With a new year upon us, folks everywhere are making all sorts of “New Year’s Resolutions” or “Wish Lists.” Subconsciously, we all see the new calendar and think of January 1st every year as a Fresh Start or a New Beginning.
Why can’t EVERY day be a fresh start?
It’s a well known fact that by the 15th of January…folks who haven’t made any progress with their resolutions have quit altogether.
So how do you break the cycle of broken resolutions?
What’s the alternative?
Let me take you back to 2006.
When I left my 18 year career as a medical professional in 2006, I had no idea what I was going to do. I knew I needed to take some time to evaluate my life. Interesting enough, the Universe sent a very special person who saw something in me, I never saw in myself.
In this brief video, I share with you how to accomplish anything you set your mind to by simply using this very effective mindset strategy.
When choosing a New Year’s resolution, be certain it is something that is Pulling you, as opposed to Pushing you.
Have you resolved to go to the gym every day, but when you think about going, you dread it and you find an excuse not to?
Have you resolved to give up sugar but whenever you see cheesecake you just have to have it?
These are examples of resolutions that are “PUSHING” you to do something. Push requires willpower and willpower never lasts.
What you need is something that will PULL you, to DO better, and to BE better.
Choose something that gets you so excited you cannot sleep. This is something that becomes a part of your every day practice.
It’s your passion…it becomes part of your essence.
It has to be something so compelling that you know it’s going to be a gift when it happens. You also have to have strong enough reasons to continue and follow through when the going gets tough.
It becomes part of your every day focus & vision. Perhaps not as easy to accomplish, but once you gain momentum and make progress you are more likely to stick with it.
Is it to quit your job and finally have an alternative income that allows you more time freedom with your family?
Let me give you an example of what happened to me a few times.
As many of you know, I have been making a full time income online since 2009. In those first few years when I may have slacked off, money became scarce. Working from home can make you complacent, as you don’t have a boss watching over you constantly. You need to be self motivated.
The thought of going back to a “real job,” punching a clock, and having a boss analyzing my every move scared me more than anything I could ever imagine. Just the thought of waking up to a SCREAMING alarm clock put me into a panic. I immediately put things back into HIGH GEAR and crushed my online business.
These are the resolutions you need to be making. Make a resolution with such a clear vision it wakes you up in the middle of the night, eager for daylight so you can get right to work on whatever it is you hunger for.
So find something that PULLS you, create a vision, believe in yourself, take action, see results, review it every day and I guarantee the cycle of “Broken” New Year’s Resolutions will cease to exist.
You are a unique and amazing person my friend. You are blessed with many talents and gifts to share with the world.
My wish for you is to be that person – The World is waiting for your greatness. ?
Blessings & Abundance,

How many of you struggle every day to get out of bed because you feel like you don’t really have a purpose and are frustrated with your life? Some days the world may seem very bleak and it takes every ounce of energy for you to get through the day.
Not too long ago, I have to admit my life was in a permanent circling pattern and it really stunk. If you are like anyone else, at one time or another, you have experienced some sort of anxiety and uncertainty in your life. It slows your progression toward your life goals and can be downright debilitating.
High School back in the 1980’s was a blast. Yes, you heard correctly, the 1980’s. 🙂 Every day was an adventure of learning, laughing, (at times detention) and building life long friendships.
You’ve probably said it yourself and didn’t really believe it: the old saying that behind every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. It’s hard to have much faith in that advice when that cloud is dumping buckets of rain on your parade. But, sure enough, it wasn’t long until the rain stopped and you were walking in sunshine again.
