I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to hold out too much hope for 2021 (yet) but like many, if not all of the planet, I think we can safely say we can’t wait to see the back of 2020!
I will be spending New Year’s Eve on my own. So, sadly, it’s going to be a pretty lame end to a pretty lame year for me.
I’m wondering if it is worth waiting up until midnight. Big Ben will chime, but there will be no fireworks. (I am thinking this will save a lot of money, and considering the economic climate, can we really afford to blow up millions of pounds? So I am pleased with this decision.)
Do you make New Year’s resolutions? I’m not very good at these. I have some goals set for my new business, targets I would like to reach. But other than that, I suppose I want to exercise a bit more (once the hamstring is sorted), network more, sort the boys’ bedrooms out – as I have two mini-adults in the house now – and to catch up with old friends, as well as make new ones. I want more mini-adventures – they were pretty scarce this year!
I should have two books coming out in 2021, so I suppose I want to make them the best they can be.
But my real goal this new year will be to build my business. I have seen that it has the potential to improve my life, give me the financial independence I need to continue writing, help my sons’ through their educational paths, and enable me to live a life I wish to live. But it’s not a get rich quick scheme. I need to put the work in, share my new venture. This is a long term goal.
The great thing about my business is that it is about helping people save money, and/or they too can do what I do, and set themselves on a different path. One of being their own boss, in charge of their own time management, and finding financial freedom.
Earlier this year, I read a book as part of my self-development for my new venture. It’s called The Consistency Chain For Network Marketing by George Campbell and Jim Packard.
The book looks at the 20%ers and the 80%ers.
Now I’m definitely a 20%er when it comes to health and fitness. I’m already getting up earlier every morning to exercise. And my diet isn’t bad (although I could try to squeeze in more fruit and veg). I rarely break that consistency chain. It is now a habit. So I need to take this mindset towards my business and my writing, and become a 20%er in those areas – and I will benefit in results!
You may not be in Network Marketing, but you might be looking at how to lose weight, or you own your own business, or you may even have something else that you’re good at sabotaging. Do you need to finish that book you’re writing?
This book WILL help you. It’s about consistency. I really can recommend it.
I can honestly say, even with the shittiest year on record, (it started great but about March is started going wrong for everyone) I’m in a really good place. I’m happy, and single. And happy for it to stay that way. Next year will be about more self-development – because I love reading books – and just growing as a person. I still have so much to learn.

Happy New Year, everyone. I seriously believe a party is what you make it. Life is tough, and it’s easier said than done to stay positive. But try. Xxxx
(I will write more about my three positives a day and how this has changed my life.)
Love, happiness & good health to you all,
