Whatever You Do, Don’t

. . . make any New Year’s Resolutions.

They. Don’t. Work.

The whole thing is an artificial construct that only makes you feel about yourself (and gives you a bad impression of goal-setting and achievement).

What should you do instead?

Well, you shouldn’t do anything. (Do things because you clearly and authentically want to do them.)

If you want to get clear on what you want and what’s getting in your way, get a coach.

Maybe me . . . I’m a coach. And I offer free* coaching sessions to help people get clear on what they want and what they need to do to create what they want.

****

* Why “free?” Because I want to 1) help people and 2) I won’t know if we’re a good fit unless we actually talk – and do some actual coaching.

    Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint. – Emerson Yes, I am riffing off the recent political meme in the post title. (“Never let a crisis go to waste.” (Attributed, I believe, to Rahm Emanuel).) That aside, Emerson’s words are an extremely valuable reminder. We ignore “failures” and “calamities” at our peril. Every…
