You know why new year resolutions don't work?

You re the same old person trying to achieve a different result with the same old habits.

Stop with the new year resolutions.

Don't do it.

Simply focus on changing your everyday habits and sustain it.
You'll see anew person in a few weeks.

And consequently, you'll see new results too.

The way to change your results is to change what you do.

The way to change what you do is to change what you think and what you believe.
Focus on this foundation and you'll see results that'll blow your mind.

But I must warn you:

As soon as you make up your mind to be a different person, watch your old self revolt.

Watch your friends (and yes, family) criticise the 'new you.'
Leave all this new year resolution tripe.

Focus on improving your mindset, attitudes and habits.

It'll spiral into your results.

Why do new year resolutions not work and what exactly should you do to make 2021 a great year? (Thread)

It is three days to the end of 2020 and as is standard practice for millions of people, they'll make new year resolutions.

Resolutions that they abandon after 2 weeks
I sincerely believe that when we make these resolutions, we are serious about them.

We rally want the change.

But why do we revert to type I'm a short while?

And what is the better to own your life in 2021?
Think about this:

Have you ever tried installing a software on a computer and got this message:

"This Operating system is not compatible with the software"?

And no matter what you do, the software won't just install...

Until you upgrade the operating system?

To build a successful business, you must be a long term thinker.

I'll explain.

My Uncle married a white lady from Ireland.

Beautiful woman and nice to a fault.

In 2018 she came to Nigeria and spent some time in the village.

She had heard a lot about me so she asked me to
come see her.

Spending time with her was beautiful.

She always wanted to learn about our culture, practically always wanting to go to the farm with her white delicate skin.

I discovered two things within the few days I spent with her.
One was her love for books.

This lady would read 50 pages of a book a day.

In two days, she had read and finished 'There was a country' and moved on to 'Things fall apart.'

I saw active learning and hunger for knowledge.

But the second thing I discovered taught me a lesson.

You've paid a lot of money learning and improving yourself.
But somehow, you are still struggling with the idea of asking people money for your knowledge.

You are afraid no one will see you as an expert.

You are afraid people may see you as a fraud.

You feel you are not qualified to sell your knowledge yet.

5 Ways To Develop Discipline And Use It To Crush Your Goals.

Motivation will not make you successful.

Discipline will.

Look at the lives of truly successful people and you'll see this is true. (Thread)
Many people misunderstand what motivation means.

They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.

When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.

But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.

That isn't motivation.
Motivation is a combination of two words:

Motive + Action.

Motivation is the motive behind the action.

It is the reason for the action.

The why!

For example, why do you want to start a business?

So you can have freedom, yeah?

That is the motivation.

If you are want to start an online business and

- You are scared and don't know where to start

- You really don't have money for ads,

Do this:

- Start learning a new skill. Be ruthless about it.

- Share your journey and progress

- Get people to offer your service to.
This is what I mean:

Pick a skill you know you'll be committed to.

Anyone, as long as it solves a real problem people are facing.

Dedicate a minimum of an hour daily to practicing this skill.

Note, I did not say learn, I said practice.
As you practice and get better, share what you learn on your various social media handles:

Whatsapp status, Twitter, Facebook, IG, etc.

People will begin to associate your name with that skill.

When you are sure you are proficient enough, sell your services.
