Last year’s market performance was fantastic! The S&P 500 increased 23%. With that in mind, what are your plans, strategies, and the new year?
Do you remember your New Year’s Resolutions from 2024? Don’t worry, most people don’t and that’s ok. How did they work out for you last year?
What are your plans for this year? What are your New Year’s Resolutions? How do you think they will pan out?
Unfortunately, most New Year’s Resolutions don’t work. Change is hard and the odds are stacked against you. So why do a lot of people (readers of this article excluded, of course) attempt such efforts?
The Desire to Change
The desire to change is a lot stronger than putting in the effort to do so. You really have to dig deep if you want to make it happen. Do the things that are strenuous, that stretch you, that are hard – like crawling out of a nice warm bed when it’s cold and dark outside to go to the gym. And not doing this just once in a while, but really sticking to it. It’s hard.
A New Approach for the New Year
Instead of thinking about something for a few weeks and then letting it go, what about a continuous plan? Whether it’s for your health, wealth, or something else.
How do you think this approach will work?
You can try it on your own, but what if you work with a professional to help you? They can guide you on your journey and give you tips and tricks as you go.
For example, you can work with a personal trainer, or Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), for health, a financial planner, or CFP® professional for your wealth, and many other experts for other areas where you want help.
Working with experts can help you leapfrog in the new year and get ahead quickly in your efforts, rather than toiling away on your own.
