Are you ready to crush your goals in 2024?
1
1551
3730
00:05
I hope so, and I am here to help.

The beginning of the year is technically not any different
3
8771
3450
00:12
than the end of the year.
4
12251
1300
00:13
It's a time and you live your life.
5
13620
2831
00:16
And there is nothing really different about starting a new year
6
16810
3800
00:20
in terms of, "Oh, now you need to change your goals", and "Now you
7
20741
3720
00:24
need to do things differently".
8
24461
1420
00:26
But I'm not going to lie, there is a festive feeling at the beginning
9
26251
4415
00:30
of the year and the end of the year.
10
30666
1439
00:32
Because you feel like you're completing something and starting something new.
11
32186
3050
00:35
And as you know, the beginning of the year is also an opportunity to set
12
35556
4469
00:40
goals and resolutions, to review how the previous year was for you, and to
13
40036
6569
00:46
think what you can do better and how you can feel better in the upcoming year.
14
46605
6048
00:52
Now, goals are wonderful to have, and having resolutions
15
52656
3913
00:56
for the upcoming year is great.
16
56569
1961
00:58
But none of it is going to be achieved unless you take clear action.
17
58780
4880
01:04
So this is why in this video, I wanted to share with you three really good tips
18
64010
4085
01:08
to help you achieve your goals in 2024.
19
68426
2550
01:10
I've based the things that I'm gonna share with you on my experience achieving my
20
70976
4080
01:15
own goals and things that have worked for me, and I wanted to share that with you.
21
75056
3330
01:18
Also, at the end, I'm going to share with you how I can help you
22
78446
3180
01:21
start strong in 2024 in a special free event that we're hosting.
23
81626
5570
01:27
So stay until the end.
24
87206
1410
01:29
So first of all, when you want to achieve your goals, you have to be
25
89035
3110
01:32
really clear about what that goal is.
26
92145
2479
01:34
It has to be achievable, so something that you can actually achieve within a year.
27
94655
4379
01:39
And also something that you can achieve taking into consideration everything
28
99524
3920
01:43
else that is happening in your life.
29
103445
1490
01:45
So it has to be very specific, it has to be achievable, and it has to
30
105265
4930
01:50
be clear so that you know exactly what winning or what achieving the
31
110205
5905
01:56
goal and marking 'check' looks like.
32
116110
3050
01:59
Okay?
33
119399
421
01:59
So make it achievable and make it really, really specific.
34
119889
3321
02:03
Write it down because otherwise it's just a little vague in your head.
35
123589
4170
02:07
You feel like this is what you want to do, you know, 'to get fluent'
36
127770
3159
02:10
or 'to improve your English', but that's vague and unclear.
37
130960
3130
02:14
And how would you know that you have accomplished it?
38
134090
2010
02:16
So, write it down, and make sure you know exactly what that looks like.
39
136330
4990
02:21
The second thing is to take consistent action every day.
40
141430
3710
02:25
To achieve goals, you need determination and you need to work on it consistently.
41
145430
4250
02:29
So when you know what your specific goal is, make sure that
42
149899
3481
02:33
you set time every single day.
43
153380
2379
02:35
And I know it sounds a lot and it sounds tedious, but that's how it is.
44
155759
3141
02:38
It can only be five minutes a day.
45
158900
1700
02:40
It could be a minute of conscious thought of what you need to do and
46
160830
4290
02:45
what you want to achieve, but you got to take consistent action every day.
47
165120
4725
02:50
If you have a big goal, break it down into smaller goals, set
48
170005
3240
02:53
deadlines, and make sure that you take consistent action every day.
49
173245
4740
02:58
That's the only way to achieve it.
50
178035
1740
02:59
If you skip one day, that's okay.
51
179795
1729
03:01
Make sure that the following day you do something to achieve your goal.
52
181525
3310
03:05
If it's something related to improving your English fluency, then
53
185065
3790
03:08
obviously doing anything related to English, as long as it's effective.
54
188875
3690
03:12
And I have a bunch of episodes talking about what effective practice is.
55
192565
4954
03:17
I'm going to link everything in the description below so that you
56
197519
4250
03:21
can have access to all these great strategies so you can plan properly.
57
201790
3859
03:26
But make a commitment and make it non negotiable.
58
206040
3419
03:29
The third tip is to learn to work on your mindset and manage your thoughts.
59
209924
4141
03:34
So, mindset is your attitude towards things and how you interpret
60
214615
3919
03:38
the world and actions that you take, that other people take.
61
218545
4180
03:43
And as a result, it affects how you feel, how you think, and the action
62
223085
5550
03:48
that you take, and ultimately, the results that you see in your life.
63
228644
3161
03:52
So, mindset is so important for any progress that you might wanna have.
64
232275
5880
03:58
It's important to help you live a better life.
65
238425
2309
04:01
It's important to help you live in peace, and definitely, to achieve your goals.
66
241054
4861
04:06
So, as part of your daily practice, another thing that is really important
67
246375
3759
04:10
to do is to manage your thoughts.
68
250134
1651
04:12
Recognize the thoughts that get in the way: the thoughts before the practice,
69
252125
5000
04:17
about the practice, before speaking, while speaking, after speaking.
70
257175
3720
04:21
Anytime you detect a negative thought: "What's the point?"
71
261165
3185
04:24
"This is not going to help."
72
264820
1300
04:26
"I've already done it."
73
266580
1230
04:28
"This is boring."
74
268220
1080
04:30
"English is hard."
75
270040
1240
04:31
"No one's going to want to practice with me."
76
271710
1859
04:33
"I don't feel like speaking because I'm going to make mistakes."
77
273900
2219
04:36
All of these negative thoughts are beliefs that limit your potential.
78
276580
4139
04:41
And when you think those thoughts, sometimes they're even subconscious.
79
281049
2921
04:43
They go through your head so quickly, but they affect your mood.
80
283970
3730
04:47
Because when you think a certain thought and that thought is negative,
81
287850
3350
04:51
all of a sudden your energy drops.
82
291550
1820
04:53
You feel bad, you don't know why, you just don't feel like doing
83
293965
3930
04:57
something, the general vibe is low.
84
297895
2650
05:00
And then the likelihood of you sticking to your practice, doing
85
300905
4560
05:05
the work, is really, really low.
86
305475
2150
05:08
So, consciously working on your mindset, managing your thoughts
87
308184
3271
05:11
is so incredibly important.
88
311475
2530
05:14
Now, again, I have a lot of videos and a lot of episodes
89
314275
3000
05:17
about how to manage your mindset.
90
317315
1770
05:19
I even have a program called My English Mindset, that I'm going to link below,
91
319115
4009
05:23

3830
05:32
your mindset when it comes to learning and practicing English.
94
332725
3360
05:36
Because that is definitely going to help you achieve your goals in 2024.
95
336105
5085
05:41
Now, if you need a little bit more help and you need some boost, then I want to
96
341500
4730
05:46

97

05:51

99
351190
4709
05:55
You're going to get a lot of opportunities to speak so you can
100
355900
3570
05:59
have more clarity about what 2024 is going to look like for you.
101
359550
4820
06:04
And I want it to be different.
102
364580
2280
06:06
I want this year to be more exciting, more accomplished, and more joyful for you
103
366870
5970
06:13

104
