How to gain momentum quickly in 2021

leadership strategy Jan 14, 2021

The beginning of a new year is an artificially defined milestone we love to take as a trigger for a new start. Energy flows where the focus goes, and in this sense, it is good to have a focus on making this New Year a successful one. 

However, much of the energy and many of our hopes and plans of the early days of the year quickly vanish.

The root cause is that success comes from repetition, perseverance and courage, not from a fierce, yet short fire. 

So the question is: what can we do to kickstart the New Year in a way that makes it a lasting success, in your business and for yourself? Here are 3 answers: 
  1. Define the ONE big goal you MUST achieve within 12 months, both for business and your private life. Be ambitious and specific. Maybe you want to triple your revenue. Or sell your company. Or get married (again). Or relocate to the country of your dreams. Write these goals down.
  2. Define three areas you need to change substantially to achieve this big goal. If you don’t need to change anything substantially then your goal is not ambitious enough. For instance, to triple your revenue you must 10x the number of prospects, create and market five new products and double your staff.
  3. Define the key changes for the next 30 days. What will you do differently already in January? This is key. Our brain has no inherent capability to anticipate 12 months into the future. That’s why so many people (also in business) procrastinate when it comes to change: it is just too far away for our subconscious mind. The solution: define an action that moves you towards your goals every day and make it a habit. 
Step 3 is the most difficult, yet crucial.

More often than not, high achievers have a coach for that reason. What better time than now to start your year with a coach who will help you make this year the best year ever for you and your business? Interested? Click here for my coaching programs.
