"So often, the way your year starts out is a prediction of what is to lie ahead! In our profession, when you calculate your PDA - (per desk average) it’s very much like your GPA in college. It’s important to start out strong! Ask yourself the following questions:

Did you talk to at least 20 new people daily?

Did you book 4 send-outs this week?

Are you interviewing news candidates daily?

Are you completing your planner daily? Did you track your stats every day?

Did you focus during Prime Time? Do you have your goals set for the year?

If you answered NO to any of the questions above, please ask yourself WHY? 2006 COULD BE THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE! Or, you can stay in your comfort zones, not change things and have the exact same year this year that you had last year. Don’t let 2006 HAPPEN TO YOU! You need to Make It Happen in 2006. Some simple tips to have a record year:

1. Plan every single day - no exceptions

2. Talk to at least 20 NEW people daily
