A constant pursuit of new creative challenges, meanwhile, lead to the creation of I Resolve To. . . her resolution business in 2005. Her dream is to help others to achieve 'their dreams' with successful New Year Resolutions at IResolveTo.Com.

The premise and strategy is simple, common sense, and perfect for busy people. Start with the I Resolve To Formula For Success: Dream + Resolution + Small Daily Goals = Success, Achievement And Reward. Then pursue the I Resolve To System: I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. My system consists of five very specific steps - the Do's: Dare To Dream, Decide, Define, Develop A Plan, and Do It Daily.

In the I Resolve To System For Success, one also pay close attention to five very specific Don'ts: Procrastinate; Give In To Fear Of Success Or Fear Of Failure; Get Overwhelmed Or Discouraged; Grow Bored, Weary Or Burned Out; Give Up!

She advocates for practical New Year Resolutions: "Be A Resolutionista. Make Resolutions. Keep Resolutions. Enjoy The Journey. Do it today . . . take that first small step. Open your mind, dare to dream, and make a decision to 'go for it'! Proscrastination is your worst enemy and patience is your best friend. Make a promise to yourself: I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. Make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. Be A Resolution Revolutionary and make Lifetime Resolutions that are with you for good."
