Crush Your 2019 Solopreneur Goals With These Tips

To a solopreneur, meeting one’s goals for the year is easier said than done. Because the reality is that we bite more than we can chew. When we try to accomplish many things at once, we end up getting overwhelmed and discouraged. This makes it even harder to turn an action into a habit. 

But it’s not too late to make the changes you desire this 2019. Here are three actions you should take to make sure that you crush your goals. Keep pushing!

Tune out distractions.

Whether you run your solopreneur business from home or an office, there will always be distractions. These distractions can be anything -- noise, thoughts, a phone call, etc. For this reason, it’s essential to prepare yourself for such distractions. Perhaps invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Or put your phone in an airplane mode. Or keep your work space clutter-free. Do what you have to do.

Have more energy.

It’s impossible to go the distance if you lack energy. Having more energy in your life helps you maximize your time and exceed your own expectations. A simple way to manufacture more energy is to prioritize exercise. Have a daily workout routine. You can run each morning or take a 15-minute “workout break” in the middle of the day. Another powerful way to stay energetic is to dwell on positive thoughts and to stay preoccupied in seeing opportunities rather than limitations.

Inspire yourself with rewards.

Once in a while, you’re going to have to deal with a long list of tasks. To crush your solopreneur goals for the year, start contemplating on the rewards you’ll motivate yourself with. Maybe you’ve got your eye on a great book or a week-long trip. Whatever it is that you want, don’t get it unless you’ve accomplished a goal. Many solopreneurs work nonstop and never consider rewarding themselves for a job well done. This can have a negative impact on your health and well-being.

2019 is the year to take your business to the next level. Set your mind to your goals right now and use the tips above. Learn how to focus better, generate more energy, and motivate yourself with incentives. Inch towards the finish line!
