As we settle back in at our desks after the holidays have passed, now is the perfect time to take an hour or two to close your door and reassess. Take a few minutes to draft out some personal and business-related New Year’s Resolutions. They can be anything from using less paper at the office to resolving the dust off your business plan and making sure it reflects where your company needs to be in 2012.
My own goals are varied. Personally, I want to make more time for my family. I’m firmly resolved to attend less evening and weekend networking events and if I do have to attend an event, I will try and pick events such as galas and charity dinners where I can bring my spouse. My goal is to attend more baseball games, soccer games and talent shows for my kids...

Your first anniversary, the first steps your one-year-old took, the signing of your first home mortgage, your first kiss. These are all milestones we celebrate throughout our lives - but why? Is it our constant need for a sign of progress or our love of celebration?

Milestones, goals, or hurdles we overcome exist in every society across the globe and they seem to appear to be more ambitious as the universe gets older...

How often do you receive advice about your business that you don’t take literally? Many of us discuss our business plans with consultants, business coaches, other local business owners, and family but it takes a special type of person to take the advice and essentially apply it to their business. At Basso on Business, we would like to highlight particular individuals who not only listened to the recommendations we presented them but took action! Our "Actions in Action” blog will quote our past featured business owners of 2010 and prove that when you act on advice and forge forward, positive change will flourish.
