Be decisive. Cut out the distractions. Focus on what you really want. Don’t just nurture things because they are in front of you. Go after your scary dreams. Be ready to fail. Get clear. Go!

Replace Dream Drags
You’re pumped for the new you!! But you don’t have enough time in your day to fit in these new activities, habits, and skills. That’s ok.
You simply need to say goodbye to some “old you” drags on your time. Maybe that tv show you no longer really watch: that could save 50 minutes. Or the 1 hour in the gym could be reduced to 30 minutes, every time, or at least 3x a week.
Design your days such that you stop doing things the new you would not do and start doing things that a pro in your field would be doing without question. Figure it out. Now go!!

Plan v Wish List v Idea
So you think you have a plan for 2023. What you probably have is a wish list, or simply an idea.
An idea has no emotion and little, if any, detail. It’s more of a statement. Lose 42 pounds. Get a new job. Land people on Mars.
You can then personalise it and add some emotion like excitement, concern, giddiness, fear or trepidation. As the idea moves from an abstract thought to something that may be part of your future, you begin to internalise it and different emotions will start to bubble up to the surface. For example, I would like to lose 42 pounds, get a new job and be part of the team that lands people on Mars.
To improve your chances of success though, you are best to write these ideas down. Make them personal with “I am” type statements and then add some clear, detailed steps and milestones that you’ll need to go through to reach your desired goal.
Making a plan requires more commitment and detail. It takes a bit of time to make. If you don’t have the will to commit to making the plan, it’s unlikely you’ll have the will to overcome the challenges that you’ll find on the path you have chosen to take.
If you do commit, you’ll need dates and times that you’ll actively progress your plan. You can add milestones too. You’ll also need a system to review your progress, including daily tracking of key activities and metrics. Without tracking against a plan, you are likely to drift and then give up.
But that needn’t be your story. Be the top 5% of people. Use your discipline. Feel how good it will be to have reached your goal. Hold that thought.
Now go turn your 2023 ideas into wishes and then make a plan around the most important ones.
Tag me in so we can celebrate together!!!

Day 1: Discipline
Start your year with discipline. Do the things you need to do regardless of motivation. Even if you don’t want to do something, do it anyway. That is what we call discipline. It’s hard at first, but it will get you the results.

An Amazing 2023! ?
What would an amazing 2023 look like for you? Would you get a raise, change jobs, land a key account or retire? How good would your relationships be? How would you know or measure that? Which skill or habit would you acquire or improve?
What about your health and fitness? Will this be the priority it should be? What does the best you actually look like? Where will you be on the wealth scale? Could you be a little wealthier at the end of the 12 months? How much wealthier could you be?
And what one thing are you going to do just for you?
I hope you wrote all this down. You’ll need to refer back to it all every week, at least.
This is how you have an amazing 2023 – you design it. Then execute.

Press Hard When Required
Sometimes you have to press hard to get things done. That may mean days or weeks of 20 hour days. But there are times you have so much on and a short timeframe to deal with it all. You just have to press on and do it!
Keep hydrated, power nap if you can and stay positive. This too shall pass. Fun will come again. There is a time for all things.

Optimism
Hope is a powerful mindset. To be hopeful and optimistic can carry you a long way in life, sometimes much further than possible without it. Remember this well. Your optimism is your superpower. Guard it with your life.

Act Fast. Then Rest.
Get moving quickly on things. Don’t dawdle. Move with intent to achieve, accomplish and complete. Then you can rest. No need to rest in advance or during. Try it. I think you’ll like the results.

Finish What You Start
If you don’t want to see it through to the end, don’t bother starting it. Think this through at the start of a project or situation rather then feel compelled to finish something you have no interest in.
