How to Use December to Avoid the New Year’s Trap
Let’s face it, most people fail at their New Year’s resolutions. You could even say most people fail miserably.
But as Doug and I discuss in this week’s podcast, January 1st is actually a perfect time to start working towards a new goal. In order to be successful, however, you need to set yourself up for that success. That preparation starts in December. If you plan on setting a resolution in the new year, or even if you don’t, the tips in today’s episode can help make your goals a reality, and keep you from being another one of those resolution failures.
Here’s what we talk about in this episode:
- Why New Year’s resolutions aren’t a joke
- How to reflect on the past year and make goals for the next
- The power of creating a launch date for your goals
- Using others to hold you accountable
