February is a BIG month! I believe it’s big because January is “done and dusted,” as they say, and so I’d like to circle back to our goals. How are you fairing? Did you successfully complete “Dry January,” if that was your thing? Are you still going to the gym, if that was your thing. Are you waking up early, not spending as much money, or managing your time better? What did you say you would do in 2025 and are you still doing it?

If your January wasn’t as successful as you had wished—do not worry! I have failed at MANY of my goals over the years for many reasons—and some of the reasons were really good ones! Life happens and sometimes it’s not even life, it’s just us—we’re human, after all. The ultimate goal in accomplishing goals is not necessarily to be flawless, but some years we are, and kudos to us! The ultimate goal is to become the person that gets really good at accomplishing goals—because that person is unstoppable!

So, it’s February 3rd, let’s do a full goal reset. Where are we? Where do we want to go? And how are we going to get there? I have said this to many audiences, virtual and in-person, and it drives this point home: If I gave you a fabulous boat in the Mediterranean for a week, all expenses paid, what would you do? Would you pull up the anchor and let the boat drift to wherever the current wanted to take you, or would you immediately plot a course to Positano, or Capri, or Crete? Exactly! You’d plot a course, and that’s exactly what goal setting is!

Let’s GO! WE GOT THIS!
