This will be the best year of your Life
say it out loud!
This will be the best year of my life!
The 1st Thing you need to do.
Stop lying to yourself and others.
- You can't lie to yourself. I will start tomorrow. I can do it later. I am not that type of person. You won't start tomorrow. I won't do it later. You are that type of person.
- Don't Lie and Justify. Allow yourself to feel the pain of failure. Own it!
- Stop bouncing from one lie to another to yourself. Be honest with yourself. No matter what happens.
- You can't lie to others. The same people who believe your lies believe in you. Don't Lie to people who trust you and Don't Trust people lie.
Today is the last day of telling yourself and others little lies...
The 2nd Thing you need to do.
Get Clarity. Get Vision.
- You can't go anywhere if you can't see where you are going.
- High achievers have a Vision!
- Vision is how you stay inspired. You need push motivation and vision pull. You need vision and motivation.
- Get clear on the vision. Clear simple vision… Get Clear on two things.
- BIG PICTURE - the ultimate life you see for yourself. Grand Vision!
- DAY TO DAY - small steps forward.
Ask yourself. Why am I here? What is the conflict? What is your problem?
Don’t feel guilty about it. Conduct a self-evaluation. How can I adjust? What do I want? How do I get it? Stop yelling at yourself.
The 3rd thing you need to do.
Create Habits that drive your Goals.

- Plans go against Habits. Changing your habits… IT is HARD.
- Focus on the work to do on a day to day basis. Establish the Habit.
SMALL HABITS DRIVE BIG GOALS.
Little tiny Habits cause bigger and better Goals.
Starting with 20 push-ups a day brings me closer to benching 400.
Once I learn how to sail a dinghy I will be more clear on how to Captain a Barque with three masts.
What is the one small habit I can start to change my programming to get down the path to reach the goal.
The 4th thing you need to do.
"One is Greater than 0"
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
- Let's Integrate Failure into your plan.
