What are the most important systems to have in place as you start the new year? Personally, I’m building systems and processes for the following:
Morning routine
Evening routine
Finances
Personal development
Fitness
Nutrition (supplements and food)
Career growth
Business growth
It’s all about making sure you have systems in - place for the outcomes you want to create. Then, it’s simply a matter of executing the steps or habits in each system on a consistent basis. systems take the thinking out of doing.
Define Your Why Identify the deeper reason driving you to create the asset. Ask yourself: Why do I want this income? Freedom? Financial Security? Impact? Write it down and revisit it regularly—it becomes your anchor when motivation dips.
Determine Your End Result Be specific about what success looks like. Example: I want a passive income of $2,000/month within 12 months. Visualize the lifestyle, freedom, and opportunities this result will create.
The wealthy don’t work jobs or own jobs—they own systems and investments. Systems create scale and leverage. They change how you make money: money works for you.
We often don’t achieve our goals because they are not time bound. Going to the gym is different than: I’m going to the gym for 45 minutes and will complete the following activities - lift weights 25 minutes and cardio 20 minutes.
Here’s a simple framework for creating a system:
Pick the outcome – Be clear about what you want to achieve. Choose the actions (habits) – Identify the small, repeatable behaviors that move you toward the outcome. Decide when to do them – Attach each habit to a time or trigger. Track your habits – Mark each habit as done so you can see progress. Weekly review – Check whether you completed your habits, celebrate what worked, and adjust what didn’t.
Build a life you love. Don’t prioritize picking a job you like because you’ll do it for the rest of your life. Instead, prioritize designing your best life, then choose the vehicle that will get you there. Most people pick their dream job, but it rarely leads to their dream life.
