I’ve got to tell you right now what I think a New Year’s resolution is (and I think I’ve actually wrote an article almost every single year about this).

So here we go…

A New Year’s resolution is off-season football to me.

Recently, John Dorsey, the new Brown’s GM, was interviewed.

The new GM, who used to work with Andy Reed down in Kansas City, built a perennial talent-filled roster and he made a bold prediction.

The prediction was that the Browns are going to compete for the division title next year, and anything else will be considered a failure. That would mean going from the zero wins to probably 10 or 11 wins. It would be the greatest turnaround in the history of the NFL.

But it’s okay for him to believe that, because hype is what drives us and hype is what is sometimes the motivating factor to change the way our brains are wired.

Hear me out about this.

If I told you that 2018 is going to be the best year of your life and you’re going to find love, you’re going to listen to me.

If I told you that you already possessed the talent and the skills and the warmth to find true love in 2018, you’re going to listen to me.

If I told you that I’m fully committed to helping you achieve love in 2018, you’re going to listen to me.

If I told you I’ll give you the added push on a daily basis so you actually stay on that love plan… that’s where you sometimes stop listening.

You see, New Year’s resolutions are usually just a lot of hype.

They’re kind of like when the football season ends and the off season starts in March. The playing field is leveled and everybody has a dream, a dream that they can be the best team.

The problem is, a lot of people don’t have the right cultures in place, the right structure in place, and lack the talent to get there.

Now, I truly believe that everybody is talented.

Everybody has a unique wonderful personality that resonates with lots of people.

I truly believe that.

But what’s missing in life between the people who hype themselves on New Year’s Eve and the people that take action is this: the people who took action have been doing it all along.

New Year’s Eve is not the start of a new season. It does not mean that things are going to change just because the calendar says  January 1st, 2018.

The people who take action, they’ve already been putting the wheels in motion. They’ve already been putting together the ultimate team, so they’re going to be able to achieve whatever they desire, because achievement is a daily commitment.

Whether it’s love…

Business success…

Being a better partner…

Friendship…

Being a better lover…

It’s the wheels you put in motion every single day that will determine whether or not you’re going to be successful.

What the masters like to believe is that New Year’s resolutions mean something. But it means nothing, because it’s just off-season football. Eventually you’re going to have to get on the playing field of life.

And off the playing field of your head, which is really what’s stopping you on a regular basis.

So if you truly want to make changes, ask yourself, can you coach yourself?

The answer, for most of you, is no.

You see, most people can’t coach themselves. Because if you could, you would already have what you’re looking for.

You’d already be working on it and you wouldn’t have the need to make a New Year’s resolution.

So then you look at your circle of friends to see if there’s somebody there that can help you along your path. The answer, again, is usually a resounding no.

Because if you did have a friend that could get you where you need to go, you would have already tapped into his or her energy. And you would have already used their guidance and you would be able to get where you want to get.

I think all of you should change the resolutions for next year and make it all about a team.

You’re only as strong as the people that are around you.

For those of you who have not found love or success, I solemnly suggest you find somebody like myself to coach you, push you, balance you, and get you to where you need to go because that’s the power of coaching.

Check my coaching passages down below and think to yourself: how much better would your live be if somebody believed in you and pushed you to greatness?

Because you’ve certainly not been able to do it yourself quite yet.

And that’s perfectly fine. No one expects you to do everything on your own.

No one except maybe yourself. And therein lies the problem.

If you truly want to make 2018 amazing, no one but yourself is going to stop you.

So it’s really time you put all those resolutions to action. And lose the ego.

I’m here to help you do it.
