Self- reflection helps leaders avoid burnout and more problems. You don't know everything. You can't know everything. That's why you hire talent.
That's why you delegate appropriately.
The successful operators know when to step back and rely on their team of experts.

A resolution is an idea. Ideas can be powerful. But an idea is not a commitment.
That's why resolutions fail. You are merely pursuing an idea.
When you commit to something you go beyond the idea. You plan. You build systems.
You create accountability for yourself.

Change comes from wanting to change. External forces can't make you change.
This is an internal, intentional effort.
It's hard. But the hard things are the things worth doing. As a leader, if you need to change something, it starts with you.

Focusing on what you think you need but don't have, is unnecessary external stress.
The less you have but value more, is the sweet spot.

“It’s a bargain”
At some point, anything we buy feels like a bargain. Something needs to be worth more than it costs or we wouldn't buy it. So, what makes what you offer a bargain? Is it that you've lowered the price, or have you increased the value?

Making progress in any pursuit requires effort. The new year is a perfect time to start.
This is more than some resolution you won't keep.
This is a conscious effort based on daily habits.
Figure out the 20% of effort needed to return 80% of the results.

Taking a break is leadership. Without rest, you lose focus, clarity, and calmness.
How effective will you then be?
Take a break. Drink some water. Go outside.
I'm giving you permission.
