When we start the year we think of words like: goals, action, go, strategy, change but the one word we overlook is the one word we so badly need....no. Highly successful people don't run around in madness and busyness....they're laser focused and say "yes" to a few things while saying "no" to everything else.

1. Say no to other opportunities. They may be good, but they're a distraction.

2. Say no the toxic, drama-filled, negative people. They're not heading where you are you don't need them.

3. Say no to yourself. We are all superheroes mixed with kryptonite. Say yes to the Ironman within but give no voice to the Joker within.

You can't wait! Once you know what you want to do this year: discover, launch, grow, pivot you need to take some type of action. Every idea has a rot rate, the longer you wait the greater the chance of the idea never happening. The sooner you act on your why and what, the greater the chance of it becoming a reality.

So today, do something. Buy a book, do research, sign up for a conference, buy a domain, make the call, book a coaching session. If you're serious about seeing your "why" and "what" become a reality this year, take action now!

Most of our resolutions and goals fail for one big reason....they are "what's" and "what's" don't inspire us. Our goals of self-discovery, launching a business, growing sales or influence or career pivots are great, but they're just the "what's."

Simon Sinek says "There are only two ways to influence human behavior: you can manipulate it or you and inspire it." The way to inspire your own behavior is to discover the why behind the what.

Every one of us in this group is either discovering, launching, growing or pivoting. We all have a goal or two, some small and some large within those areas that we want to see become a reality this year. That's awesome and I celebrate it. But if you want to increase the odds of it becoming a reality you need to push deeper to the "why?" Why do you want to discover, launch, grow or pivot? Whatever this answer is, this becomes your rallying cry for the year.

Move beyond a simple goal...put a date on it and define the why.

This is the first day of "Your Best Year". A five day podcast series on Onward Creatives.

Sometimes the idea you have doesn't work like you hoped it would. What do you do when it's not working?

Here's a checklist of questions to work through to determine what your next steps are:

1. What is the ultimate goal? 2. Is the business a good fit for your life? 3. Is it selling? 4. Does your product/idea/art help people? 5. Is it a product or pipeline issue? 6. Is the issue a lack of attention or a lack of trust?

2020 starts now! Don't wait until the calendar changes to start moving towards your goals, do it now. The next few days and weeks can be an incredible combo of relaxation and creativity. A great way to get a jump start on 2020 is to create some dissonance. Give yourself a few things to wrestle with so in those quiet moments your mind can start to solve these problems.

Here are a few questions to ask to help create the dissonance:

1. What was your biggest obstacle in 2019?

2. What derailed you from achieving your goals?

3. If you could solve one issue, what would it be?

Chances are if you're listening to this podcast you are driven. This isn't the type of podcast that complacent people listen to. Being driven is awesome and necessary if you want to succeed, but it can also have a dark side. If all we see is the gap between what is and what can be, it's easy to be miserable.

Gratitude is the best way to balance this out make it all make sense. Drive is what gets you up in the morning, gratitude gives you a reason to smile when you do. Adding gratitude to your life allows you to keep the drive in place but enjoy the journey.

This episode is a must for everyone wanting to grow and evolve to the next level.

You're an amazing individual, uniquely skilled, amazing at certain things....and so much more than a job or role. Every person has an identity or magic to them. It doesn't live on the surface like a job or hobby but is hidden deep inside. If we want to live a successful and meaningful life we have to discover our identity, it's the key to everything.

How do we do it?

1. Get to know you
   1. Personality Test
   2. Strength Finders Test
   3. Enneagram
2. Look at your history
   1. What have you enjoyed in each job?
   2. What haven't you enjoyed?
   3. What comes naturally, with minimal effort?
3. Own the rebellious
   1. What have you gotten in trouble for over the years?
   2. Are there any trends?
