As high achievers, it's easy to get caught up in all that life has going on & forget to take a step back and reflect on our goals and priorities. That's where a word or phrase of the year can come in handy. By choosing a word or phrase that embodies what we want to focus on in the coming year, using it as a guiding light to help us stay on track. Do you have a word or phrase of the year? As I shared last week, my phrase of the year is "Follow Through." When I am feeling lazy & want to put something off until later, I remind myself to follow through. By reminding ourselves of our chosen words or phrases daily, we can stay focused on the things that matter most and avoid getting sidetracked by distractions. In this podcast episode, I share seven reasons why I think you should have a word or phrase of the year.  After you listen to the episode, share your word or phrase of the year via email at markeith@markeithbraden.com

Happy New Year! Wow, we are in the year 2023. Can you believe it? The older I get, the faster time seems to go by. Question for you. Did you accomplish all of your goals in 2022? Honestly, I did not, & I was not excited about that. During my reflection time, I concluded that I did not accomplish all of my goals in 2022 because I did not follow through on what I said I would do. It was that simple. I did not follow through. Therefore, I have tagged this year as “The Year of Follow Through.” Everything you desire is on the other side of your follow-through. Commit & do what you said you were going to do. Whether you’re trying to learn a new skill, make a career change, or accomplish a personal goal, following through is a must.
