27 Ways to Make 2021 Your Best Year Yet!

I'm not really into resolutions so much. I do have some favorite ideas about how to have an awesome year.

So here are a few of my favorite ideas (in no particular order) for making 2021 YOUR BEST YEAR YET!

  1. Fewer resolutions. More resolve.

  2. Increase your daily level of optimism. AMAZING things will start to happen! 

  3. Be a lamp. Or a lifeboat. Or a ladder. 

  4. Mean people suck. Don't become one of them. Not even for a second.

  5. Be more gracious and more grateful. Practice daily gratitude.

  6. Less excitement. More execution.

  7. Let it go. Yes, you know EXACTLY what I mean. 

  8. Join a mastermind alliance or find an accountability partner. It will make all the difference.

  9. Drink more water.

  10. Follow the "Oxygen Mask Principle": In case of emergency, secure your own mask before assisting others.  

  11. Clean up. De-clutter. De-pile. (I love this one and re-organized my office. It flows better now and feels great).

  12. Thank abundantly and practice "The Rampage of Appreciation".  

  13. Carry a notebook everywhere. Got an idea? Write it down. With today's date. And a "next action" step. Repeat.

  14. Get more sleep. (This one is really important.)

  15. Do more of what makes you happy and operate in your Zone of Unique Ability/Genius.

  16. Want to get better results and have more clarity and freedom? Get my new guide, "CEO's Daily 5 Minute Mindset Guide". (Yes, it's free).

  17. "If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough." ~ Mario Andretti

  18. Read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. A timeless classic.  

  19. Read "The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield. 
    Note: I have read them both many times and use them regularly.

  20. Master your inbox once and for all. Massive freedom will follow. 

  21. Tap into trends to generate more and better ideas for both your business and your life. (Read this to see how Harvard Business Review connects trend hunting with sales success, too.)

  22. Stop worrying about the HOW. Focus on your bigass WHY and a small set of very specific WHATs. The rest will take care of itself. Honest.

  23. Become more in tune with the time/space continuum. Seriously. Rather than wanting everything to happen "Now, now, and now" (which only causes overwhelm and frustration) focus more consistently on what you need to do "Next, next, and next." Chunk it down and get moving.

  24. Three factors to your long-term success: 1. Your Authenticity 2. Your Expertise 3. Your Enthusiasm.

  25. Reflect on the shortness of life. And pack as much goodness as you possibly can (for you and for others) into every single day. (I speak from experience here).

  26. Always pick up the check and leave a big tip. 

  27. It's game time... Bring it!

Until next time!
