I love predictable success!
Don't you?
Because if you've only got one life to live then why waste it being mediocre?
Seriously, I can think of nothing worse!
And the good news is success doesn't have to be some out-of-reach concept available to only a select lucky few.
Follow these 3 steps and you can forget about wondering if you'll make it happen this year, you'll take all guesswork out of it and your success is a given.
1. Write Down Crystal Clear Actionable Goals 🥅
Income goals are great, I just don't find them compelling or helpful enough to get me moving day to day.
That's why I shifted to setting actionable goals instead. They're far more useful!
Actionable goals are when you set a specific task to be completed by a specific time.
So instead of setting goals like:
⦿ Get 100k YouTube subscribers
⦿ Reach 1,000 pageviews a day
Set goals like these:
⦿ Upload 3 videos/week for the next 12 weeks
⦿ Hit publish on a million words in the next 6 months
You see what just happened? You took back control.
Now instead of checking stats and getting discouraged, you're more focused on taking actions that will bring the results instead and giving yourself that all-important confidence boost when you tick each one off.
2. Put Systems In Place 🏗️
Systems are everywhere; ecosystems, political systems, healthcare systems, economic systems, technological systems and so on.

But more relevant to us right here and now, our lives are shaped by our personal systems and our working systems (or lack therof) shape our online business.
Here's the key takeaway:
Good working systems give you an unfair advantage over the competition.
Systems remove uncertainty and the good news is YOU are in complete control over your own systems.
So think about every task you do regularly in your business and build a system for it.
It could be as simple as setting aside a week at the beginning of January to come up with 300 target keywords for the year.
Waking up in the morning without knowing what you're doing = a bad system
Having all your keywords already planned out = a good system
See what I mean? A system doesn't have to be complex. It's more about being intentional about what you're doing and finding ways to do it more efficently.
So whether it's producing content, creating images, replying to comments, managing writers, posting on socials, finding affiliate programs or whatever else it is - put systems in place.
3. Work Your Ass Off 💪
Now you know where you're going and how to get there, it's time to take the steps to actually get there!
This is a hardest part of all - it's what separates the wannabes from the gonnabes.
Did you know that 92% of people give up on New Year’s resolutions?
And only 8% of bloggers make a full-time income.
Why?
There's just nothing glamourous about taking action and most people aren't willing to stick it out.
There's no crowds applauding, the results are delayed and sometimes it's just downright boring...
But you do it anyway.
You show up, you tick off your actionable to-dos and you just quietly get on with it.
Because you know that's what it takes to become an "overnight success". You're going all in and nothing's going to stop you.
"Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich." Proverbs 10:4
I Hope This Helps Someone Today!
Set the right kind of goals, build the right kind of systems and with time and hard work, the results will take care of themselves.
And this works not just for online business, but for your fitness goals, family and relationship goals and whatever else you decide to set your mind to.
Just take a few seconds to imagine where you will be this time next year if you set actionable goals, build systems around them and executed consistently for the next 365 days?!
Come on, let's get it done!

Wishing you an ever-so-slightly belated happy new year and every possible success for 2023!
