It's time to crank up those 2021 goals with a new year upon us. Why not choose a simple way?

One of the easiest methods of achieving success is to stick to tried and true. That doesn't mean you can't move toward something more meaningful. It means that you forgo new knowledge and skill and leverage what you already understand.

The easy way to success assumes:

1) You already have experience and wisdom. You will learn any new skill if, and only if needed.

2) You will choose the path of least resistance. The goal is to get the results you want in the fastest period. No distractions. No zig-zagging.

3) Overthinking burns too many brain calories. If you find yourself confused and stuck, accept that you may need to reevaluate your plan. Do it fast.

Human nature will compel you to clutter your success journey with distraction. Seek the direct route to the results you want. It's easier.
