Entrepreneurs make terrible New Year’s resolutions, and I’m speaking from experience.
Every New Year’s Eve, I used to tell myself a bold story:
➡️ Next year I will wake at dawn.
➡️ Next year I will master cold showers.
➡️ Next year I will organise my digital life with the precision of a Swiss clockmaker.
Maybe not exactly all of that… but, you get the idea…
By mid January I’d have usually abandoned all of ‘em and added two new habits that make absolutely no sense.
I suspect many entrepreneurial leaders follow a similar path.
Our optimism is powerful and occasionally unreasonable.
My days of New Year’s Resolutions are long gone because I have found what works better for me.
I choose one simple intention, a single shift that feels sustainable rather than punishing.
Something I can repeat without needing heroics.
That approach has lasted far longer than any grand resolution I ever made.
If you are planning your year currently, choose something kind.
Choose something repeatable.
Let this year grow steadily rather than all over the place.
Happy New Year to you all. May it be filled with health, clarity, laughter, and good people! 😊❤️
