#197 Don't Fall Into 2017

As the year is starting to wind down, the internet is full of meme's proclaiming 2016 a disaster of a year.

 

My favorite is the following:

 

"Fidel Castro survived 857 attempted assassinations; he couldn't even survive 2016."

 

Very funny, but also very sad.

 

Of course, it's possible to have a year of hardship in which you experience loss, personal struggle, setbacks and even failure. However, I find it interesting that it's always the same people who experience the same failures, while the same people are getting more and more successful.

 

One huge reason why you are not finding the success you've been wishing for year after year is due to your lack of planning.

 

"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."

-Benjamin Franklin

 

I know you've heard and maybe even said that exact phrase before. If you are an athlete of any kind and you had a nickel for every time your coach said it, you would be rich...well, maybe not rich but you get the point.

 

If you know this is true then why aren't you busy preparing for success?

This year I challenge you to take some time and plan to make 2017 the best year that you've ever had.
