Yes, I am willing to bet at least 80 percent of the resolutions that we make as part of our yearly ritual do not come to fruition. Or it could be more like 90 percent, if I am not mistaken, and I am a perfect example of this.
I remember last year at this exact moment I wrote down one of my new year ‘resolutions’ (call it what you want; your goal; your ‘to-do’ for the year, or whatever).
It was simply to ‘write a book.’ My first untold truth book that talks more about my entire life, from my childhood, the journey I travelled, all the sufferings and everything I went through. Guess what? Here I sit 365 days later with zero and no book written. And yes, like so many other well-meaning entrepreneurs, I got off to a great start. I wrote almost two pages of it by March. But somehow, time got away so fast from me and here I sit staring at my Google calendar flipped to a new year wondering what happened.
So, what can we do in order to stick to our new year resolutions? Look, if our mission is to create wildly successful businesses, which are both sustainable and fulfilling our desire for significance, I say we set our goals differently this year.
So I looked into the matter and came up with two powerful ideas.
Fuse the ideas together into one powerful steps formula and we can crush the failure rate of our new year’s resolutions starting today. Eewa!
