Skip the New Year's Resolutions & Set Go...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

New Year’s resolutions don't work, it's a proven fact. So why would you waste time or energy making resolutions? I’ve got a better plan I’m going to share with you in today’s episode.

According to U.S. News, 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February. And, in a poll that was taken in 2017, 53% of people said their resolution was to save money and 45% was to lose weight and get in shape while 25% of people said they just wanted to have more sex. Ok, well those aren’t bad resolutions, right. But they don’t stick.

So what can you do – you’ve got to have a different plan for success – and it’s not about resolutions it’s about action.

 

What You'll Learn

  • How to relax into the new year without a laundry list of resolutions
  • Why resolutions don't work
  • How to set goals and make an action plan that will work
  • How to embrace you in the new year
  • Why you should be thankful for the past and move on
