Many people see the New Year as a chance for a fresh start. Put the past behind you and start new. Whether it’s a resolution to eat healthier, spend more time with your family, save money, or volunteer more, the beginning of a new year is a great time to start.

Well the truth is you can succeed and turn that resolution into a long term goal and possibly a life changing decision. Journal & Courier wrote an article about Jennifer Bastian who did exactly that. In the article Jennifer shares how she achieved her goal and gives you an action plan to set your New Year’s Resolution in motion.
