The Simple Steps to Reaching Your Goals and Making This Year Your Best Yet

Every year millions (maybe even billions) of people dream about the year’s possibilities. Many will decide that something must change, set New Year’s resolutions or goals, and start after them with much enthusiasm but often without much of a plan. Without a plan and implementing strategies that help boost your chances of success, weeks and months can whiz by without your meaningful progress. And that’s a recipe for failure, which is why year after year, fewer than 92% of people actually achieve their goals.

I want to help you be among the 8% of people who DO achieve (or even exceed) your goals this year! I’ve outlined the simple steps to get you there in this post. Plus, I help you organize you goals and dreams and track your progress toward successfully hitting them with the easy-but-powerful Your Best Year Yet Success Planner that you can grab now for free.

How To Shift Your Financial Focus if You're Struggling with Money

When you’re in debt or struggling with money, it can nearly consume you. Your money struggles can become what you think about morning, noon and night. And while you need to be financially responsible by dealing with the negative situation you may be in, if you want to break free from a tough financial situation, you can’t let it trap your focus to the point you aren’t able to focus on building prosperity.

So many people are so focused on reducing their debt and trying to save money that they give little positive attention to increasing their financial abundance, and, thus, the downward spiral continues. Here’s how to shift your focus fast and finally turn things around.

How to Save Your Sinking Business

If every startup or entrepreneurial venture were a success, then the world would be full even more weird and wonderful businesses than it already is. However, it’s a well-known fact that the chances of a new business failing are higher than those of it succeeding, but that doesn’t keep tens of thousands of people every year from giving entrepreneurship a go every year. With that being said, it kind of makes sense to know what happens when a business goes bust and what you can save your sinking business in the first place so if you ever find yourself in either of these situations, you’ll know what to do so it doesn’t destroy your life and ruin the chances of starting any future businesses.

How to Get Unstuck and Move Forward Fast

Have you ever been faced with making a tough choice and felt overwhelmed by the process of simply making a decision? 

Or not clear on which path is the “right” one for you now?

One of the biggest blocks to making a decision is the fear of making the wrong one. We’re afraid a decision that we make is going to somehow turn into Armageddon for our lives and it’s going to be the worst decision we’ve ever made. Then we’d have to deal with not only the terrible consequences but feeling ashamed and embarrassed that we made the “wrong” choice.

And that’s exactly what held me back for a long time… until I decided not to let it anymore.

Here are the steps that help me get unstuck and confidently move forward with the right decision for me.

The 3 Big Offer Mistakes That Repel Your Dream Clients and Keep You Struggling

Getting clients. Making sales. It’s the cornerstone to making any business work.

Yet so many businesses are getting the key piece to doing this totally wrong. Or they’re doing it poorly but don’t recognize what’s causing them to struggle to bring in new clients.

What’s this key missing piece? A compelling offer (aka, your messaging) that grabs your dream clients by their eyeballs.

Whether you’re making your offer in person, over the phone or via your website, there are three big offer mistakes that cause dream clients to click away, say “no” or run screaming in the other direction (or all three). If you’re having problems booking clients or selling your products, the first thing you should look at is how you’re communicating your offer.

In this article, you will learn what to focus on in your sales conversation so that your clients will be encouraged to sign up to your program, how to connect with what your clients need from you, and finally, how to communicate with your clients so they’ll be more than willing to pay for your services, even at higher fees.

Why You're Not Selfish or Greedy for Charging More

Why You're Not Selfish or Greedy for Charging More

“It’s better to give than to receive.”

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

“Rich people are greedy / bad / selfish.”

I bet you heard at least one of these common sayings growing up, and maybe you even believe it.

But that’s a BIG problem if you’re an entrepreneur or you simply want to attract more money and abundance into your life. Associating money with greed, selfishness or general “badness” puts you at odds with the inherent urge you have to be a “good” person. And where there’s inner conflict, there are muddled outcomes.

It’s my belief that it serves the world when you charge enough money for you to not only stay in business but also thrive. 

Otherwise, your business won’t be around to help the people who want and need want you offer.

The truth is that you are not selfish or greedy for charging more in your business. In this article I cover why you deserve to be paid high rates, why it’s important to be charging more than less, and how to position yourself in the market so you can attract your dream clients, even at higher fees. 

Let’s dive right in!

The Easier Way to Reach Your Big Goals

The Easier Way to Reach Your Big Goals

When you think about what you want to accomplish over the next 12 months, what are big dreams and goals you have for yourself, your business and your family? Are you dreaming of having a different job? Of launching your own coarse? Working with dozens of amazing new clients? Or finally hitting the coveted six-figure mark in income?

Your big dreams may seem so far out of reach that the idea of going about actually making them happen makes your head spin. Even the act of writing down what you think needs to happen can feel overwhelming at first. Where people can get tripped up is that without a plan to make the goals happen, you’re really just wishing for something to happen instead of taking action to actually make it happen. That’s why creating your plan step-by-step is so important because without that structure, you can get off track and never reach your goals or dreams. This is also why so many people set the same goals and resolutions over and over each year because they lack the plan to make them happen.

But creating a plan to make your big dreams and goals happen doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. Once you determine the smaller steps you need to take to get there, it becomes practical, achievable and realistic for you to actually reach your goals and make your big dreams happen.

Here’s how to create a plan that makes doing it a lot easier.

The Steps to Manifesting More of What You Want

You seem to be doing everything right. You put in long hours, you work hard and you take action, but things aren’t happening like you want them to.

If you’re an entrepreneur, maybe you’re just not booking enough clients or bringing in enough money, so you’re struggling to stay in business.

When you’re getting a bunch of what you don’t want, how can you turn it around and start manifesting more of what you want? Here’s what you need to do to start doing it now.
