Here we are. In 2022. Hoping, I suppose, that’s all we can do, is a better year than some of the previous years we’ve had.
Let’s be honest. We just want a bit of normality. We just want it to be stable, no drama – and letting us enjoy time with friends and family.
So, my Friday Thought, is in line with ‘The Out and Abouter’ who recently tweeted – let 2022 be like a Toyota Corolla.
Happy New Year!
Hope you had a nice Christmas and a lovely start to 2022!
And following on from my previous blog post – you may have set some new goals and objectives for 2022. Whatever they might be, hope that you are successful.
Hope. What a word. In fact, to share with you – I received a book for Christmas which I’m currently reading. It’s the follow up to, ‘the subtle art of not giving a f*ck’. This one is called, Everything is f*cked. So far, great read! Anyway – back to goals… and in fact, I don’t ‘hope’ you achieve and accomplish them… because you’ve got to plan to achieve them!
So, I recently shared an excellent article via my Linkedin profile – all about taking your big goal… and then breaking it down to monthly achievements.
Here’s a link to the article – https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/410602
One thing that I loved about the article was the ability to breakdown your goal (and be ambitious) to monthly goals. It’s simple when you think about it, right? – for example.. you wouldn’t eat a whole cake at once… you’d most probably slice it up! then consume a slice at a time.
And likewise with your goal – break it down…
What I’d love to hear from you is what your main goal is for 2022?
What is it, that you’d like to achieve?
I’ve written my goal on my wall. I’m now in the process of breaking it down per month. And then, I’m holding myself accountable by sharing these monthly goals with a few close friends – so, we have a quick call at the end of the month, and I have to report back to them – how well (or not) I’m progressing – and any corrective action I need to take.
This is all simple stuff really. But putting it into action is the hardest.
Oh, and if you’re unsure what goal you should have… I refer to my previous blog post. What do you enjoy? What do you like? What is your passion? and work on that…
And if allowed in 2022 (depending on restrictions etc… because of covid), I’ll be holding some Ted-type talks! We were meant to hold them in November 2021, but unfortunately, we couldn’t due to a number of issues. We’ll overcome them. And if you’d like to come, listen and grasp a few golden nuggets of information… stay tuned to my blog posts and I’ll keep you updated!
On that note…. write down your goals, enjoy that cup of coffee and share what you’re going to do with me!
What change would you like to see?
Change doesn’t come easy.
You have to work hard for it. Push for it.
It’s all about wanting a better, a different tomorrow.
What challenges are you facing?
Sometimes, we feel we need everything now. Or as soon as possible. And when we don’t get it… we start to ask a series of questions – a bit of 5 Why Analysis….
When all we sometimes need is a little patience.
We need to reflect. Understand. And progress. Keep moving. Don’t stop…. Keep pushing and delivering. And if you’re good enough… (taken from Gary V.)
My Friday thought today is reflecting on where you want to be, what your ambitions are, what your passion is… and then making the right decisions today – on where you want to be.
There’s so many people I knew, when I was younger, who worked 9 til 5, 5 days a week… for all of their. Until retirement.
I always, from a young age… thought that was crazy! Imagine 40+ years… doing the same thing… maybe a little variety… for such a long time! Well… it works for some! Some like that life. And maybe, they are happy with it, and that’s absolutely fine!
For me however… I like to keep learning. Keep pushing…. Keep editing,
Whilst we’re all (well, most of us in the World) are under some sort of ‘lockdown’, I’m sure many of us are thinking… what can we do?!
Well… I’m sure we’ve all had an idea at some point or another, but either not had the time or the money… or another excuse to put it into motion.
Well…. why not start small (i.e. no money)… and you now have time! Take some motivation form my Friday Thought image… these guys started in their garages, sheds…. and look what happened…. All you need, is a little bit of space, time and some motivation…….
What is it you do on a daily basis? – because whatever it is… it’s building your future… and if you want a different future, you know what you got to change….
This week I tweeted, how I was annoyed.. because someone I help, and have helped a lot previously… hasn’t been responsive and not helped me when I needed it!
Lesson learnt…. don’t help them in the future! But in all seriousness… I shouldn’t give all my attention to those who annoy me.
