Have a Safe, Happy and Productive New Year!!

We all say it! Happy New Year! Have a Great Year! We all make goals and plan on making it the best year ever. Statistics show that most people don’t achieve their New Years resolutions and have given up on them by January 12th. So how do you break that cycle. How can you actually make 2022 the best year yet?

Most people aren’t sitting around doing nothing so when they make goals they are adding to an already impossible schedule. One of the important things to being successful with your goals is creating a plan and a way to actually have the time to work on your goals.

One of the first things that you might want to consider is creating a clean slate. There are so many things in our lives that we have to do. Those things can’t be cut from our schedule. However, there are a lot of things in our lives that we do that can be delegated or given to an assistant to clear time in our schedules. There are also things that we can stop doing. Have you ever made a stop doing list?

What are the time wasters in your life? What is keeping you from being successful? Is it the next big game? Or are you just going to get caught up on your favorite show? Or do you find yourself caught in the never ending scroll? Do you aimlessly watch TV or surf the internet to calm down after a busy day? How much time do you lose doing each of those things? Why don’t you find out this week and track them? Once you have identified the time wasters then you can replace them with things that will help you achieve your goals this upcoming year. If the activity isn’t pushing you towards your goal, then maybe you should consider postponing it until you have achieved your goal.

However, you can’t achieve your goals if you don’t know what they are. You don’t want to set to many goals. If you set up to 3 goals that you can really focus on you are more likely to achieve them. Once you have selected a goal, then you need to decide what 3-4 things you can do differently this year to achieve that goal. This is how you will make this year different.

Let’s say that you want to improve your marketing to potential self-storage sellers. Start by evaluating what advertising you are doing now. Is it working? If not, what can you change? What can you add to it? Are you talking to people you know about self-storage? Do they know people in the business? Are you doing direct marketing to self-storage owners? If you don’t know what to do, learn! There are a lot of great tips on this blog and many other blogs as well. If you don’t know how to achieve your goal, research it.

There is always time to make a change, you just have to start on that change today. May 2022 be a fantastic new year for you. As always, happy investing.
