Issue 108: What is your compass for 2023?
“Pursue one great opportunity with force and determination.”
- Carl von Clausewitz
Happy New Year! Let’s make this the best year yet!
Have you created your goals, dreams, and resolutions for 2023? What will be on your list to achieve? Or have you decided to put aside that new year tradition because it hasn’t worked? If so, you’re not alone. U.S. News states that making resolutions only work for 20 percent of people. When it comes to resolutions, I fall into that 80 percent. Do you?
For those who have followed Bounce-Up Chronicles, you know I’m a big believer in the “one-word year” concept. Over the past decade, I’ve noticed the word surfaces in my thoughts, conversations, and plans. The word usually makes itself known.
Think of the one-word concept as a compass that guides you to your destination, aka what you want to achieve. In addition to the overarching word theme, I combine it with another concept called The Twelve Week Year. (If you haven’t read this book, put it on your reading list.)
For 2023, my word is “OPEN.” OPEN shouts possibilities, opportunities, new perspectives, relationships, and so much more.
Why the One-Year Concept?
It can help you make better decisions as your word acts as a filter, aligning your actions and goals with it.
Your one word can act as a guiding principle to clarify your goals, set a clear action plan, and keep you on track.
You can identify areas of your life, career, or business where you want to grow. Your word can serve as a catalyst for personal and professional development.
