Look at the calendar today. Do you see just how close we are to the end of this year? It’s usually right about this time that people start to look back and wonder just what happened to the year.

Time does indeed fly by fast when you’ve got things going on in every direction, but how much of all the busy-ness has really resulted in creating the kind of financial success you’d been hoping for this year?

Think back to January of this year and to all the goals and plans you had for the New Year. Did you hit most of them? Some of them? Not even one of them?

What will you do differently this time around? Here are some things to consider:

First, doing what you’ve done is not going to result in getting much more than it’s gotten you in the past. So you know you need a new approach, some new ideas, and maybe some additional motivation.

Where do you start? Who can you turn to for answers? And, how can you justify the expense?

Start with understanding that you can’t do it all alone. There are just too many skills you would need to master, and there aren’t enough years in your lifetime to become great at all of them. So you need to enlist some help.

In my case, I’ve had the most success in both my business life and also in my personal life using two resources. Early on in my career, when I didn’t have any money, I’d invest in tapes and CD’s from speakers who had answers. Before long, I had hundreds of these programs and would listen to them anytime I was in the car.

I literally got an advanced education while sitting in traffic to and from my day job!

When I had more money, I started to attend seminars. Back then there weren’t many teleseminars out there, so I attended seminars that usually required me to travel, sometimes clear across the country!

The next level for me was hiring a coach. That allowed me to take the knowledge I’d gained from the tapes and seminars and really begin to put it into action in my life. I was hooked because I saw such vast improvement in every area of life, including in my business.

I’ve had as many as 6 coaches at one time, and never have fewer than 2 that I work with at any given time. When I look back at my life, I can honestly say it’s not yet perfect, but you would not even recognize me today if you knew me just 10 years ago. I’ve made so many incredible strides forward a lot faster than I would have otherwise had I tried to do it all alone.

What about you?

Are you making great strides forward? Have you seen measurable progress in your business since January of this year? What are you planning to do differently that will get you on the path to success?

Here are some suggestions for you.

1- Home Study Programs

If money is tight, invest whatever you can in some home study programs. But don’t just invest in them, take the CD’s out of the wrapper and slip them into your CD player and play them.

Make this a habit. To this day, in my car, there are these kinds of CD’s and I do listen to them about 80% of the time I’m in the car. There’s a reason why my knowledge base continues to expand and why I’m more and more successful each and every year.

Have a look at the programs I’ve got on my freshly updated site:

2- Live Seminars

If want more of a hands-on experience, enroll in at least one seminar, teleseminar, or workshop before the end of the year.

This is one step up from the pre-recorded programs and will likely require a larger investment, but the results are typically faster and the learning more profound when you can surround yourself with like-minded people.

My next live event is coming at the end of March 2009.

3- Personal Coaching

The next level up is, of course, getting a coach who will work with you on the things that YOU want to accomplish in your life. I prefer a non-scripted coach, in other words, a coach who does not follow a pre-defined “program” but who can use their own gut feelings and intuition to guide and advise me.

I have just one slot open today for coaching. To apply, we set up a complementary call together and we literally interview each other to see if we’d enjoy working together. If we decide to work together, we’ll create a coaching program that works with your schedule and help you get to your goals in the shortest possible way.

If you’d like to set up a complementary coaching session with me, simply send me an e-mail at robert@ultimatewealth.com and put the word “coaching” in your subject line.

The Year 2009

So what will the New Year be like for you? Better than 2008? Will you begin the business you’ve been thinking about for so long?

Will you hit your first million dollars in sales in 2009?

Are you ready to step up to the plate and take back control of your life so that you do hit your targets more consistently in the coming months and years?

Here’s my hope for you. I sincerely hope that you take a moment right now to consider what it is that you really want out of life. Then figure out which steps you are willing and able to take to move yourself towards those goals.

If I can be of service to you, I’d be happy to help out where I can. You’ve got my e-mail address, you now know what I’ve got to offer you, and it’s up to you to decide to take advantage of it.

Personally, 2009 will be my best year yet! Care to join me?

Be outstanding!
