We are about to end not just a year, but a decade.

This is a great time to reflect, plan and prepare for the next level of your life.

The new year for me isn't really a climactic moment because I'm ever evolving my plans, goals, and actions.

However, I do take some time to take inventory of the past year.

In this episode, I'd like to share with you a few exercises and one of the powerful resources I use to help me close one year and enter the next.

Before this decade ends:

1. Make a list of the highlights
2. Decide to give up 3 things that are holding you back.
3. Get excited about the opportunities.

5 MindShifts for Next Decade:

1. Give up Resistance to change will cause you to miss opportunities
2. Stop waiting for someone to rescue you
3. Let go of "the way we’ve always done it" thinking.
4. Be proactive - health, wealth, finances, helping others
5. Be intentional about your peace

Resources Discussed:
Year Compass

YearCompass is a booklet that helps close your year and plan the next one. In the routine of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of your true goals and aspirations. And even though we all have dreams, only a few of us plan for them. Using questions and exercises rooted in psychology it takes you through the past year, then helps you turn your dreams into achievable goals.

Successful people are very focused.

But what are they focused on?

They are focused on one thing and one thing only.

Here are a few examples as illustrations.

Great Quarterbacks throw the ball to where the receiver WILL BE, not where he is.

When riding a motorcycle, the bike will go where your eyes go.

When rounding a curve, you must keep your eyes looking forward and through the curve, not at the ground, you’re currently passing through otherwise you’ll go off path and crash.

When shooting a basketball, a shooter doesn’t look at the ball, they lock their eyes on the goal.

Wayne Gretzky said "A good player plays where the puck is. A great player plays where the puck is going to be."

As we get ready to head into 2020 (and close this decade), I want to share with you a powerful concept to remember on your road to success.

I hope you enjoy this show.

In 2010, I started telling people to "throw out their goals and just decide."

Some people thought I was a little crazy since I've been a pretty goal-driven guy all my life.

But when I explain my viewpoint, most understand and I hope you do too.

The original video was aired on my first personal development YouTube channel and website.

Wow...have video and audio come a long way.

Since we are about to close out another year and decade, I thought re-airing that video was timely.

The funny thing is that my views haven't change not one bit.

So in this episode, you'll learn:

• 3 reasons why goals fail
• Why you should throw out your goals and what you should do instead
• The mindset behind making a decision

I hope you enjoy this show.

Lois Haycock is a 30+ year retail and e-commerce veteran specializing in project management and business analysis of customer-facing systems and software in male-dominated industries. 

After raising her kids, Lois found herself back in the chase up the corporate ladder in male-dominated industries and is successful. 

She believes it may be harder today than when she came up through the ranks because of the information era. There are almost too many options and it can become paralyzing for anyone (especially women) who feel as though they have to be a certain way in order to be successful. 

In this show, we discussed: 

• How women sabotage themselves
• Not settling after 3 kids after divorce
• The issue of confidence
• How to stop disqualifying yourself when you know you can do it
• The real gender gap
• How to succeed in male-dominated industries
• Priority driven tasks
• The big shift in learning how to play the game
