2023 - The Year of Execution!

The year 2023 is set for a thirst for knowledge and action. Whatever goals we have set for the new year, now is the time to put them into action rather than just plan on paper.

Most of the time, we put off taking action for one of the following reasons:

- Lack of priority
- Lack of clarity
- Not having desired knowledge
- Mindset block
- Limited belief
- Identity mismatch
- Waiting for the perfect time
- Fear: How to handle failure
- No self-discipline
- Excuses
- Lack of Time Management
- Involved in multiple tasks

The goal should encompass all aspects of our life after considering our core values, personality traits, and SWOT analysis.

- Health (physical & mental)
- Relationships
- Social
- Finance
- Spirituality
- Career & Profession
- Personal Development

To overcome procrastination, we should get into action mode.

- Maintain a diary or journal
- Make a Vision Board
- Use Mindmap
- Make Goal cards
- Have a commitment plan. Fix a deadline for action
- Set 12 goals for 12 months and review them periodically
- Reset or redefine action under the review process, if needed
- Goals could be short-term / long-term. Focus on the top 5 goals
- Find your start point and break it down into smaller tasks. Just take baby steps daily
- Access your resource availability
- Remove obstacles
- Get an accountability partner (most important)
- Find your mentor / guide (most important)

It's time to take action for 2023 and keep learning new things every week for the rest of the year. It is absolutely essential to track our progress on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual basis.

Set goals with a WHY factor that will motivate you. Why do you really want to achieve this goal? Many times, results are not seen right away, which can be discouraging. As a result, concentrate on procedure and progress, while remaining detached from the end result.

Finally, celebrate and give yourself a reward for each milestone reached. Remember, Version-One is always better than Version None.

Happy New Year 2023!
