At this time of year it’s difficult to find time to breathe let alone think about next year, but with 2014 only a few weeks away don’t neglect your NewYear Resolutions, particularly as far as your business or career goes. Have you achieved all you hoped in 2013? Is there a course youwish you’d taken, or newtreatment you’d like to offer? Do your books need a bit of work, or do you need to brush up on yourmanagement skills?
