What will you focus on in 2022?

[MJ DeMarco]

Knowing my life is nearly 2/3rds over, I vow to spend more time relaxing and being grateful of the present moment.

Another way to build confidence is to get little wins under your belt.

Get that first reply, comment, click, enquiry, signup, sale, weekly sale, daily sale, etc.

Celebrate each time you level up.

Buying land and constructing my own "off-the-grid" home out in rural Colombia.

Would require close to $100,000.00 USD, rough estimate.

Need to sell some of my clients highest-dollar assets in order to get that plan underway.

On rebuilding my self-confidence.

But I've already started a few weeks ago and whether it's 2021 or 2022 means nothing to me.

On rebuilding my self-confidence.

I have a similar goal. What are you doing to achieve this?

 

[BD64]

Having more conversations. Been working from home over the past ~2 years and I've realized that I'm not talking to nearly enough people anymore. My network is closer to contracting than expanding.

Part of this effort is actually being much more active and engaged on the forum like I was when I had first joined. Beyond that joining toastmasters, going to lots of local REI/small business meetups, finding times for 1-1s with coworkers every week, etc.

Don't wait till New Year's Day.

What will you focus on next year?

I start on Thanksgiving Day to plan the next year. It's a long process for me that lasts through the holidays. I end with my new goal list on New Year Day. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I take a mental snapshot of how the current year has gone for me. Then I look at where I want to go with my time and energy during the new year. What activities do I want to wrap up? What do I want to add to my life? How can make things work smoother?

Past the basic planning, I take a lot of actions during this season. I work hard at picking up all my "dropped shoes". Those are chores and projects that I have started and have not finished. I really get into problem-solving. I try to clear up and retire my old issues while the rest of the world around me is partying. And I work at organizing my world to allow me to set new priorities. I like to start the new year with less personal and business clutter.

To answer your question – I’m setting up a new business that requires a new professional license. I have passed the required class. Now I am starting to study for the Federal exam.

Don't wait till New Year's Day.

What will you focus on next year?

In 2022, I will:
1. Double monthly website viewers
2. Double business profit
3. Learn how to delegate (delegate one new task per quarter)

 

[TheLearner]

Solving a recurring need in the marketplace and making that first sale.

I have a similar goal. What are you doing to achieve this?

What worked best for me in the past was a lot of discomfort, learning new things, and in general trying to grow in as many aspects as possible, particularly in which I feel like it's a huge challenge.

Once I stopped doing that (a lot of discomfort and learning) so often and started defining myself too much by my business (writing) I started losing confidence as my business stopped growing. In some ways, it's a classic case of equating your self worth with your business performance. A terrible mistake.

I also had a traumatic experience that made me extremely fearful of death but also fearful of living, getting very close to a major depression.

So a few weeks ago I started learning how to freedive. It's a HUGE challenge for me with a lot of anxiety, worry, and frustration. But at the same time it provides so much mental stimulation I feel like I'm finally alive again. It also helps to (theoretically) face the prospect of death each time I go underwater.

Yesterday, as detailed in my discomfort thread, I tried paragliding. That also helped me regain some confidence as I had to face something I had been very afraid of (because of another traumatic experience in the past)

I also come up with this idea today:

Thinking of setting up a resilience/discomfort/toughness mastermind.

The idea would basically be sharing with the group stuff that you're scared of (for example speaking a foreign language), feel uncomfortable with (for example water activities), feel it's too hard for you to learn (for example new tech) or that otherwise pushes you to the limits (for example endurance adventures).

The group would provide support, accountability, and would serve as a way to connect with other people who know that practicing discomfort helps excel in life, as explained in my thread GOLD! - MINDSET - My Candid Personal Story on Why You Can Never Take It Easy (An Ode to Discomfort)

Could be a weekly or bi-weekly call or could be a mix of a small online community (Slack or something else) and calls.

Would anyone be interested?

The message seems to resonate a lot as within a couple of hours of posting this I already have 4 people interested (so plus me, that's already 5 people who deep down know that as much as discomfort sucks, it's how you build confidence in yourself).

Fitness. In particular endurance events (swim/bike/run).

I have an event in September and haven't raced in 2 years... lost my edge. Can't even call myself an athlete at the moment. It's something I look forward to with impatience. And have started already, so it's also not 2022 but will apply to 2022. Big goals, so little time.

Expanding my current real estate business.

I've been learning about real estate development as well recently and need to take action in 2022.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Getting my systems and failsafes in top condition.

 

[Guest-5ty5s4]

In 2022, I plan to make a rather large leveraged investment, either in real estate or business. I’ve already got some leads on deals.

The goal is top line revenue; no more just playing defense.

I will also dramatically increase my personal productivity, get up earlier, and accomplish more while working, tackling new problems at my job and on my own ventures and become the type of person who can lead the company at the job. That means being more hands-on as well.

