No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head.

If we want to have the biggest impact, the best way to do this is to make sure we always focus on solving the most important problems.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It’s designed to make its own people comfortable.

One Theme a Month in 2012

I am extremely excited about 2012 and I have a host of New Year’s Resolutions this year. I also firmly believe this year to be the most important of record for UsingMiles.com. We have an insane number of opportunities this year, and I am so pleased with where we are.

I just posted a blog on FitAndThrifty about how I approach my New Year’s Resolutions. Starting this year, I have decided not to “sweat it” until February. I like having January as the “warm up” month where you get mentally prepared for all of your goals and devise a strategy to meet them. 

I am also separating my resolutions/improvements/goals into 30 day sprints (to borrow a term from our agile technology strategy), with one main focus per month throughout the calendar year. These sprints are in addition to very measurable goals I have set personally and for our company. 

How do you set and achieve goals throughout the year?
