This 2-Minute Monday Mindset is about hitting those New Year’s Goals that were so important when you made them.
Are You Part of National Quitter’s Day? Let’s Change That!
Did you know the second Friday of January is known as National Quitter’s Day?
That’s the day most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions.
They couldn’t even last two weeks!
Many of these resolutions are about being healthier – working out, losing weight, eating better—because a healthy body equals a healthy mind.
Many are business goals – more patients, higher revenues, raving fans—because a healthy business also equals a healthy mind.
What do physical trainers and business coaches tell us yet we don’t really hear it? Just show up!
The hardest part is actually showing up, because there will be many times we don’t feel like it.
Showing up with goal responsibility is hard, challenging, and many self-sabotage and fail, saying “I’ll do better next year!” And next year merely repeats the usual failures and quitting. Giving up is easy. Showing up every day is hard. When you do show up, after that, it’s all about progress. And as I like to say, progress is perfection to get you out of feeling the need to be perfect, which often leads to stopping the pursuit of your goals.
We don’t need to be perfect. We just need to keep making progress. But you can’t have progress without showing up—for your team, your family, yourself–
which are the real “why” behind the goals you set. Keep those why’s front and center before you. In pictures, in notes, in your mind and in your thoughts.
If you made it past National Quitter’s Day with your personal and business goals, congrats—keep going!
And if you stopped? Restart today with this mindset because your why’s are too important to fail: show up, stay the course, and focus on progress, not perfection.
Be one of the few who blows past National Quitter’s Day because you’re no quitter. You’re a doer, a progress-maker, and a goal-slayer. Let’s keep moving forward together!
And I’ll see YOU at the next 2MMM!
