The new year is upon us. Out with the old, in with the new. It’s time to make some long-needed changes in order for you to get you what you’ve been on the hunt for. So, what exactly will change?
1. Your
Thinking
Yourself. Stop saying “should” or “need to.” Just do what must be done. Forget the past, set goals for the future, but live in the present and execute daily, in mind and body, whatever needs to be done.
2.
Your Network
You are only as good as who you know. Get to
know more people. Everyone has value. Even better, pursue connections with
those who could be helpful to you in achieving your goals. Whether online, in
person, by phone, or by mail -- connect!
3.
Your Resources
Be willing to invest more time, money, and
mindshare into your writing career. Outsource to others what you can’t or won’t
do/ Grow your writing business now!
4.
Your Tolerance For Risk
You will need to take risks, experiment, and be
willing to sacrifice one thing for another. There’s no playing it safe if you
want to advance far and fast.
5.
Your Schedule
Pretty simple solution here -- alter how you
spend your time. We each get 168 hours a week. How will you budget your time to
maximize efficiency and success? Put everything up for discussion. What will
free-up your time to do what you know needs to get done?
6.
Your Habits
Change what you do, how you do it, and how much
you do it. If you spend 20 minutes a day on marketing, push it to 30. If you
blog twice a month, shift to weekly. Be disciplined, determined, and deliberate
in your efforts.
7.
Your Skills
If you learn more and acquire new skills or brush up on old ones, you can accomplish more and do things that you don’t have to pay others to do. Lifetime learning is what we all must do and learning how to write, edit, market, and promote better is your task for life.
May this year bring you joy, love, peace,
health, and happiness. And may it be the year to jumpstart your writing career
in a way that you revolutionize what you do and accomplish.
