"New Year New Me?"

Alas we have arrived at the end of December. The end of December every year marks the time when many people make pledges to both themselves and the world (via social media). The typical pledge is that the new year will be different from the last 40 and they will make a drastic change in many areas. What are the big 3 old songs on repeat year after year and how do we move forward from talking to just doing it?

The first Old Ass Song I’m sick of is “I’m going to get in shape and lead a clean healthy lifestyle” this is the time when everyone joins Planet Fitness or some other local gym. These new health warriors often go to the gym for about 3 weeks and after that they are never seen again.
The next Old Ass Song stuck on repeat is “I’m going to pursue my dream” alas this is all just fluff. Unfortunately, many of those people have such little faith in both themselves and a higher power that they last about 3 days into this journey of success.

The next Old Ass Song skipping on the record is “I’m going to get financially fit”, well you guessed it just like the last 2 songs they don’t follow through with this either. This along with song number 1 are by far the saddest of the to Old Songs, they are the saddest because one can hire a professional to assist them in both areas (PERSONAL TRAINER AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR).

Are you one of these people? Have you been a person that has not followed through with your plan? If you are don’t feel bad you are not alone, one must understand that there is nothing wrong with hiring a professional to assist you with achieving your goals. Fear of the unknown is something that keeps us from acting on a set goal. This is why it is important to not only set the goal but to attack that goal in the best way you can. My suggestion is if you want to get physically fit, hire a personal trainer they can at minimum get you on the right track to health which will get rid of some of those fears your may have. If you have ambitions to launch a successful business, I suggest getting with a business owner that is successful in the space you are trying to enter and allowing them to show you the ropes. If you know you need to get your finances in order, whether it may be planning for retirement or simply planning for a large purchase, I suggest getting a competent financial advisor that can assist you with achieving your goals.
