How Picking a Theme Helps You Achieve Your Business Goals
‘Tis the season to set new goals for the new year. But did you know that 80% of goals set on New Year’s are never realized? For entrepreneurs, often the inspiration for a goal isn’t anchored with a commitment and as urgent issues crop up throughout the year, it’s easy for New Year’s goals to get pushed to the back of your mind.
But let’s make this next round of goals stick. Before you finalize your goals, pick a theme so that the goals you set become a powerful compass for your decisions, habits, and mindset.
To close out 2021 with Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 263, I’m re-airing an episode of #NextLevelInfluence that I co-host with Samantha Riley (Host of Influence by Design Podcast), to show us how to create a personal brand that gives us freedom as we evolve.
