Just Start (SEOT Step to Success 001)

SEOT Steps to Success 001 New Years Resolutions 2021 (Just Start)

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

Whether you’re setting a New Year’s resolution or you’re just finding this video sometime later in the year and you’re trying to achieve a goal – it doesn’t matter.

At some point, we all want more of life.

Sometimes, the hardest part of achieving your goals is just starting.

(Psst, if you’re a teacher, check out this free New Year’s Resolutions Worksheet)

We talk about wanting more success in life

  • being in a great relationship
  • making more money
  • looking great and getting fit, or
  • just being happy…

And, sometimes all we do is talk, or wish, or dream, or we set New Year’s resolutions (that we forget about) and we just keep doing the same things.

SEOT is about helping you to achieve your goals.

So, SEOT Step to Success #1 is to JUST START.

Sometimes, we set a goal but we overthink, or we over-analyse, or we’re just afraid that we won’t be a huge success, so it’s better not to try.

And, there are so many reasons not to try:

  • People might laugh at us.
  • People might think it’s a dumb idea.
  • People might say this will never work…

And, they might be right and we tell ourselves that we don’t have what it takes or there’s other people who can do this better so why even try? It just won’t work.

And, that might be true right now, but at some point even the best were just beginners. And, that’s us right now. We’re at the start of our journey. We’re just starting a New Year’s resolution or new life goal – whatever it is…

So, no matter what your goal is, right now, just start. Don’t worry about what happens next.

Just start and we’ll figure it out later.

If you’re jumping into the pool, the water might be cold but at some point you just need to jump and then you’ll figure it out. And, who knows? The water might not be so bad!

Or, you might get out of the water and think, “I’m never doing that again!” but you learn from that experience.
