Dear Friends,

Here are the 30 practical tips that can help all of you to make 2013 one of your best year in life. These are the tips followed by and worked for leaders around the world and can also work for you. Because these tips produce results you want.

1.          Remember that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts.
2.          Keep the promises you make to others - and to yourself. 
3.          The project that most scares you is the project you need to do first. 
4.          Small daily improvements are the key to super long-term results. 
5.          Stop being busy being busy. This New Year, clean out the distractions from your work+life and devote to a deep focus on the few things that matter.
6.          In a world where technology is causing some of us to forget how to act human, become the politest person you know. 
7.          Remember that all great ideas were first ridiculed. 
8.          Remember that critics are dreamers gone scared. 
9.          Take 60 minutes every weekend to craft a blueprint for the coming seven days.
10.          Don't be the richest person in the graveyard. Health is wealth. 
11.          Hire a personal trainer to get you into the best shape of your life. Superstars focus on the value they receive versus the cost of the service.
12.          Give your teammates, customers and family one of the greatest gifts of all: the gift of your attention (and presence).
13.          Every morning ask yourself: "How may I best serve the most people?" 
14.          Every night ask yourself: "What 5 good things happened to me this day?" 
15.          Don't waste your most valuable hours (the morning) doing low value work. 
16.          Leave every project you touch at work better than you found it. 
17.          Your job is not just to work. Your job is to leave a trail of leaders behind you. 
18.          A job is not "just a job". Every job is a gorgeous vehicle to express your gifts and talents - and to model exceptionalism for all around you.
19.          Fears, if not faced become your limits. 
20.          Say "please" and "thank you" heartfully. 
21.          Remember the secret to happiness is doing work that matters and being an instrument of service. 
22.          Get up at 5 am and take 60 minutes to prepare your mind, body, emotions and spirit to be remarkable during the hours that follow. Being a superstar is not the domain of the gifted but the prepared.
23.          Write sms or love letters to your family. 
24.          Smile at strangers. 
25.          Drink more water. 
26.          Keep a journal. Your life's story is worth recording. 
27.          Do more than you're paid to do and do work that leaves your teammates breathless. 
28.          Leave your ego at the door every morning. 
29.          Set 5 daily goals every morning. These small wins will lead to nearly 2000 little victories by the end of the year.
30.          Life's short. The greatest risk is risk-less living. And settling for average.
