Some years ago, following the example of one of my heroes, John Goddard, I created a life list of goals that I wanted to achieve. One of those goals was to celebrate the New Year in a different International city every year. Lisa and I have been on a yacht as we watched the fireworks explode over the Statue of Liberty. One year we were on a different yacht on the Thames River as we watched Big Ben stroke midnight. We were in the famous Moulin Rouge (and the Eiffel Tower later in the evening) for one memorable New Years in Paris. This year we added another experience as we stepped outside the New Years celebration at the Four Seasons to watch the fireworks explode over the celebrated Vltava River in the Old Town district of Prague in the Czech Republic (the locals call in Praha).

How’d we get here?

First we had to have a DREAM backed up by a decision to do whatever it took to achieve it. Then we had to have a plan. It wasn’t real complicated but it was a plan, otherwise we’d still be sitting at home. Then we had to take ACTION (keeping the Dream in front of us to keep us going when the obstacles appeared).

What’s your Big Dream for 2009? You CAN live it. If you need some help, check out all of our goal setting solutions here…

Dream it. Believe it. DO IT! It got us to Praha and it’ll take you anywhere you want to go. Happy New Year!
