joyceschwarz@gmail.com

Joyce Schwarz is a Holywood career strategist and new company and product launch advisor who heads JCOM an emerging media and entertainment consulting firm in Marina Del Rey, California. She is the bestselling author of the book THE VISION BOARD which has sold more than 75,000 copies around the world. Schwarz advises entrepreneurs and business owners to create a Business Vision Board to support their New Year's Resolutions for 2011.

Do you know the best way to turn your life career and business New Year resolutions into reality? Create a visual map for 2011 for yoru business by designing your own vision board as seen on Oprah and Larry King. Businesses around the globe are doing it from Lululemon to Boeing to Lindora Weight Loss to Diane Von Firstenberg Designs all use visionboards.

Yes, a vision board enables you how to picture your success instead of just dreaming about it. YOUR VISION BOARD PLUS THESE NEW TIPS FROM JOYCE SCHWARZ CAN HELP YOU: • To make 2011 the best year ever, despite the economy


SIX  TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS WORK:

1) VISION IT ! Spend some time with your team execs and staff
visioning your success.

2) ACT AS IF, do you dream of being
ranked #1 in your field then tout something that you are #1
at already -- maybe customer service maybe one -to-one CRM
Then promo that on your website. Make a pledgte to your
clients that you are their #1 resource.

3) IMMERSE YOURSELF & TEAM INTO THE VISION
-- yes, immerse yourself into your resolution. Want to speak
at more conferences. Then start listing yourself as a
speaker on your corporate website, register for National
Speakers Association or at least join Toastmasters.

4) USE POSITIVE SELF TALK: cut out the negatives Be as specific
as possible with your own self-talk and also what you say
to others on your team. Congratulate them for every tiny
step they make and acknowledge that you are NOW on the right
path to realizing that resolution you missed in '10.

5)CREATE A VISION BOARD FOR JUST ONE OF YOUR RESOLUTIONS:
Focus closely on that one goal. Say it's to get a social
media program launched, Start by registering a twitter name,
getting yoru company page up on facebook and Linked in and
then delegate to team members to populate those three social
media outreach groups. Once you have a base you can delve
into a fancy new 2011 campaign. But if you have no followers
it's tough to convince thousands of others to join you in
2011. A base will give you a launching pad.

6) BE INSPIRED BY QUOTES FROM ROLE MODELS: Maya Angelou, the famous
poet and a friend of Oprah's says, "Tell life" I am with
you kid" and take it by the lapels and just GO!
