Can you believe it’s almost 2022 already? The years seem to fly by faster and faster. Each year is an opportunity for change, growth, and steps towards your dreams. But if you aren’t careful the year is already gone and you have nothing to show for it. Don’t let this happen to you!
Did you make the most of 2021? If yes, amazing. If not, oh well. Either way, you CAN make 2022 the best year of your life. Yes, you can do it! IF you have the right plan in place. You have to know what to do, and how to do it.
Today I’m going to give you some tips on MUST MAKE moves for 2022. Small things that if you don’t get moving on the whole year could be a waste. That’s serious! Sometimes it takes a little pressure to get things moving. I’ll light a fire under your butt if that’s what it takes. Anyways, let’s get to the list.
Take a Small Step Every Day
No more procrastinating fam. Stop saying you’ll be doing things tomorrow. Today is all you got. Get to work right now. Do something, anything. Pick up your floor. Make your bed. Clean the sink. Get started with what’s immediately in front of you. Once you’ve taken care of what you can see, the magic happens. Now you’re free to make the big changes. Do you think you’re ready for the big changes now? Start small and you’ll be there in no time.
Did you know that a disorganized space stresses out the brain? I know how it feels to come back to a messy place and you just got done from work and aren’t ready to work more. So you put it off. And once you’re putting that off, you put other stuff off. Set yourself up for success. Get your space in order. Come back home and relax.
The key is staying in integrity. It doesn’t mean just doing what you say you’re going to do. It means not saying what you’re going to do. Did you know the brain gets a dopamine boost when you say you’re going to do something even though you haven’t done anything? When that happens you’re less likely to do the thing you need to do, because you already got rewarded and now you’re losing motivation. Stop saying what you’re going to do. Shut up and do something. Anything!
Speak Positive Affirmations
Stop being mean to yourself. Stop saying what could go wrong outside. Stop repeating the negative. You might not be able to control your thoughts but you can certainly control what you say. Did you know that speaking a thought out loud gives it 10x the power? And if it’s negative it gives it 4 to 7x?
So many people predict their own failures because they speak them into existence. You need to do the opposite. Start feeding yourself empowering “I can” statement. No more “I should” or “I need to”.
“I can get a raise.”
“I can have a healthy, loving relationship.”
“I can get to sleep on time.”
“I can build wealth over time.”
Get in the habit of speaking positive affirmations when you’re alone. Make it a ritual. Don’t always go for your phone and your headphones. Create your own content- something that empowers you. I believe in you. Do you believe in you? Good, then let yourself know. You can do it!
Quit drinking / smoking
Are you still drinking and smoking when you’ve been saying you’ll quit or cut back for years? Come on man, it’s time to grow up. There’s are tricks but there’s no secret formula to this. You have to want to change, really badly. You might need to hit a low point and snap. Maybe that will happen this year. Hope you can change or it will happen eventually.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned is that the reason most people feel stuck is because their parents were stuck. All their models were stuck people who couldn’t change. Sometimes all you need is to see someone who changed and all of a sudden it’s easy to do. Hey, I smoked weed for 10 years and one day I got fed up and I quit. I haven’t smoked in over 2 years now. You can do it too, it’s not that hard.
When you allow yourself to be sober you’ll experience amazing clarity. You’ll be able to think, dream, and feel again. You’ll have that invigorating youthful energy where you want to build stuff and do stuff. Your skin will get clearer, your eyes will be brighter, your sleep will be better, your income will raise, and you’ll wonder why you ever poisoned yourself for so many years. When’s a good time to get started on this? I think you know the answer to this.
Get a Raise & Start Investing
It’s more important than ever for you to get a raise and start investing because inflation is at a 40 year record right now. The price of everything is shooting up. If you aren’t able to get even a 7% raise this year your spending power is down from a year ago. You need to go to your boss with inflation data and ask for a raise just for cost of living. If you won’t do that, maybe it’s time you get a new job. Did you know that people who switch jobs frequently make significantly more income in their lives? This is because when you start a job is always the best time to negotiate for more. Guess what, the job market is super easy right now with 11 million unfilled positions. A lot of employers are looking for people and a lot of people don’t want to work. There’s financial opportunity for you.
If you’ve made it this far in life and aren’t yet investing your money, you need to start doing this and 2022 is the year to do that. It’s more important than ever because inflation is causing your savings to go down and down. You don’t want to work for the rest of your life do you? Well then you need to start investing. There’s many ways to do this and I’m not going to go too in depth in this. But pick an asset class that interests you and start funneling a portion of your paycheck into it. You’ll watch your net worth start to grow within the year and in the years to come you’ll be able to nurse a sizeable nest egg. The longer you push this off the worse off you’ll be. The sooner you can start on this the more your gains can compound. So get going on this ASAP!
Get Help
Are you still out there working all alone? If you have only one good friend in your camp, or even worse, no one in your camp, it is VERY hard to succeed. You need good people around you, to bounce ideas off of, to model, and to ask for help when times are tough. Join a group, create a mastermind, get on the phone and call people, send emails, go to church, get outside and do something. You aren’t going to succeed on your own. Hire a therapist, hire a coach, hire an accountability assistant. Start building your team so you can conquer this life together.
Make 2022 Your Best Year
I believe you can make 2022 your best year ever. Would you like help with that? I’m accepting 3-5 guys to work with for the whole of 2022 to help them accelerate their lives.
