New Year, New Resolve!

I know lots of people are spending time getting their resolutions together for 2022. A new year is an opportunity to become a new you, but I want to reorient your thinking around this concept of resolutions. I want to challenge you to get some resolve about three things that you are going to focus on this year. You might want to pick one personal goal (Travel, weight loss, credit repair, etc.), or one reach business goal (Pick a company you want to work with or the number of new customers you want by June 2022) or a relationship goal (Do you need to build some new business relationships, find a mastermind group, or want to find someone to love.)?

I’ll share one of my goals that I’ve resolved. I decided this year, I’m no longer keeping stuff I don’t need. I have an ungodly amount of coffee mugs and water bottles hanging around my house. I boxed them up New Year’s Day, but them in my car, and the box will go to the Good Will this week. What are you tired of tolerating? Make your list and cross off your goals as you get them done.

This week’s featured post is designed to get you set up right in the new year with your sales efforts, How to Win Big and Boost Sales in 2022?.
