This is his take on resolutions. And I like it.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/words1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"words1\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So here\u2019s how it works. Instead of making new years\u2019 resolutions that you know you will ultimately break \u2013 come up with 3 words that will guide your year. Not phrases \u2013 but WORDS.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These words need to be symbolic or iconic so that they represent an energy or a feeling that will guide you through the year. So choosing a word like MONEY \u2014 may not be the best choice because it\u2019s just too specific and not \u2014 well just not creative enough. It won\u2019t help you achieve what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Think NOUNS. You might choose a word like MAGNET \u2014 to show your focus on attraction or anything else that a magnet may signify. You might choose a word like SPARKLE or NEEDLE or RIVER.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First think of what kind of year you want to create and then come up with a word to symbolize that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Last year, one of my words was \u201cCONDUIT\u201d \u2013 I just wanted to build on my networks and bring different people and ideas together and launch them as a product or an offer. And that\u2019s exactly what happened in my business.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve been picking \u201c3 words\u201d for a couple of years now and have found this to be a much more effective way of staying focused on what I want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diymarketers.com\/2010\/10\/26\/tis-the-season-for-strategic-planning\/\">build and grow in my business<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So what 3 words would you pick?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not sure how long ago this was, but Chris Brogan wrote a post about choosing three words to guide [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":7941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[304,341,210],"tags":[284],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Are Your 3 Words for the Year? | QuestionPro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I\u2019m not sure how long ago this was, but Chris Brogan wrote a post about choosing three words to guide your year.
