Forget about goals this year—here’s what works much better As the new year approaches, many of us set ambitious goals that unfortunately often go unmet, leaving us feeling discouraged and demotivated. But the key to long-term success lies not in lofty resolutions but rather in simple, consistent daily habits. Small actions like responding to client inquiries, following up on payments, or dedicating focused time to your craft each morning may not seem momentous, yet when compounded over weeks and months their impact grows exponentially. So instead of setting yourself up for disappointment with unrealistic goals, build lasting habits now that lead to steady progress over time. Commit to whatever habit resonates, and maintain consistency above all. You may be surprised at what you can achieve by starting small but sticking with it all year long.
