Help for planning a magnificent year

Another new year has begun. Each passage of a calendar year brings a sense of anticipation, a feeling of renewal and hope for the future. We can set aside our worries of the past and forge our paths anew.

At this time, many of us make resolutions to guide us on the next phase of our journey. It is also a wonderful time to dust off business plans and ensure that our businesses are also setting course for a bright future.

The Green Sheet has published many articles to assist you with setting both personal and business goals. We offer the following recommendations to help you in planning:
