Why You Should Not Get Motivated for 2022

Zack Greenfield • January 7, 2022

It's the first week of 2022, we're back at it just like you are, and we're trying to figure out how to get motivated for 2022. And it hit me that I actually think that's a bunch of crap. So I'm gonna tell you why you should not get motivated for 2022.

Here's my reason why - 2022 is just too much to get motivated for a whole darn year. And it's way too big to think about the problem with thinking about huge things like that, to try to get motivated and excited about is just too big. And it makes us feel overwhelmed and we start to lose our electricity for the situation, because it just becomes too much. Right? And this is true for anything. If you're trying to get back in shape or be back in the gym, if you're trying do something great or grow your business, trying to do something in your personal life, trying to do something in your spiritual life, it doesn't really matter what the category is. 

If you start thinking about the whole year, it just seems like an awful lot. So my advice and what I like to do is to not think about the whole year, completely throw that out window. It's just a number on the calendar. It doesn't matter anyways. Focus on the next 30 days. In 30 days, you could actually probably get yourself in pretty good shape. You could make some really big moves with your business and your marketing. You could change your spiritual life in 30 days, you can do a lot in days and think about if you go 30 and then do another 30 and then do another 30, then you got 90 and 90 days is like a full transformation, right? According to some marketing experts. So don't even think about the whole year, just go out there and do the next month, really kick and the areas that you want to improve. And I promise you, you're gonna get results by staying laser focused.
