Sal DeFilippo - New Year’s resolutions are just year-round goals in disguise

New Year’s is symbolized by revelry, party favors and Auld Lang Syne. It’s a time of both reflection and aspiration, as you turn the page to a new calendar year and new opportunities.


It’s also a time when most everyone routinely assesses and lists what they want to accomplish in the upcoming year, in the form of New Year’s resolutions.


Some are about health. Some are about business. They are as unique as the people who make them, and usually aim to improve on shortcomings.


The dawn of a new year is a natural checkpoint for such self-assessment, and it’s a worthwhile exercise, even if only for raising self-awareness. For example, if you’re one of those people who is usually still working on resolutions while others are loudly counting down as the ball drops in Times Square, you should probably put “Don’t Procrastinate” on your list this year, and move it up a few spots.


155260900 But what exactly are New Year’s resolutions? Think about this: In late December, we call them resolutions. The rest of the year, these same lists go by a simpler name. Goals.


That’s all resolutions are – a pseudonym for the goals we make year-round. So put this one on top of your list this year: Don’t limit goal-setting to once a year.


Creating new goals, in many ways, is as important as striving to reach them. This year, make your New Year’s “resolutions” relative to the year ahead, but make incremental goals throughout the year as well. Since you’re thinking about the calendar, pull one out and mark down some key dates for checking in on your goals and for setting new ones.


Another thing to keep in mind: You should set your own goals, but don’t think you don’t need to accomplish them on your own. Whether it’s personal growth or business growth, I’m here to help. “Releasing Your Inner Millionairess” is about much more than financial growth.


Besides, helping others achieve success is always at the top of my goals list, year-round. I’m excited for the opportunity to help you in 2014 and beyond!


Happy New Year!

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
