On September 1st there will be 122 days left of the year. That’s 122 days to press the reset button on your business, and 122 days left to reach your goals.
It’s easy to feel defeated at this point, especially when things haven’t gone exactly how we wanted them to this year. My advice? It’s time to reset! Let’s get to work on you and your business. Why wait until January for self-improvement?
I want to give you a few simple tips to follow, and you should find yourself being more proactive and successful:
Commit to Your Goal
Without commitment and dedication, you will not achieve your goals – there’s no other way around it. If you are finding it hard to commit to a goal, then go back and figure out exactly what is the problem.
Is the goal too far-fetched? Have you identified the goal correctly? Or do you simply just lack the necessary motivation to accomplish it?
Remember to start as you mean to go on and write your goals down so you have some form of accountability!
Think Positive
It sounds cliché but the power of positive thinking has benefits beyond belief. Positive thinkers are better at coping with stress, have stronger immunity and even a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that?
Why not try a self-affirming mantra to help you during the challenges of achieving your goals? Now repeat after me – you are your own superhero!
Reflect
Give yourself a few minutes each day, week and month to go over your plan. Try to establish what you have learnt, figure out what went well and what didn’t. Doing so will help you to better prepare for the future.
Remember that your plan is not set in stone, it’s there to give you a guiding hand. If what you have planned isn’t working for you, change it!
Take it one small step at a time if you need to, just be conscious of how you feel and what you are doing with your time.
Take Action
Even I am bored of saying this now! But facts are facts – those that take action succeed.
If it’s fear of failure that is holding you back, then I must tell you that those who act even when they are really unsure are the most admirable and courageous.
If you want it enough, go and get it. You started for a reason, please remind yourself of that!
Conclusion
So, let’s face our back-to-work-anxiety square in the face! You’ve got this, it’s time you believed in yourself. Let’s make this September the most productive January we’ve ever had!
