New Year’s Resolutions to Destroy My Business
by Jeff RosenbergMy wife constantly tells me I should be more patient, that it is a virtue. I always respond the same way — no. I don’t want to be patient. I don’t see what that does for me.
She said it again just the other day (she never gives up). It got me thinking: here are my top 10 New Year’s resolutions guaranteed to make me a better person while killing my business:
10. I will stop worrying about money, incessantly.
9. I will stop worrying, period, and give up anxiety as my own personal homeostasis.
8. I will stop being a perfectionist.
7. I will stop demanding that people around me be perfect.
6. I will stop focusing so intently on little details.
5. I will ingest less caffeine.
4. I will sleep more.
3. I will stop being so full of myself.
2. I will go the gym more — oh, never mind, I already do that (as a result, Blogenberg is the hottest almost-bald-guy-with-a-gray-beard around!)
And the number one business-killing, better-person-building New Year’s resolution is:
1. I will stop judging my sense of self by looking at monthly income statements.
Happy New Blogen-year! And thank you for making Blogenberg more successful than I had ever envisioned.

What about stop whining? As a regular blogenberg reader I thought that would’ve made your list???!
My best wishes to you and your family for a happy, healthy 2009! And I’m confident the business will remain intact!

No, whining is sustenance. And I’m sure it’s one of my most endearing traits. I wish you and your family a blessed 2009, as well. Happy New Year!
