A Cool Way To Focus Your Efforts This Year

Posted January 16, 2020

This year, I decided to change up my approach to setting and achieving my goals by doing one simple thing;

Create a theme that I’m going to focus on this year!

The theme came so easy because it is based on a quote that people have been posting (to no end) on the “interwebs”;

Be brave enough to suck at something new!

This phrase cuts to the core for me because this, in a nutshell, is why we abandon the new things we need to do;

To kick ass this year!

Seriously, the first sign of discomfort and;

We’re tapping out!

That’s why the average person abandons their goals so quickly;

Because they don’t like the feeling of discomfort that comes with;

SUCKING At Something New!

So far, I’m sucking at lot’s of new things this year and;

While, I’m not liking the discomfort, I’m liking the new learning muscles I’m developing.

A partial list of new things I suck at;

LinkedIn Video

Working my YouTube plan

Utilizing more native social media posts versus links.

In the weeks to come, there will be more things that I suck at, because I will be adding new action items, but;

Hopefully I won’t suck at these things anymore, and;

I’ll promise you this right now;

I plan on feeling really F’n amazing come year end, knowing;

That I continued even though I was really uncomfortable with that whole;

Sucking at something new thing!

This is how we get better ladies and gentlemen;

This is how we GROW!

This is how we create a year to be proud of!
