Ep. 20 - Is This Year Really Your Year? Yes or No

In this episode, we will discuss the importance of taking responsibility for your own life in the new year. As we enter 2023, it's an ideal time to reflect on the past and start making revolutionary changes for the future. However, many people pay more attention to New Year's resolutions to make those changes. They often feel discouraged and disappointed when they don't stick to their resolutions or see the results they were hoping for. The truth is, New Year's resolutions don't work because they rely on temporary motivation and external pressure rather than a genuine desire to make long-term changes. To make positive changes in your life, you need to take ownership and accountability for your actions. This means setting specific, achievable goals and creating a plan to work towards them consistently.   In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of self-accountability and share tips on how to set and stick to goals that will genuinely make a difference in your life. We'll also discuss the mindset's role and self-motivation's power in making lasting changes. Whether you're looking to improve your health, advance in your career, or just live a happier, more fulfilling life, this episode will provide you with the tools and inspiration you need to make it happen.
