Summary

Half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions each year – but how many succeed? According to a study conducted by the University of Scranton and published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only EIGHT PERCENT of people who set resolutions will actually succeed in implementing them. Today, we want to share why we believe that so many people fail – and the ONE thing you can do to be successful in making the changes you want to make this year. In this episode, you will learn... [2:45] Why most people aren’t successful in implementing their resolutions. [5:40] Why does it matter if you get in better shape, get more organized, or spend less (three of the most common resolutions)? [6:30] How to get clear on the WHY and PURPOSE behind your goals. [11:30] Why your time blocking needs to reflect your priorities. [13:30] What motivates people. [18:00] What you can do to turn a resolution into a habit. [22:45] ONE tip for becoming part of the 8% who succeed. The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: So, where do you get started?
