Quit Failing with Your New Year’s Resolutions

What’s your New Year’s Resolution?

Many people fail to complete their New Year’s Resolutions. They create resolutions that are too difficult to complete in a time that makes it worth continuing.

They choose things like “I want to get skinny,” “I want to quit smoking,” or “I want to pay off the house,” and because the resolutions are so broad and significant, they often result in incomplete resolutions come the next New Year.

Is there a winning ticket for setting a New Year’s Resolution, then?

Yes. You can win at it by setting smaller resolutions that are more easily achievable and making them geared toward completing a much larger resolution. Your large resolution can be getting skinny, but your smaller achievable ones are losing 5 pounds in January or not eating candy for a week. Instead of quitting smoking, focus on smoking less than half of your normal amount each week. Instead of focusing on paying off the house, focus on getting a specific amount of debt from the house paid each month based on the extra money you can afford to put towards the bill.

Break your Big New Year’s Resolution into smaller resolutions to achieve something that requires little effort.

You can apply this same concept to business, marketing campaigns, or building your personal brand online.

Don’t focus on one BIG goal that will be difficult to achieve if you don’t work your backside off. Instead, focus on easily achievable goals that can lead to achieving your much larger goal.

If you can achieve your New Year’s Resolution, you can achieve your business goal.
