We're about to step into a new year. Are you ready for it?

If you're not quite sure what exactly you want to get out of the new year, this podcast will give you some clarity and motivation.

I resisted making plans for a new year for the longest time and always thought it was way too common and too average. lol I was quite full of it. Now, I know how creating specific goals in a completely different way can change your life and help you thrive.

Here are the steps you can take to make the next year pure awesomeness.

1. Reflect on the past and honor your achievements

2. Tie up loose ends.

3. Envision your Year 2013. If you feel resistance, ask better questions.

4. Think it. Feel it. Believe it. Create it.

5. Create your word/mantra of the year.

6. Set up your specific goal for each month of the year.

Remember to honor your feelings and be kind to yourself. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

- Buddha

Do you ever think that loving yourself is selfish and narcissistic? Are you afraid that others will think your priorities are all messed up? Do you shy away from taking care of yourself and spending time with yourself because you believe that taking care of others first is the better way to live life?

I think that most of us struggle with this concern, which is why I decided to dedicate this episode of Your Life Your Success to helping us realize that loving ourselves is for the best of everyone.

Here's why:

1. Loving yourself is your right.

2. Loving yourself creates space (peace of mind) to love others.

3. Understanding yourself gives you a greater understanding of this world and humanity.

4. Loving yourself makes you kinder, happier and more balanced, which is something everyone benefits from.

5. Loving yourself makes you a great role model.

6. Loving yourself/ having respect for yourself gives you a chance to have respect/stop judging others

7. Taking care of yourself means you're healthy and stay sane.

8. Thriving in life gives you the chance to help others thrive too.

9. Can you love others even if you don't love yourself? I think so, yes. But I also believe that if you love yourself, you can love others so much more.

10. Remember that you are the person you'll spend the rest of your life with, so building a relationship with that person, yourself, is only logical…

Let's face it, we all stand in our own way more often than not.

We have these high hopes and dreams, but we remain in paralysis because we simply don't believe we have what it takes. Or maybe we do, but we keep procrastinating and waiting for our future self to take the difficult steps towards success.

And that'll never happen, right?

But the world needs you, your voice and your talent. So, let's get out of our own way with these 7 Kick-ass tips.

Ready?

1. Train your action muscle with one small action a day

Take small actions in any area of your life on a daily basis to get comfortable moving forward in life.

2. Understand your thoughts

Your thoughts run like a well-oiled engine. They keep repeating themselves every single day. You can't change that, but you can change the reaction you have to what's going on inside your mind.

3. Trust yourself

Believe in yourself and know that everyone experiences fear. The more you trust that you do what you're meant to do the better.

4. Exercise to test your limits

There's nothing more empowering than overcoming mental barriers in the gym. Try to really stretch your comfort zone and see how much more open to change you'll be if you keep practicing this simple step.

5. Create healthy habits

Start a journal, practice gratitude, eat clean, stay positive and speak in gentle tones to yourself.

6. Surround yourself with the right people

The more positive, creative, happy and ambitious friends you have the more you'll adopt these characteristics. Another great way to stay on track is to have an accountability partner or a mastermind group.

7. Create a vision board to know where you're headed

You can't create your future if you don't know what it is you actually want. So, take some time for yourself and create a vision board with words, pictures, phrases, mantras, anything. This is fun and serves as a great reminder when you feel down and unmotivated.

On to you, what are your ideas to get out of your own way? I'd love to hear them.

Today I am honored to share an interview with blogging superstar Jon Morrow! If you don't do anything else today but read this interview, you'll have learned and grown as a person as much as others do in a lifetime.

Jon is the associate editor of CopyBlogger, the creator of BoostBlogTraffic.com and also teaches aspiring bloggers around the world how to rock at guest blogging. I am currently attending his guest blogging course and I can highly recommend it. He is doing all this while he lives in paradise, which is something we would all like to say, isn’t it?

I have already given people a bit of an overview of who you are and what you are up to and all about. Is there anything more you can tell us about yourself?

I’m a writer, a blogger and one of the things that surprises people a little bit about me is that I am in a wheelchair and I can’t move anything really but my face. So I’ve managed to build a really big following online just by using voice dictation software to write and I also turn that following into an online business that makes me a healthy six figure income every year. It allows me to live wherever I want.

So I live in sunny Mazatlan Mexico, right on the beach in a condo connected to a Wi-Fi. I can do my business just as if I were in the US or wherever. It’s really been ideal, it’s a dream come true for a guy like me.

When was the moment that you decided to give your life in the US up and move to paradise?

Well, I’ve been wanting to live on the ocean for years. I think that’s where most entrepreneurs start. Most of the entrepreneurs I’ve talked to – it’s not like you want to become a billionaire.  You just want to create a business that will help you live the life that you want.

You have a picture in your life of what you want your life to be like and the business is just a vehicle for creating that. And for me, my vision for where I wanted my life to be was a laptop, on the beach, sipping a pina colada with beautiful girls in bikinis dancing on the beach. I didn’t get the beautiful girls in bikinis part, by the way. I’m still working on that.

The rest of it I achieved, and it was something that I dreamed about for years but I finally decided to put it into action about three years before I moved out here. That’s how long it took me to prepare everything, to get all the living stuff straightened out and actually move down here. I worked for a two year period and part of it was because I couldn’t move and the other part of it was healthcare in the US – I have nurses with me all the time – and nurses in the US are extremely expensive.

So just by moving to Mexico, it saved me somewhere around $5000 a month just off the bat. So, not only do I get to live in paradise, but also I get to save $5000 a month. I get to eat fresh guacamole whenever I want to. It was kind of the ideal choice, so even though my family thought I was absolutely crazy, I moved down here and made it happen.

What is your motive behind living your passion? You’re teaching people, you’re helping them. Why does this topic matter to you?

Ideas are really, really important to me. When you can’t move, all you really have left is ideas. I read, I write, I think and I talk and that’s pretty much my life. And because of that ideas have become really, really special to me. What bothers me is that a lot of people with really great ideas who deserve to be heard weren’t getting the attention they deserved online when they started a blog or when they launched a course.

Not because their ideas weren’t amazing, but because no one knew who they were. And after years of seeing that on CopyBlogger, I finally decided that I wanted to do something about it and that I wanted to take those writers and show them how to get the attention they deserved so those ideas could spread the way they should be.

You have this disease; did this make you want to fight harder for your ideas? Do you think you have more willpower than people who don’t have a fatal disease?
