Hey, Dan here. And it is 2090. Wow,
that is kind of cool and was freaking awesome. At least on my end.
Hopefully it was a great year for you. And hopefully you've caught my last couple of videos about making 2019 and even better year.
And in this video, I want to share my approach to looking forward on the year basically. And what I do rather than say New Year's resolutions are setting goals.
Now, a lot of people have success with setting really concrete goals, you know, I want to lose three pounds per month doing this.
And, you know, I want to earn X amount of dollars. Personally, that's never really worked for me. I don't know if it's a personality type thing, being an ENFP.
I don't know if it's just something else, you know the universe telling me something. But what has worked really well for me is setting an intention or a theme for the year and really looking at that.
So I've had years that have been about it adventure where it's like, hey, this year, I'm going to be traveling a lot, I'm going to be having a ton of fun.
As long as I don't go broke this year is a victory. You know, my first year when I left Canada, my goal for the year my theme I should say, not really a goal was to have as much fun as possible and be able to pay for it.
And that's what I did. I had an insane year that you're traveling to Costa Rica, you're driving super cars, going on road trips, going, skydiving, doing all this stuff.
And I came out of the year, you know, equal I didn't go in debt for that or anything. I earned what I needed to pay for this great lifestyle. Then I look at like last year 2018.
And my theme for the year at least from a business point of view was about kind of growing up a little bit and
starting to build a team starting to get some type of systems in place and get more organized in that. And the other theme for my year was to start connecting with more people.
And I hosted three events. One in Mexico, one here in Prague and one in Spain.
And that was really what I used to look at the year and of course, there were other goals and other things I worked on. But when I was looking forward to the years like, yeah,
I want to grow things become more organized and systemized as a business and also connect with people a lot more because that's something
I was missing doing a lot of my work online. Now I will get into my theme for 2019. But before I do I want to get into that for you.
What do you want 2019 to be about? You may even want to pause this video. And just take a little bit and think about the overall theme.
And before you do one thing I do want to mention is that sometimes we have a tendency to react when it comes to the theme.
So let's say you're someone who's not very organized and you have trouble sort of staying on top of things you might think, hey, my theme for is to become super organized. And I know I know, for my business, that was sort of my theme.
But can I share something honestly, that I didn't make that much progress on that, like, yes, my business is running way better.
I've actually pretty much doubled my business over the last year. I've had I'm really proud of the last year. But it didn't really come from becoming some insanely organized person and developing systems.
Because those aren't things that I'm great at a lot of what helped grow the business was having a team now doing things that really excite me like throwing event making more videos.
And so be careful when you're setting your theme that you don't react to something like if there's something that isn't a strong point for you.
But it may be isn't ever going to be a strong point. Maybe you're an ENFP and being really organized and structured isn't something you love.
So I don't know if I would make my entire theme for the year to be that you want to have something I think that will also
excite you so that there's some momentum to do it. So it is about becoming more structured then maybe tie that in with an another theme is well that will
be exciting for you and then you'll have the energy to push you forward to become organized as well. I hope that makes sense. I've talked about this in a few other videos as well where if your main focus is on something you don't really love, you're not
going to have nearly as much energy as if you put your focus on an even bigger, more exciting goal and then have the becoming organized or systemized as part of that. And that's actually what I learned over this year as well. When I did for myself set.
One of my major themes for the year around being organized and systemized and found it doesn't really excite me that much, even though the result of
becoming more organized, more structured really excites me having more freedom and having more possibilities of what I can actually do.
So looking forward to 2019, I was thinking about this actually, in one of my group calls while I was talking to other people about this. And I was thinking, actually, what is my theme for the year and I came to being scared, you know,
2018 was a great year for me, I really took care of my health, there's still some things I'd like to be doing. And maybe I'll get into that on another video.
But in terms of my health, I lost a bit of weight, I feel way more energized and better by business, as I said, is probably doubled over the year. And things are just good, I really happy one of the things that scares me a little bit is maybe becoming
too comfortable, you know, I'll think about doing things maybe taking a certain trip or living in a place that I've done before, when I had less resources.
And sometimes I feel a resistance to that now. And I worry maybe it's because of like my family history or something. But I worry about becoming a little too conservative or comfortable and losing some of that
courage that helped me originally create this life I have now and I know that kind of goes with becoming older and just life you know, people are younger, they take more wrist. And as you get older, you tend to take less risk
. And I really don't want that to happen, at least not too strongly. So I don't know how it will play out. But one of my themes for this next year is around being scared, doing things that challenged me again, going into the
unknown, taking on challenges that I don't know how I will solve when I take them on. But accepting them and then figuring it out as I go if I had to pick another part of the year as well. I think for me, it's around doing
even more in my strength and doing more fun things tied with that I have something I'm not quite ready to announce it. But something involving in person events and visiting a ton of different cities over the next year that really, really excites me and
it's all tied in with this theme of just making it more fun as well. Like I love my life. I love what I do. I think I have a pretty good gig in life that I've created for myself and I love you know, working with you guys and making these videos but I think
I can have even more fun on top of it all. So my theme for the year is to be scared and to have even more fun now it's your turn in the comments below.
