Now You’re Talking Network Newsletter December edition: New Year’s Resolutions — in or out?

Welcome! We share a short extract from our monthly newsletter on Medium. Check it out below.

Lola here, and welcome to Now You’re Talking Network’s December newsletter edition! The final Now You’re Talking Newsletter will focus on, ‘New Year’s Resolutions — in or out?

We’ve heard the slogan New Year, New Me, but what does this really mean? Whilst you are reading this I want YOU to define what that means for you and your 2021+. New Year, New Me can be understood in many different ways:

• I need to start going to the gym on January 1st 2021

• I want to adopt a more positive mindset

• I want to invest my money

• I want to get a career coach

• I want to start a side hustle

And so much more, when we think about New Year, New Me, it is truly up to us as the individual to create who we want to be in 2021, and no one else — take up the courage to get your notepad and pen out, set a SMART goal, be intentional and audacious with what you want to achieve and just remember, with confidence, perseverance and consistency, you will become who you want to be.

Here are some takeaways from our Q4 accountability session, where we focused on the importance of setting goals:
