In this week’s podcast episode I dive deep in what it takes to prepare for success for the upcoming year. Most people think that 2019 starts in 2019, but it really begins now at the end of 2018. It doesn’t matter how excited or motivated you are, your success for the year 2019 will be determined by your actual habits during the 30 days of December.
The most important thing you need to have in check is figuring out your limitations. You need to fact check your philosophies of what you’re believing right now is possible for you. You must reflect what things you’ll take from the past that’s helping you and the things that are hindering you.
The biggest limitation for most people is by having the wrong people around. Surrounding yourself with the wrong people who are not aligned with your vision can result to your own vision being hindered. This can be the very reason that’s stopping you to propel forward. Make sure you end your year right, by checking yourself and start surrounding yourself around the right people.
The majority of society think that in order to be successful, you need to work plenty of hours. But it’s truly not about the hours you work, it’s about what you put in the hours. Putting in too many hours of work will make you bitter towards the things you use to love. It’s not about working harder or smarter, it’s about working right with intent and purpose. Making sure that your mindset and your actions are helping you propel your business forward, rather than just maintaining it.
The real game changer is to change your perspective in planning ahead and thinking things through. This will lessen regret. People live in the moment so much that they struggle in the future because they don’t have the intent and strategy. You need to finish big and firstly understand the philosophy of the last leg of the year. It determines everything.
By thoroughly planning for the next year ahead separates winners and losers in terms of economics. December is the final stretch to go big and plan big. I’m always thinking about how I can win before the game begins, and making sure i have every competitive advantage in entrepreneurship.
If you are excited to kill it in 2019 and have that competitive advantage over the rest of society, let’s dive in!
