As 2017 ends and 

2018 begins…
It’s not uncommon 

for people
To set goals for the 

new year and
Unfortunately throw 

in the towel
Within the first few weeks
of the new year.
Failure is cumulative 

and
So is success.
If you REALLY want 

to know why and
Are desirous of 

THIS year to be
A “Different new, different
new” rather than
A “Same old, same old”

… LISTEN ON!
What I’m about to 

share is unlikely
To take more than 

7 mins and
COULD potentially 

impact
The course of your 

2018 and beyond.
Having spoken & worked
with many people
All around the 

world for years,
I’ve learnt many people
fundamentally know
They are born for 

great things and
Are meant to live 

an abundant life
(Whatever that means 

for each individual).
I recall a deep multi-hour
conversation I had
With a 60+ year old
American last year 

in which
He shared with me
personally & privately
How he is currently 

living a life of quiet 

desperation and
That he knew from 

young he was
Born for an 

incredible life.
However, the truth is 

that his reality is
SO FAR from the vision 

he has for his life.
Each year, people flip the
proverbial page and
Set goals only to realize
after some time
Those goals aren’t really
important or fulfilling 

to them and
They have once again
wasted their time.
If this is TO BE
AVOIDED…
Allow me 

to suggest
Some simple steps 

to take…
#1

First things first, take
precious time to…
Go for walks in the park /
woods / beach and
Ask yourself HOW
YOU’LL LIKE TO BE
REMEMBERED
(During & at the end 

of your life) and
Also figure out 

your personal
PURPOSE, MISSION 

& VISION
No matter how much 

time it takes.
If you’re spiritually
inclined,
Do go to God and 

pray about it.
This is the BEST 

way I know on
How to avoid climbing
wrong ladders or
mountains.
And also to 

make time
Your friend rather 

than your enemy.
Think long term.
#2

Grow in consciousness
and awareness
Of your own personality,
values, strengths &
Weaknesses, 

inclinations, etc.
A good book that 

comes to mind is
The late Peter
Drucker’s
Managing
Oneself.
It’s a great investment 

of one’s time and
You can complete this
within a day or two.
#3

Get clarity on your
HIGHEST values.
Not your parents nor 

your spouse’s.
YOURS!
Recommended
book 

is Dr John
Demartini’s 

The Values Factor.
A quick way to get 

started is to
List down the people 

you admire
(Specifically the top traits
they exemplify).
#4

Define what SUCCESS 

is and
IS NOT to you.
Not the world, media 

or society’s.
Also, reflect back 

on 2017,
Be BRUTALLY truthful 

and ask yourself…
#1

What worked well & 

didn’t work well
…for me this year?
Study your past patterns.
History contains 

valuable lessons.
Make the result 

your guru
As I learnt over 

12 years ago.
#2

What’s the GREATEST
difference that…
…Matters to me 

going forward?
Once done, ask 

& WRITE down…
#1

What are some simple
steps to take NOW
To ensure my 2018 

is going to be my 

best year yet?
#2

Who are the 5 to 7 

people I need to…
Meet asap & talk to create
new possibilities?
#3

What targets do I 

need to set NOW
To consistently gauge 

my progress?
Writing forces 

us to clarify
What’s on our 

mind and to
Have critical thinking
skills.
If you’re married,
Keep your partner in
communication.
After you do 

the above,
It’s virtually certain 

you’ll have
A more COMPELLING 

life going forward.
For NOW…
I trust & hope this 

is useful to you.
Here’s to an INCREDIBLY
healthy,
Restful, purposeful,
productive,
Prosperous, fulfilling &
blessed year ahead
…for YOU & your 

loved ones!
P.S. Let’s MAKE EVERY
DAY COUNT…
Not just the new year.
All we have 

is NOW.
