A happy new year!
Have you been welcoming 2012 nicely?
I've been visiting my in-law's house in Mie, as usual, having a relaxing time in a quiet city.
I haven't posted new articles since September.
My emcee job got busy since October, so I just neglected to write my stuff.
However, since the new year is coming, I would like to look back the last year and make resolutions for the next year...as ritual.
In 2011, I restarted my emcee job like on regular basis. ( I started doing it in 2010, but it was from fall, so there were not many jobs at that time.)
Also, I increased my classes to teach English. Therefore, last year, probably I worked the most since I got married.
I'm proud of myself that I didn't miss any work and kept staying healthy. I had never caught a cold last year.
However, in 2012, I would like to work more!
I have a specific goal of an annual income as a business woman. To achieve it, I need to be chosen from more clients.
To make my goal come true, I should sharpen my skills.
My English, my Japanese story-telling skills, emcee skills, teaching ones...
But to get any business successful, I suppose communication skills are more important.
I have tried to connect my students and clients. I need to keep doing it with more concentration and determination, to make them satisfied with my service.
Actually, hopefully, I would like to build personal relationships with some clients who were truly clicked with me.
This might not be a typical or effective business theory, but...I believe it's a kind of fate to meet my clients. If we become close even after our business has done, that means we are attracted as friends. I think that's wonderful!
So, I try to keep communicating, contacting my clients this year.
I'll keep trying to understand them, and also I need to open myself to make them understand me, to get my jobs done more easily.
Although I make new-year's resolutions every year, I tend to forget them soon...
To prevent it this year, I will write my resolutions ( I think there are SO many resolutions in several categories...to keep my blog an ATTRACTIVE one as possible as I can, I will not write detailed here!) in my pocket book, and take a look at them.
Probably, "Don't forget new year's resolutions!" is my new year's resolution in 2012!!
