Here's some questions to ponder over during the next few weeks. While the questions are phrased in the singular, you might want to take one or two and discuss them with co-workers or with family members.

• What do I feel particularly proud about that happened in 1996?
• What one thing about 1996 would I change?
• What one thing could I do differently in 1997 to make it a better year than 1996 has been?
• If I had complete control over my time, how would I want to spend it?
• Who do I want to spend time with?
• What are my values and is my life "value-balanced?"
• If I focused completely on creativity and relationships, how would it impact my job or my business?
• What fascinates me right now?
• What question would I like to find an answer for?
• What's my vision for 1997?
• What are my unique competencies that I should be focusing more of my time on?
• What am I doing that someone else could do as well or better (and therefore I should be delegating or subcontracting them)?

There's probably a hundred other interesting questions but it only takes spending some quality reflection time on a couple to make some significant shifts. Some of these questions sound simple but require some deep thinking to find answers. You might want to create a reflection group to discuss the questions, provide feedback, and to help each other implement plans which might grow out of the answers.

Happy 1997!
