Maybe next year...

House prices will start booming

Your skills and expertise will be acknowledged and rewarded

Your boss will give you the go ahead for that project (and agree to take the rap if things don't work out)

Your kids, mother, partner will be happy and doing well and you wont feel guilty

People will stop bitching and playing politics

There will be no more snow and all the tubes and trains will run on time

There won't be any computer crashes/upgrades/down-time

Your friend will return that book

Then...

You can get a new job, you can launch your project, you can start your business.

Of course, all of these things won't happen. But, why wait for what you want?

While others were hiding last year, new products were launched, new jobs were created and brand new companies were formed. While they were waiting, people got promoted, organisations grew, and contracts were signed. While they were like a Deer in the headlights, money was being made, star employees were noticed and women took their place at the table.

Most of all, magic happened.

It's okay, though, because it's all going to happen again in 2011. It's not too late, just later than it was

Happy New Year!
(oh, yes, England brought home the Ashes!)
