Now that the Year is Brand New ??

Hey friend,

Happy New Year!! Welcome to 2024 ??

Thank you for 2023, sincerely.?

I started writing to you in August last year (feels good to call 2023 last year btw) and 5 months later, over 750 people including you trusted me enough to hit the “Subscribe” button.

Every new year comes with not only new but exciting possibilities. You probably feel motivated and have made a list of goals to achieve both in your personal and professional lives.

Asides being SMART (like we likely already know) a good goal is often also audacious, aspirational and challenging.

But studies show that only 9 out of 100 people follow through on their New Year’s resolutions. 9%!?

Now that the year is brand new, we are going to pledge to execution (You have to be in the number)

Talk is cheap, the game is in the doing.

Activities can be loud, but rewards are in the results.

Do you often have trouble with executing your goals? How do you plan to be different this year??

My inbox is open if you need some directions.

For today, I’ll leave you with my heartfelt goodwill:

I pray this year you feel less pressured - pressure is actually counterproductive and makes you feel handicapped as opposed to capable?

I pray this year you OWN your forte - You get the necessary skills and experience you need to boost your confidence?

Most importantly, I pray this year you be kind to yourself. Not measuring up to other people’s standards, but finding joy in what feels like purpose.?

Have a wonderful celebration today.

Thanks for reading this article!
