The subconscious doesn't process the negative of a thought as a negative.
So if I had 'not' resolutions, I would definitely frame them as going toward 'healthier habits for the critters', or 'attracting clientele suited to my talents'.

Any resolution has to be from day-to-day and must be purposeful and aspirational. The "nots" are well taken care of by our experiences. Adults don't need to be told what to do, they need to be reminded and in our fast-paced society we can sometimes get ahead of ourselves and are late in remembering -- our "should have known better," if you break it down, is knowledge we had that wasn't retrieved in a particular instance. "Pause for reflection" and "slow down," at least for me, can work better than prohibitions.

 

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. - Henry Ford

 

That $30,000 listing is a walk in the park when it's compared to current apartment rents and our veteran community, over 26 million, just concluded a record year in originations when it can be doubled or tripled with an ongoing effort to reach ~1/3rd of veterans who aren't even aware of the benefit. The slightly higher interest rate for alternative underwriting -- 2 years of rent, utilities, and phone payments on time scarcely matters when a loan is that small, so a little investment in time could mean a source or sources in the veterans service organizations to take all $100k or less listings off your hands in short order. The Tampa Bay area has a huge veterans population needing two VA hospitals to serve them with Bay Pines VA not far from you. The dollar amount of the listing becomes less relevant when you segment the market and recognize that the low end margins are part of what can be a high turnover market (like a gas station pumping gas or a grocery store) compared to the high end (like a jewelry store that might have high margins but can only turnover their inventory once a year). Low cost housing (I'm a former banker) can be very lucrative -- just need a game plan.

The one resolution I made years ago which made a difference was to work harder to learn people's names when you meet them the first time. It takes an effort, but I really enjoy learning someone's name - and it makes them feel important.  This is not a "do no do" resolution. And this is the only one I have ever made.
