Your Best Year Ever Have you made your action plan for 2013? It���s time to get started on all the things you want to add, change, or improve in your practice. P.S. Have you recently checked the Continuing Education Calendar? Look for online and local classes, including those offering a discount to ASCP members, at www. ascpskincare. com/cecalendar Skin Associated Skin Care Professionals editor���s note In the last issue of Skin Deep, the article ���Goals and Resolutions��� showed you the steps involved in planning a year of improvements. Read it in our digital edition archives at www. ascpskindeepdigital.com/i/86330/28 if you need a refresher. What if you can���t decide on one main goal? Completing a short-term goal each month can be just as satisfying and will have as much impact on revitalizing or reinventing your skin care practice over the course of a year. Perhaps you���d like to study a new educational topic or choose a new technique to learn every month. Or give yourself one month to update your room���s d��cor, one month to design and print a new menu of services, one month to improve your retail area, and so on. Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) is launching new initiatives and continuing to expand our existing member benefits in 2013 to help you achieve your business goals. We���ll keep you updated in this magazine about some exciting changes that will be coming soon. In the meantime, why not add some of these ideas to your action plan?
