You will find out how to plan and prepare for the new year for your online career, business, side hustle or just for your life in general. And if you are waiting for just the right time to get yourself in order then you are going to be too late. Sometimes it’s best to just get started.

The whole point of planning is that it is something that you do beforehand, not during or after. It’s no point the goalie at a football match stretches his hands up to stop the ball once it whizzes past his ears.

How to Start Planning New Year Resolution Ideas?

You might be wondering where do I start?

Well, first of all, you need to know what you want to achieve, so you might be considering some of the following:

• Next year I want to earn more money
• Next year I want to change my job
• Next year I want to buy/build a house
• Next year I want to save X amount of money
• Next year I want to earn $250 or more per month extra from my side hustle
• Next year I want to start working for myself full-time

That’s the easy part, just like those New Year resolutions we make every year and do not stick to.

How to Write A New Year’s Resolution?

One of the best ways to stick to a New Year’s resolution is to write it down. Having something written in front of you will make your vision clear and make you accountable and a good reminder of what you want to achieve.

To do this you need to make a clear roadmap of where you are now and where you want to go. You have to put a plan in place in how to achieve this goal. So for point one, earn more money you will have to set goals of how to earn more money.

This is where starting a bullet journal to jot down your new year resolution ideas and goals and being able to visually see what your plans are in living color is a perfect motivator.

Assess whether you have a special skill that you can make more money from? Have you contacted companies that require your skills, your service or your product? Have you networked with old school, college or work colleagues?

Try looking them up on LinkedIn rather than Facebook to see what they are up to, they might just require your services. And always have an alternative roadmap or a plan B. Just remember maps have A roads and B roads but they both get you to the same destination. Plan B will be your contingency plan.

How to Achieve Your Online Work Resolution?

Step 1 plan to

1. Know where you currently are
2. Know where you want to be
3. Know what your skills and abilities are
4. Know what product or service you intend to market
5. Plan how you intend to market your product or service
6. Know how much time and money you will need to invest

You may have seen this before but use this motivational speech of Arnie’s as a source of inspiration for your New Year resolution ideas, plans and preparations. It contradicts what I was saying above but I can definitely understand the reasoning. Sometimes our plan B acts as a crutch rather than motivation to reach our goals

See which method works for you. To have a safety net or not to have a safety net of a Plan B. I used both methods and had success with both methods and sometimes having a little bit of fear can really get you to fulfill your goals.

How Do You Start Preparing for New Year Work Resolutions?

I’ve been advised by a mentor that if you have a special interest or want to get into a certain field always get in touch with the relevant people or companies with the knowledge.

There’s no point waiting on family and friends to make you an offer, it’s something that you have to do for yourself and you will feel so much better for it.

New Year Resolution Online Work Tips

Try to apply to 5 – 10 companies per day in your field of expertise. Jot down the companies, names, dates and so on, in your bullet journal using a color-coded system of when applied to, deadline, when to chase up and so on. This can be done in a colorful chart form.

Do not send out a generic correspondence, find out the name of the right individual if you can and sell yourself, your services or your product like your life depends on it. Cold calling can also work but if you have someone within your network that can hook you up with a name that’s even better.

One thing to remember, do not dismiss your church family and club or association groups for networking opportunities. Outside of church and clubs, the members go to work just like the rest of us or may have businesses and have great contacts. Try to use their knowledge to your advantage.

So for preparation, you will need to:

1. Update your skills if necessary
2. Create an online presence
3. Network
4. Stay motivated and be determined
