This year more than ever you need to be sure of what you plan to do while bearing in mind that it will be an unpredictable year. I know that's a contradiction really but the important thing is to have a plan.
Sure, you might need to change it quarter or half way into the season depending on what's happening elsewhere but by having a game plan and setting out your stall at least you have a point of reference to work from.
Don't fly from the seat of you pants!
Oh, and Happy New Year!
