I recently had a conversation with a new member who is very successful in his business and family. But he has health problems. He is 60 pounds overweight and injured both knees, tearing his ACL. He also had a torn tendon in one of his biceps.
He told me that he finally realized that he has to take care of his health. It's time. If he is not well, then his business and his family suffer.
We will call our new member Felipe. Felipe is now ready to improve his health and lose weight. So after a long talk, Felipe was hoping for a better year to which I replied that he knows that the year will bring him what he wants most and what he focuses on. Of course, Felipe already knows this since he is very good at focusing on his business and his family.
Then I remembered you and that's why I'm writing this article.
What 2024 is going to bring you? The year is going to bring you what you want and work on…
If you don't change, nothing will change. You want a good business, you have to work at it. If you want a functional family, you have to work at it. If you want inner peace, you have to work at it. If you want financial freedom, you have to work at it. If you want to lose weight and get in shape, you have to invest your time and effort into it. There is no other way.
Just wishing for it and hoping that the year will give you a miracle, it's not going to happen...
I also had a talk with another member who is busy all the time. I asked her when was the last time she had free time in a month and she told me never. She has two children, works and does other things. Then I asked her when he was going to have time to prepare her meals. He told me that if she didn't plan it, she would never have time to which I responded that what was she waiting for to plan.
2024 will go by like 2023 if you don't do something and start planning your year...
If you plan things and act, it is more likely to happen than just wishing it would happen. Yes, things out of your control can happen, such as a natural disaster, an accident, a pandemic created by the government, and many other things, but if you have a plan, it is safer to follow it even if unwanted things happen.
If the strategy of “let's see what the year brings” hasn't worked for you all these years and your life hasn't improved, I think it's time to change your strategy and start planning your years, decide to change, take action and focus on what you want most.
The year is really going to be what you decide about it. If you leave it to chance, then things will go badly for you and you won't achieve anything this 2024.
