Think it, act it, and you’ll eventually accomplish your goal through patience, hard work, persistence, and implementing the right plan. The secret to your success in 2024 is between your ears. However, just dreaming about it isn’t good enough. You have to do something about it. Your success is a planned event – wishing and hoping won’t make it so. You have to go out and physically apply yourself. That’s the difference between those who are successful and the not-so-successful ones. Successful people are consumed by it. Successful people love what they do and can’t see themselves doing anything else. They are on a mission and are prepared to do whatever they need to do to make it happen. Successful people have a game plan: get off the couch and go after it.

‘The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.’ – Vince Lombardi.

What would you rather be doing with your life or your career than what you are doing right now? What does your ideal job look like if you are considering changing jobs. If you want to go into business for yourself, what kind of business do you want to get into? If you aspire to take on a management or leadership role in your organization, what role would that be. Please write it down. Success only happens with a detailed plan. What has to fall into place for you to achieve your goals in 2024? Break your plans down into small incremental steps. What needs to happen – and by when? Including a timeline will help keep you on track. Be sure to add a completion date to create a sense of urgency.

‘We first make our habits, then our habits make us.’ -John Dryden.

When you change the habit, you change the result. We are adults, and we can develop a new habit. Just stop doing one thing and replace it with another; if you do it 30 days a row, you will have developed a new habit. The neat thing about habits is that you do them without thinking about them. You do them automatically. A good habit gets a good result, just like a bad one gives you a bad result. What new habits will you need to develop to go into business for yourself, take on that management or leadership role, start that new job, or change careers. Do you need to enhance your soft skills and learn to be patient, open-minded or a better communicator and listener. Will you need to learn how to build collaborative teams, solve problems, resolve conflicts or manage your time more effectively.

‘Live life on your terms. Term one is to decide how you want to live.’ – Bazzi.

Once you’ve made up your mind about what you want and how to go about getting it, everything will eventually fall into place. However, keep in mind that your success is never a given. You need to be 100 percent committed. You need to be all in. You must decide what you are willing to stop doing – keep doing – and start doing to achieve your goals. Remember – the secret to your success in 2024 is between your ears.
