How did you limit yourself last year, and how can you remove those limits in 2009?

Were there certain actions you took or didn't take that came back to haunt you? You need to bring these self-defeating actions to the surface, shine light on them, and, most important, determine what you must do differently to make sure you don't limit yourself the same way all over again.

Once again, make a list and identify the takeaways.

For example, one of the self-defeating actions on my list was not reviewing my goals on a daily basis (even though I know better). And when I don't review my goals daily, I get sucked into what's currently happening and distracted from what's most important. That caused me to miss the mark on a few goals I had set for myself in 2008.

The takeaway: I'm determined not to make the same mistake in 2009.
