Welcome to 2019.
I say again … welcome to 2019.
So how was your end of 2018? I have so many questions for you and so many things I would like to know such as:
How was your Christmas?
How was your New Year’s Eve?
Did you have an immense time over the festive break?
There is one question however that for me takes all focus and this question is the question I want you to read 10 times and think about 10 times and this is question is:
WHAT COULD I DO BETTER IN 2019?
So, let’s really let that sink in right now ok?
What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019? What could I do better In 2019?
That should have sunk in by now right? It really is quite simple to be honest.
There are lots of questions you can ask yourself and I will share lots more after we have discussed this question. Think about your 2018 and what you could have done better. Could you have managed your health and fitness better?
Could you have managed your money better in 2018? Were your priorities in order last year? Did you spend enough time with your loved ones in 2018?
Did you laugh and smile enough last year?
For me, this year, I want to focus more on maximising my time and being uber efficient which should mean I will be really present and awesomely focused in 2019…
So, what other questions could you ask? If you have been reading this column for some time, then you will remember I shared many questions to ask back in January 2018 so I want to share some of them with you again now as they are so tried and tested and proven to skyrocket your life:
- Who am I really?

- If this were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?
