terms of our agreement (theyve been fired) Clients who want everything and yet implement nothing (yes, Ive let a few go) Biz owners who fail to recognize the importance of building relationships and being authentic (we can tell when youre being inauthentic, REALLY!) Companies who dont know the meaning of customer service or who retain employees who dont believe in it (Im boycotting) Negative Nellies (I wish them well and would gleefully welcome them back into my life if they could display some optimism) Voicemail messages with no contact info, no real message (just call me) and no good time to return the call (do everyone a favor, leave a detailed message with your phone or email so we can actually get back to you) Ditto incoming faxes with no return contact info (DUH!) Sales letters which promise the world and dont even deliver a county (were back to being authentic) No shows who schedule a call and dont call or reschedule (this one shows absolutely no respect for the person being called) I love Sandys list. I have a similar one. The longer I am in business for myself the more I learn that there is no one to BLAME but myself because I am the Captain of this ship in charge and fully responsible of all the rules, boundaries and relationships. And speaking from experieince what and who I let in does get to me, for better or for worse. So I opt for the better so  my clients always get me at my best. So, what are you letting go of for 2009?