 

[Carlitos]

Loosing weight because it plays a big role in being confident. And being confident, will play a big part in being a business owner. Continue to build my business will also be a second thing to continue to focus in growing and possibly rebranding as well.

(I need to update my thread due for a big update)

 

[Omar Elarbi]

Adopt new daily habits and break the bad ones. In 2021, I succeeded in maintaining new habits with the help of a habit tracking app called "Strides".

This is the summary of my 2021 habits:

- Learning German language: 625 days streak (mostly using Duolingo and Anki apps)
- Daily cold showers: 348 days streak.
- Taking supplements: 309 days streak.
- Drinking Smoothie: 309 days streak.
- Journaling: 209 days streak.
- Deep breathing (Wim Hoff Method): 184 days streak
- Reading: 339 days streak (read 26 books).
- Plank exercise: 209 days streak (personal best = 6 mins)
- Cleaning my room: 36 weeks streak (weekly habit)
- Declutter: 10 months streak (monthly habit)
- Reward myself: 5 months streak (treat myself of nice meal in a restaurant at the beginning of every month).

And few other habits.

In 2022, I will continue doing the above habits and I'll try to adopt new habits, such as:

- Sleeping at around 22:00 and waking up at 6:00.
- Do regular medical check ups (2 times/year).
- Read 30 books.
- Quit social media for good. (now only using FB).
- Quit sugar and junk food for good.
- Daily chats with colleagues to improve my interpersonal skills (my conversational skills have been affected by COVID).

This year in October I also launched my web design company. So one of my next year's goals is to have at least 20 customers for the company, and to reach £15,000 in savings by the end of the year.

 

[woken]

Launching my new project. Currently action faking.( need to decide on some things that would make or break the project)
Everything around me is in a “it’s almost Christmas” state so I’ll use that as an excuse.

Also, I’d rather take 3 good decisions now to avoid changing the whole business model later.

Sounded like a true action faker

But hey, it’s the holiday season !
Happy holidays to all !

My first goal is to get my monthly YouTube views over 100k. It's become a bit of a personal challenge even though it isn't my main business.

The second is to only work 3 days a week. I put myself into retirement 5 years ago, closing down my company. I had a part-time "hobby" business to keep me busy but it's taken over. I'm going to get my time back by automating as much as possible.

Finally, to take a holiday with my daughter and grandson. It may sound silly but they live in France and I've only seen them once since this COVID thing started. Every time we've tried to meet up some restriction or other has stopped it.

 

[Kak]

I’m excited for the lulls of 2021 to be over. I go stir crazy when no one is worth talking to.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas and the holiday season, but I love business more.

Bump, the first quarter of 2022 has entered its final month!

How is everyone doing?

Bump, the first quarter of 2022 has entered its final month!

How is everyone doing?

I've started a new health program to improve my overall health. I'm being consistently coached and constantly tracked for my progress. Since I just started it 3 weeks ago, nothing to tell yet. BUT...

I'm in the process to get my Mortgage Broker's license so I can work on more RE passive income streams. I passed the Federal exam to qualify for going through the LONG process of applying for the personal licensee. And I'm working on the many steps to get the company license. I must have both to open the door. I flew to Anchorage yesterday and got my fingerprints taken for the background check.

My base businesses are doing great. I take care of them every day.

 

[K1 Lambo]

Business:
-Hit $10m in sales this year.

Life:
-Avoid all the bullshit/propaganda that's going on in the news. Have a mental discipline to stay away from that as much as possible and "people" who just talk about stuff yet they never do anything. I have so many people in my life who talk a lot but never do anything. They've been saying the same shit for the past 5 years and their life is still the same. My parents are exactly like that. Even though I love them, they're stuck in a cage that they're not aware of. Best substitutes for that? Podcasts, books or people who want to see you win.

-Try to have a consistent bed time routine. It's difficult as an entrepreneur since once you have a list of things to do, then you've got to do them on a given day. And that means you have to stay up until 1am-2am sometimes. I remember when I was waking up at 5am-6am and my sleep was so much better. Obviously you have to go to bed earlier for that but it's definitely a great thing to try.

-Find a great partner. It seems it's harder and harder to find a girl that's aligned in her life or someone who's got her shit together. Most girls my age just think about parties and drinking. Maybe it's something I should wait with.


Physical:
-Build 18.5 inch biceps at the end of the year at 12%-13% bf.

Cool.

Will you make more sales too?

 

[Devampre]

Honestly, last night I had a big realization that there was an easier way to do what I was doing and trying to do. Kind of a slap in the face, but in a good way lol.

This still feels like a double edged sword, but I believe this will allow me to be able to handle even more clients. I will not turn down harder custom projects, but I will definitely raise the price on that type of service as it requires significantly more time and energy.

In 2022, I want to start doing quicker fulfillment and better overall work. I also need to try more things in my business when it comes to my lead generation and marketing efforts. I feel like I'm not always talking with the right kinds of people and I'm definitely not at the level where I get consistent referrals.
