New Year’s Day is every person’s birthday -What’s your Resolve?
It gives us the chance to start anew.
New year resolutions are as old as civilization itself.
4000 years ago, the Babylonians were said to be the first people to AIM at resolving to be better in the new year,
For the Chinese, a gathering of family and friends offers to way to mend broken relationships and strengthen old ones.
The Greeks would parade babies in a basket to depict god’s annual rebirth.
Egyptians would also use infants as a symbol of rebirth.
The Romans named January after Janus, the mythical king with two faces,
One in front and the other at the back of the head.
He could look back at the past and forward into the future.
So January 1st became the symbol for making new resolutions.
Romans sought forgiveness from their enemies and exchanged gifts with friends.
They gave each other Coins, imprinted with Janus’ depicting his two faces.
Today, people resolve to making more money, get in-shape or quit bad-habits,
But the way they start it is like the new year being a fresh start for their old habits.
Most people go about setting their New Year goals all wrong.
A survey shows that most people forget their New Year promises by the first two weeks of the new year,
Almost everybody would have forgotten them by midyear.
And that’s why 91% of resolutions fail.
But this won’t happen to you in 2018. Here’s why…
Over the past year, I’ve dedicated my time to sharing my journey as an internet entrepreneur on my blog, I wrote and published what I learned on Amazon and reignited my ThinkMaverick Magazine.
I want to help more people to stay focused, become more productive, and have an even more fulfilling year ahead.
2017 has been a very fulfilling year for me,
- Income: My publishing business took off to over 6-figures. My wife and I sold hundreds of thousands of books from our bedroom..
- Travel: Brought my parents and ourselves to a winter retreat in the Austrian Alps for a month.
- Outsourcing: Hired freelancers to take over some of our responsibilities.
- Exercise; I hiked for 3 kilometers, took weights and ran 6 kilometers each week. (My stamina and diet improved dramatically)
- Planted a new flag: Started another company called ThinkMaverick, Inc. in the USA. In the process of doing so, reduced our tax and cost implications for our business. Our existing company is based in Singapore.
- Investing: Took up a new interest in Cryptocurrencies. Invested a portion of our profits into Bitcoin and various other Altcoins.
- Learning something new: Started a new blog called coinzodiac.com;Experimented the site with Amazon AWS and their whole range of website setup services.
- Helping others: Donated a portion of our profits to a cause and sharing my experiences and knowledge with others.
and a whole lot more,
Resolutions are easier said than done.
I didn’t start by shooting for the moon at the beginning of the year.
I AIMED to be a little better at what I do each day. And a little less impatient with progress.
Most call it Self-improvement. I call it the Maverick Pledge.
