Podcast #16: 4 Ways to a Productive 2024 Without Pointless Resolutions

Approximately 91% of people give up on their new year resolutions each year. Guys, it’s time to abandon the silly resolutions and set goals like a man. How can you set proper goals and attain real success when most others quit by the end of January? Rick and Rusty talk about 4 steps that can bring permanent change, not just temporary results, to a man committed to growth.

Outline

1. Review 2023
   • Look at successes, positives experiences, and areas of growth
   • List negatives, failures, and unproductive areas
   • Think of time-wasters that you need to shed (social media, bad habits, etc)
2. Create Goals for 2024
   • Set challenging but realistic goals
   • Don’t imitate someone else’s goals just because they sound good
   • Set intermediate goals that can be celebrated on the way to the main goal
3. Determine Who Will Be Affected by Your Goals
   • Invite input by those who may be affected
     • Example: If your goals involve marriage development or family growth, invite your spouse and/or family to take part in creating goals and intermediate steps
4. Be Accountable
   • Allow a trusted friend or family member to hold you accountable
   • Be honest when they ask about progress and be open to feedback, even when it’s tough
   • Create a reward system that establishes “celebration points” on the way to attaining your goal
