So I'm sitting at home "working" (with Dr. Phil in the background) and he's talking about New Year's Resolutions.
Top 10 New Years Resolutions that people don't stick with:
5. To go back to school.
4. To find a new job.
3. To start a business.
2. To get married - I had a friend who actually said this once. A single friend at that. Somethin tells me this one only applies to the ladies
:sigh:
And the number one resolution that people make that people NEVER stick with
1. To lose weight. ...and you thought ALL the 24 Hour Fitness and Bally's commercials were a coincidence.
Why'd I write this post? Because Dr. Phil said something that made sense - why do people place so much emphasis on this arbitrary date (the start of a new year) as the catalyst for change.
And why did I fall into that trap?
Recently my partner and I have lost the bug - not the desire to start a business - but are finding ourselves overwhelmed by figuring out what to do FIRST. And our paralysis-by-analysis has caused us to do NOTHING. And as the year came to a close, I found myself saying "2007 will be the year". WHY??? Why am I waiting for some day in the future to make IT happen? Why not right now?
Well...either way, my procrastination can't last much longer because 2007 is here.
Let's make it a good one. :)

Notes About the Blog
We've tried to organize the content so you don't have to go fishing for what you're looking for, because we have so much to offer.
- Business 101: stuff we learned that you might learn from too
- Kudos: market-happenings that we thought were interesting or worthy of some congratulations (i.e. buy-outs, mergers, funding success, launches etc)
- Women to watch: Young women under 30 that are well on their way to big things. Not because we're sexist, but umm...the blog is called "entrepreneur GIRLS". :)

First of all, glad to have you back.
I think it's easier to have an arbitrary demarkation point that you can say "Enough is enough of the status quo". I believe it's more about ending the past then waiting for the future.
I'm not usually a fan either, but like you found myself using the new year as a call to action. When you think of it that way, I think it's something useful.
