Easiest Way To Thrive in 2021
It's time to crank up those 2021 goals with a new year upon us. Why not choose a simple way?
One of the easiest methods of achieving success is to stick to tried and true. That doesn't mean you can't move toward something more meaningful. It means that you forgo new knowledge and skill and leverage what you already understand.
The easy way to success assumes:
1) You already have experience and wisdom. You will learn any new skill if, and only if needed.
2) You will choose the path of least resistance. The goal is to get the results you want in the fastest period. No distractions. No zig-zagging.
3) Overthinking burns too many brain calories. If you find yourself confused and stuck, accept that you may need to reevaluate your plan. Do it fast.
Human nature will compel you to clutter your success journey with distraction. Seek the direct route to the results you want. It's easier.

Grateful For The Past Year
It's the time of year when gift-giving is everywhere - but those are not the most important you have received.
Every day that passes, you experience life. The good. The bad. The ugly. Those experiences add up to incredible life lessons that you carry forever.
That leads me to a question -
What experiences did you have last year that you consider a gift?
It is challenging or pleasurable. How you perceive has the power to transform your future.
As you head into Christmas, take a moment and give thanks for the gifts that 2020 produced. That'll make the next year even better.

Why People Fail at Their Goals
Setting goals is a process that can happen automatically or consciously. Sometimes you find yourself on a path. Other times you choose your path, which is the only way to control your outcome.
Why should you choose your path?
Because there are three elements to successful goal completion:
1) Principles are the foundation that supports your belief or behavior.
2) Strategies are your action plan to achieve your goal.
3) Tactics are the steps you take to achieve your final goal.
Think. Plan. Act. That’s the path forward to reach any goal.
Focus on Principles, Strategies, and Tactics. Anything else will cause you to slide backward.

Opportunity Discrimination
Do you have too many options and are having a difficult time choosing?
There is a concept called "Opportunity Cost.” It is simply the value gained or the value lost in deciding what opportunities you will pursue.
I tend to focus on another question entirely -
"Does an opportunity provide the fastest and most direct path for me to reach my goals?"
It's easy to look at almost any opportunity and justify a path, especially if you are being persuaded by someone else. It’s more difficult to make a choice.
If you want to break free from a stalled life, you must eliminate anything that takes you off course and stay focused on your goals.

2021 is the Year of Decision
I’ve learned the single most powerful way to build momentum is to make a decision. That's why I’ve chosen “Decide” as my guiding word for next year.
When you make a decision, any decision, it can be life-changing - as long as you understand…
Decision making is not about a “Yes or No.” Like Yin and Yang, each is the same as the other, only opposite.
A decision is also not about “Maybe.” Unlike being opposite, it's a confusing mess of everything negative and positive.
What is decision making about?
It’s about cutting off all other options and focusing your energy forward. As you gain momentum, you leave your frustrations behind.
Deciding can be scary. But it can also be exhilarating. It's also a good habit to develop.

Setting Goals The Smart Way
I'm a big fan of setting big-ass goals. Dreaming BIG is my natural state - which is why S.M.A.R.T. goals are not all that smart.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound.
While it may seem like a good plan, I can't wrap my head around not setting goals because they don't seem achievable or realistic.
Excuse me?
Since when did big-ass goals seem achievable and realistic?
If that were true, you would already be doing them. Anytime you are moving from dreaming into doing you will be living in the land of crazy and scary.
If you hold yourself to what is achievable and realistic, you might as well keep doing what you're doing.
Instead… dream BIG and start taking baby steps. It won’t be long before your goals become real.

A Different Way of Planning
I was on the phone with a client this morning when he said, ”I don’t know why I have such a hard time planning my day-to-day stuff? I just want my day to be easier!”
I get it. Everybody does. And to make that happen, you need a mindset shift.
First to consider is that non-stop and continuous planning of every task every day is exhausting. It only adds another level of stress to your day.
Instead, planning should be done occasionally with a broader focus on short, medium, and long-term. The goal is NOT to spend your life planning. It is creating containers where you plan to do your work or play.
Once you have your containers, you load them with goals and tasks and get them done. When things require adjustments, make another plan.
Make your plan and work your plan. Don’t keep change things. That’s how you get what you want.

How To Believe in Yourself
It’s the time of year when the world begins to believe.
Children always believe. They don’t know otherwise. Adults view the world with a different set of eyes, so building self-confidence requires a little more focus.
1) Building belief in yourself begins by taking care of yourself. There is tremendous power in taking control of your body, mind, and spirit daily. You will feel yourself get stronger from the inside out.
2) Once you take control of your own life, it’s time to open your horizons and expand your worldview. Be brave and look outside yourself for new ways to explore the world around you. Start with small steps and grow. The more steps you take, the more your belief in yourself will arise.
3) Share what you have learned with others and give them a helping hand. The positive feedback you receive will build the belief and self-confidence that will make you unstoppable.

