So if you’re like so many of us, you started off the New Year strong.

Swearing off refined sugar, promising yourself to hit the gym 4 or 5 times per week, to get more rest, and to drink more water and less wine.

(Or, was that just me??)

And as for work, you promised yourself that you would hit all of the benchmarks that were set out in your 2017 year-end review…

… so that by the end of 2018 you’d be rewarded with that leadership position or salary increase that you’ve been wanting for a while now.

Or so you’d have accumulated the key skills you need to get your next dream job.

• You’d go after that key assignment— get it and kill it!
• You’d make sure your boss knows that it was YOU (and not Ben) who did that project that benefitted the company bottom line.
• You’d start subtly making your case for why you DESERVE more money.
• You’d increase your visibility.
• Or you’d be more focused and efficient so you could get more done during the workday (so you could have your nights and weekends to yourself and your family).

Whatever it was, you started off strong…as we all do.

But then life – or that This is Us marathon – got in the way.

And both the fitness and the work goals fell to the wayside.

And now, here we are in September, and you’re not where you thought or expected you’d be by now.

And you’re thinking to yourself, forget it! It’s too late. I’ll just start again next year.

2019 is a nice round number…(??)

I’ll buy a bigger suit jacket …

I’ll go after that promotion next year…

BUT, even as you are thinking this, you’re disappointed, because you’re letting yourself down.

Again.

You had the best of intentions.

You deserve that promotion NOW, not a year from now.
