President's Message

There's something about the New Year that inspires and excites us. Perhaps it's the chance to reinvent ourselves, the excitement of setting new goals or maybe it's the anticipation of what lies ahead.

In a year of unprecedented financial crises and doubt, we tend to want to freeze in time or ride the wave until things return to "normal." Because it may seem gloomy now, doesn't mean we should miss out on opportunities. If anything, we should be thinking ahead to where we want to be within our personal and professional life. The time is NOW to face this challenge and rise above the rest. Following are some questions to help you:

Personal:

1. What are the most valuable things/goals I achieved in the past year?
2. How can I improve the way I am dealing with the current challenges in my life?
3. What are my most significant personal goals for the next year?
4. What would I like to change about myself?
5. How am I treating the most important people in my life and how can I treat them better?
6. How will I include joy in my life for the next year?
7. What do I wish for in the future?

Professional:

1. What are my financial goals for the next year?
2. What are my desired business outcomes for the next year?
3. What are my business challenges for the next year?
4. What have I learned about myself while working on my job?
5. What would I like to see my company change?
6. What have I learned from my co-workers from working here?
7. What will I commit to make me better and those around me better?

The keys to success are to have a tough mental outlook and to act upon your plans and goals. For example, if receiving business from MPI members is a goal, then it is important to participate!  Please visit the EVENTS section of this newsletter for a list of upcoming KCMPI programs.  I look forward to seeing you soon.