Why You Should Set Goals
Are you feeling excited to be alive today?
Why not fire yourself up by becoming a goal setter on a mission to maximize your life experience?
I've said for years that goals are the heartbeat of your life. Goals make you feel alive and give purpose to your daily experience - and experience is what life is all about.
You can also consider goals as tangible expressions of your values. Through your daily actions, you express how you feel on the inside.
Goals are also automatic. Set them for yourself, or you'll find that other, well-meaning people will be happy to set them for you.
The meaningful life you desire is a result of setting and pursuing meaningful goals. Never set goals and forget them. Set, pursue, and LIVE them.

Simple Reset For Maximum Productivity
How would you like to be more productive AND enjoy your day?
I’ve always been the kind of person who believed that life is life. Whether living your personal life, working at your job, or building a business. You are still the same person no matter what you are doing. Leaving yourself behind while you do something else is not a recipe or success.
Instead, as you go about the business of your day, why not have a little bit of YOU tucked in your back pocket?
Do you have a hobby? Do you need to send a note to a loved one? Are you working your way through a romance novel?
Your goal should be to find small breaks between your focus at work to be YOU for a few minutes before getting back to work. Two things will happen:
1) You’ll get more done. I promise.
2) You’ll be living your authentic self.
No matter what you find yourself doing today, YOU are still YOU. Be a happier warrior and bring yourself to every challenge.

How To Completely Change Your Life - The Easy Way
Have you been running full speed ahead - knowing you’re not heading in the right direction?
It’s easy to get caught up in the business of life and find yourself off track.
Could your experience could be better?
It comes down to awareness and decisions:
1) Everything begins when you recognize that something needs to change - and admit it to yourself. Is the time now?
2) Driving forward will only add to unhappiness. Instead, keep up with life and push the pause button on everything else—no pulling or pushing. You are only pausing.
3) During this time, work your way back to YOU. There’s no hurry. You may have been off-track for a long time.
4) Remember your dreams. Now that you have space, it’s time to explore how everything fits into your life today - and your future. Begin to take action in any direction that makes you happy.
Once you find enjoyment, accept it, and defend it with all your energy. Spend the rest of your days bringing more into your life.

How To Make Sure You Are Living With Gratitude
Here we are again, approaching the end of the year. It is a time when you may find your mindset taking on a feeling of gratitude. This year more than ever. What a wild ride it has been!
Simply put, gratitude is the state of being grateful. It is also a two-way street:
1) When you are appreciative of what you have received, you have gratitude. That’s the only way that you can expect to get more of what you want.
2) When you express gratitude for what you have received, you are living in a grateful state? The only way others know how you feel is to tell them - right?
Receiving and expressing gratitude requires few words. With practice, it requires even less thought. There’s no better way to make your day better than living will gratitude in your heart. Especially when you make sure the world knows it.

What Kind of Success Action Are You Taking?
Are you a motivated individual? You’ve heard the secret to getting what you want to take action. But what kind of action?
Do you choose “Massive IMPERFECT Action” focused on your goal? Willing to do whatever it takes and clean up your mess when you finish?
Do you choose “How Bad Do You Want It Action” to fuel your efforts?
Do you choose “I Better Do it or Else” ACTION because you see the pain coming if you don’t?
Do you choose “You Better Do It or Else” because somebody else will bring the pain?
Do you choose “I’m Waiting to See What Happens” ACTION and put your fate in something else?
Do you choose “I’m Not Going to Do Anything” ACTION because you don’t know what to do?
Whether your action is passive or active; there is a reward or penalty. You may as well select the one that serves you best.

Tidy Up Your Day
No matter how busy your day gets, there are always two things that will improve any day.
First, seek to learn one good thing each day that will make you a better person. You will likely need to carve out a dedicated time to make that happen, but it's worth it. It's time to become the person you are meant to be. Not only will you be happier, but all the other challenges of the day will also become much more manageable.
And since you never know how long you will walk on this planet, be sure to tidy up your day. Making an effort never to have any loose ends provides peace of mind. It also makes for a good night's sleep.
Mindlessly going through your day is for amateurs. Mindfulness is how you make sure every day fulfills your purpose.
How would you like to learn the key takeaways and need to know information from the best selling books in less than 15 minutes?
