Summary
“Resolutions don’t work; you have to work.” — Brian Buffini
Studies show fewer people set New Year’s resolutions now than ever before. Why? They feel resolutions don’t work. It’s not enough to have the intention; you have to put the work in as well. In this episode, Brian Buffini explains why this is the case and outlines three steps to take to launch your year in the right direction toward success. You’ll learn the importance of making decisions, the one thing successful people do to help them achieve their S.M.A.R.T. goals, why forward momentum begins with one step, and why it’s important to get help along the way. By the end of the episode, you’ll be inspired to set goals and motivated to achieve them in 2018.
