Your new goals for 2023

I bet you’re thinking of new goals for 2023, right? At least, I hope you do. When one year passes, and the next begins, it’s a strangely magical time. You seem to have regained the power of renewal, and your mind and heart are buzzing with new year’s resolutions.

You wonder deep down inside how long you can sustain that resolute feeling. I know that sensation all too well of not knowing if you have it in you to make it. All entrepreneurs have it when they embark on a new project.

Every time I went on the trapeze while still practicing and performing, I had that doubt. Even now, as I write these words, that little voice in my head is whispering somewhere in the background. Only this time, I know I am not alone. I have a support system to lean on. But this wasn’t always the case.

Harnessing the power of commitment

Enter the “period of courage”

“a lot of people have a hard time making a commitment to a goal without a guarantee that they’re going to be successful. The nature of the entrepreneur, however, is that they do it anyway and go through an uncomfortable period of courage, recognizing that it’s a necessary stage to reach their goal.”

Says Dan Sullivan, in his book The self Managing Company: Freeing yourself up from everything that prevents you from creating a 10X bigger future.

Together is better in 2023

I’d say, “trust the process,” courage is just the first part. You need it most before you start. Once you are in action, you’re in the process; trusting it goes hand in hand with your commitment to every step on the way to your goal. It can be much easier than you think, though. Let me tell you how.

Committing to a goal is much easier if you tell the people around you that this is what’s happening. This way, they can support you and encourage you on the path. Here’s what Dan Sullivan has to say about it for the entrepreneurs among you: 

“For entrepreneurs, it helps to have your team members as witnesses to your commitments as they can keep you accountable to them. Seeing your commitments and the improvements you’re making also generate an enormous amount of energy for the team and inspires them to make their own commitments.”
