New Years Resolutions Dont Work.

• 25% of people quit their New Year’s resolutions after one week.
• 60% quit within six months. (The average person makes the same New Year’s resolution ten separate times without success.)
• Only 5% of those who lose weight on a diet keep it off; 95% regain it. Most gain back more than they originally lost.
• ven after a heart attack, only 14% of patients makes any lasting changes around eating or exercise.

But while New Year’s resolutions don’t work, goals do. Surprised?

Outline exactly how you are going to get from point A to point B.  Whether that’s saving 10% of every paycheck or going to the gym 3 times a week. Quantify your action items.
