I always love the patented New Years resolution. It’s interesting that every year we wait until January to make a new promise to ourselves. Maybe it’s be a better person, quit smoking, loose weight or just make more money. The problem with New Years resolutions is not the resolution itself, but the commitment that needs to come with them.
I always find it interesting that January I can’t find a single spot to park at my health club which had spots available all year long. But come February the parking lot is empty again? Why is that? Just one month ago these individuals vowed to change their life and now they have changed their mind? Is it possible that they thought it over and discovered it was a bad idea to get in shape?
The answer is NO it was just time for the commitment end of the bargain to kick in and they weren’t committed.
It’s a lot like our business model network marketing not to be confused with NOTwork marketing. The facts are 1000’s of people have changed their lives financially forever do to this GREAT industry. Yet many people believe there is some kind of magical secret or special plan that makes only a certain amount of people successful. Which is ridiculous.
When you decide to change your life wither it be in your health or financially you must first decide what your going to do and then commit to achieving it.
People don’t have success in anything they do without having an unshakable commitment to what they are doing. Every year I set goals for myself both in the financial aspect and the health aspect of my life. Then I write down what I’m willing to do or sacerfice in order to achieve this goal or New Years resolution if you want to call it that.
Everyday I remind myself how important my goal is and I stay committed to having success in achieving it. I don’t let the first obstacle or person that wants to distract me from goal get in my way.
In order to change your life you must be willing to change your bad habits of not following through, especially when it comes to achieving your dreams.
This year when the clock strikes midnight make a promise to yourself to keep the promises you make to yourself. This is your year to change your life and change the lives around you.
This year commit to yourself to follow through.
