You probably already listed your 2021 resolutions. However, bearing in mind how 2020 went, you're wondering how you can still have those resolutions in place regardless of how this year pans out.
Not to worry, here is everything you need to know:
1. Focus on goals, not obstacles
This is the time to meet the goals you couldn't last year. Indeed, the pandemic is not yet over, but we have learnt enough to re-strategize. You now know that opening an online shop can be better than having a physical one for various reasons.
So, go ahead and start that business, apply for that job, enroll in that course, and keep your mind focused on what you want to achieve.
Obstacles are there to strengthen you. When you encounter one, rise and keep going till you accomplish your goal. Remember, there is no success story without struggles along the way.
Don't let the obstacles define you. Instead, show them that you are stronger than them.
2. Just start with what you have.
There is no need to keep waiting if you already have enough to start. The biggest mistake you can ever make is trying to start big when you don't have all it takes.
Passion and experience are not enough if for instance your venture requires funds to start.
Here is a tip; do not start with debt. Just begin small. Begin with what you have and you can expand in the future.
3. Plan for both best- and worst-case scenarios
Most of us failed to accomplish our 2020 goals because we did not plan for a worst-case scenario. There lesson here is to ensure you always have a backup plan in case things go south.
Also, have a plan on how you will handle your best-case scenario.
Success can be overwhelming.
I have seen people go insane when they became successful. Some have lost everything as soon as they got to the top because they didn't plan for it.
Ensure you plan for any possible outcomes.
4. Have a vision board
No one knows what tomorrow holds.
A vision board is a hope that anyone on their way to success must have. A vision board will help you know when you are falling and what you can do to stand up again. Have your mission, vision, and core values. No matter how difficult it gets, never go against them.
Do not compromise on your principles to achieve your goals.
Be authentic and you will receive the respect you deserve.
The vision board is just a guide and a reminder to keep working hard towards your goal. Nothing can stop you if you have a good plan and prepare for the outcomes.
5. Start ASAP
Procrastinate at your own risk!
Your success lies in your hands and how aggressive you are.
People fear starting because of self-doubt. There is that fear of the unknown that tells you that you are not ready.
Be strong and courageous and prove yourself so that other people can also believe in you.
Remember, you create your brand, and people will only buy you if you give them a reason.
I wish you all a prosperous 2021
