Let's be honest, how much outside of breaking diets, shopping, and surviving family get-togethers do we get done during the holiday season? My guess for most is not a lot; we see the holidays as a time to relax - not just rest, but a chance to stop and reflect on the previous year and focus on how we want to improve the upcoming year.
2011 was a rough year for many of us: unemployment is still high, available jobs are few and far between, and good news is difficult to come by, but there is hope. Compared to 2008, the economy has improved, unemployment numbers have dropped, and the job market is improving - not nearly as well as we would like, but its a start; and a little hope and a good start is what most of us need.
So I have a challenge to those with the luxury of having some time off this holiday season: Use some of that time to figure out how you want your 2012 to be. Will it be a year of improvement or a year of disappointment? The saying in business is that you're either growing or dying, and I think that's true in life, so don't waste time waiting around for something to happen to you because chances are it will never arrive; go and find it for yourself. If an education is something you're interested in pursuing, start by researching The College Network and learn about how higher education online can make 2012 one of the best years in recent memory.
