5 Ways to Start 2022 With A Win

<p>It’s time to kick off 2022, and Adam Contos is here to help you make it one of your best years yet! Whether you’re listening to this episode at the beginning of the year while you’re making your resolutions—or you need to hit that reset button in July—Adam’s 5 Ways to Start 2022 With A Win will give you the tools you need to take ownership of both your professional and your personal lives this year.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>1. Write it Down</strong></p><p>Grab a good ol’ fashioned pen and paper (don’t worry, we won’t be mad if it’s your favorite notes app), and write yourself a contract that says, “In 2022 I am going to do the following,” and make a list. Make a list of the things you want to commit to doing this year—and sign it! Be accountable to yourself. This is often scary for people, because they don’t want to fully commit to something that feels like a fleeting decision based upon their feelings. But remember: Your feelings will keep you from achieving more than not! </p><p> </p><p>And in the spirit of 2022, go beyond what you think you can do and employ the plus-two mindset. Make your list of goals, and add two! You always want to be one step better than what you think you can be, but what if you were two steps better? Want to make 10 sales calls per day? What if you made 12 instead? Whether in business or exercise or relationships, those additional two add up over time!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>2. Learn to Love Learning</strong></p><p>Make a learning list of what you want to accomplish this year, and make a plan to make it happen. And if you actually learned to love learning, what would the results be?</p><p> </p><p><strong>3. Give What You’ve Learned</strong></p><p>Now it’s time to put that learning into action! Take the things you’ve learned and give it to people. Look for opportunities to help other people get better by sharing what you learned. The best way to improve upon what you’ve learned is to actually put into practice.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>4. Create Your Stop Doing List</strong
