How to Make Resolutions That Work

Tomorrow marks the eve of a New Year. A time when everyone sets resolutions — their goals for the next year. But 92% of resolutions fail. This year, instead of setting goal-based resolutions, set aspiration-based themes. This idea, along with lots of interesting statistics, are in this year-end post: “Making Resolutions That Work.”

Happy New Year!

Goal-Free Businesses

Today’s topic addresses a question I get asked quite often. “How can the goal-free concepts be applied to business?” After 20 years of helping companies be more innovative and creative, I could (and may) write an entire book on that concept.

Since I have so much to say, I decided to create a separate page with today’s entry. Click here to view today’s full post.

New Endorsement — Mike Veeck

“I thought so much of Stephen Shapiro’s Goal-Free Living that I incorporated his research into spots we are running for our ball clubs. Goals pick up where fun ends.” — Mike Veeck, Author of Fun is Good.

I am thrilled to receive Mike’s endorsement. Although we have never met, his reputation precedes him.

Mike, son of former Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck, runs six minor-league baseball teams including the Brockton Rox — my home town baseball team. Veeck is co-owner of the Rox (and other teams) with comedian Bill Murray, which is quite fitting. For all of Veeck’s teams, he drafted a business plan that begins with three simple words: “Fun is good.” This philosophy not only creates enjoyable evenings for everyone at his ballparks, it also has transformed a half-dozen money-losing or start-up teams into a thriving $25 million business. Be sure to read Mike’s colorful bio!
