 Welcome to the last issue of 2011.
Everyone says it, and I think it's because, get ready for it - This Time, We Mean it - but "Can you believe 2012 is here already?" Now the questions are "How will you use the next year and what would you like to accomplish?" To help you get ready (or to decide), we have a very special inspirational phone scheduled for January 4 at noon (PT). It's all about how to make change easier. Really, it can be done. The details are here - but you want to make sure to schedule some time to join us. It will definitely be worth it. In addition, our main article gives a playful and practical list that we all would want for 2012. Our blog postings this month include everything from the most amazing collection of photos you might ever see to an article on how to prevent family drama from causing you to give up on your goals. And, of course, there is a great music video, a very funny ad, and an inspirational story in our ever-popular videos. If all that wasn't enough to keep you inspired through January, we have two guest authors providing practical advice on how to be happier and how to get what you want. This Time I Mean it Day, 2012! Last year was the first THIS TIME I MEAN IT DAY, and on February 15, it's time to do it again. I'm working on making this a national holiday dedicated to taking care of yourself. I hope you'll join me. You can find out more here.
Would you like to be easier to change some of your frustrating habits?
Most folks answer that with "Yes." So, on Jan 4, 2012 at Noon PT, Dave Berman will help us get past the barriers to change - allowing it to be easy! In this session, you will learn (among other things):
- How does the Mind/Body connection affect our lives?
- What is the "Thought Compass" and how it can keep us on track - or get us off track
- What is "sensory memory?"
- How do NLP and Law of Attraction work together?

Videos of the Month
We all like videos and the most popular links in the newsletter are therefore the videos I post. I work on finding videos that are inspirational, educational, and humorous.Video #1: Jive Aces - "Bring Me Sunshine" This music video is absolutely infectious - and is probably what we're all hoping for (plus the production values are fantastic). Watch it and you'll be smiling and tapping your feet. Video #2: Secret Santa Despite all the "doom and gloom" we face, Secret Santa Sightings were on the rise this year (really!). This benevolent folks who hand out money to strangers have been seen through out the country. This video focuses on one. It will make you feel good. Video #3: Carlsberg Beer ad I'm not promoting the product - to be honest I know very little about it. But, the ad is brilliant. I don't know if it was set up to be funny or just to make a point about how we make assumptions. Either way, you'll enjoy it. (Note: the videos are not embedded in this email. To view them, click on the picture and they'll take you to a location at my blog where you can view them.)

By the way, if you have a suggestion for a video for the newsletter, please let me know. Most of the time, that's how I find out about these.

Great Guest Authors on the TTIMI Blog!
We are always looking for people who write well, provide good content, and are inspirational. Following are two of the most recent post from some of our guest authors.

 I can make a very special financial arrangement with your organization if we can work together in May, 2012. I have a couple engagements in Oregon and Washington during mid May, 2012 Why does this help YOU? That schedule gives me some days with nothing to do. I'd rather use my time working with organizations or individuals who could use my help. So, if you know someone who would like great content to help: - Improve Communication
- Reduce Conflict
- Lower Stress
- Increase Productivity
- Enhance Wellness
- And, oh yes, have fun!
I prefer folks who have a budget - but since I'm on the road, I'll consider certain pro-bono and "lower-fee" engagements. I will also waive my travel fees! All of this could result in a potential savings of thousands of dollars! I'll provide you whatever you need to help me. All I need is contact information and why you think I would be of help. We would need to talk just a few minutes to see if there's a potential. (You can also to someone else you think might be able to take advantage of this offer.) If you're interested in knowing more, click here or call me at 707.442.6243. Thanks. |

With Gratitude
"Take some time everyday to be grateful - especially at those times when it's difficult to do so" - from the Shade of a Tree is the Very Best Shade There isIt's important to be thankful, so at the end of my newsletter, I express it publicly. With that in mind, just some of the people to whom I am grateful include: the Mastermind Alliance; Humboldt Speakers; the Northcoast Small Business Development Center, Weight Watchers International; Mike Domitrz for his support in developing my career; my guest authors; Dave Berman, my next guest on "Getting Past What Holds You Back;" Franki Borowski; the International Institute of Municipal Clerks International Conference; and Lighten Up San Gabriel, all for inviting me to speak next year; the the folks who have signed up to be coached and supported by me on ThisTimeIMeanit.com; the editors of the newspapers that run my column and the websites that post it - as well as the people who read it; and of course to my family - especially my loving wife Mary Ann. I am also very grateful to YOU dear reader, for allowing me into into your life.

There are some things I'd like for the New Year. I know that's not within your usual bailiwick, and you're probably pooped from a long sleigh ride, but if you don't mind...
This Time I Mean It Day is exactly six weeks after the beginning of the new year. It a day to recommit to the changes we had promised ourselves at the beginning of the year - and what better day than the day after the holiday that's dedicated to commitment?
