Video: Your 2009 Business Resolutions

Lisa Nguyen | Paola Quintanar

 | December 24, 2009
As 2010 draws night, we asked Vancouver businesspeople what their business New Year's resolutions are.

We've heard it all too much: Market uncertainties and slumping confidence in the economy has made personal finance and job security a top concern for many Canadians. There's no doubt, optimism and frugality will play a major role in getting through this bumpy road ahead.

So, BCBusiness hit the streets of downtown Vancouver to gauge people's attitudes as they step forward into 2009 and to find out what's on everyone's New Year's resolutions lists.

Share your goals and forecast with us by commenting below. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2009 from BCBusiness Online.

this year is all about budgeting and cutting back unnecessary spending, I look forward to accepting the challenge of revamping my fiscal spending for this year.

I love the last comment about surrounding yourself with positive people. Very true!

My goals are keeping it real. And as somebody in the video said, not watch too much TV so you get caught up on the madness.
