		<description>Yup - end of the year, time to plan for the new one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Forecast, MIF upgrades, lease expiration, 90-120 day projections - sales forecasts all for the benefit of The Company.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What about planning for the benefit of YOU, NOT YOUR SALES MANAGER?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hate to use this cliche, but &quot;in these uncertain times...&quot; personal planning is much better than planning on how you are going to make your &quot;employer&quot; more money next year.  Sure, we all need to  be accountable to &quot;the company&quot; - but only on a secondary level - be accountable to yourselves and your PERSONAL goals; these goals are set without your sales manager, and without a corporate trainer without HR in the room.</description>
