GOAL SETTING:
By February 1st each year, 37% of New Year resolutions fail. The top 3 excuses are:
- goals were not realistic.
- forgot what the goals were.
- Did not track progress.
Going into 2023 I have combined all of the knowledge learned from these books along with actually putting in the work to fill out Darren Hardy’s “Living your Best Year Ever” journal.
I understand the irony of me posting this on January 18th and many are probably thinking…talk to me about this 6 months from now but let me point out why I have certainty the goals set will have a significantly higher chance of being met this year:
12 WEEK goals > 12 MONTH goals

The concept of work-life balance is a myth and a lie.
Life is all about “INTENTIONAL IMBALANCE.”
This means that if I need to form a habit like eat healthier, I need to make a commitment to focus my time and energy on making that a habit. Which takes at least a month of CONSISTENCY and FOCUS.
If I can then be consistent with that habit for 12 weeks, that becomes who I am, the habit is now second nature, and I can now focus on the next goal when I set my NEW 12 week goals.
This mental shift has been life altering for me.
I am currently in a period of life where I am beginning a new business venture. This requires intentional imbalance in my life as so much of my mental space and time is devoted to business.
However, this is just a season of life and we are living with intention so that in the future, I will have the ability to spend more quality time with my family…As long as I make that a focused and intentional priority once I have hit the metrics set for the businesses.
Life is lived in seasons. So should your goal setting.
How are your goals coming this year?
