Year End Strategy Planning Do's and Do NOT's! Jake Dixon

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever December rolls around I am always obsessing with future casting of what I want to accomplish for next year and this year is no different---typically  I will look back at my last 12 months and take note of what worked well for me and what things didn't go so well and then course correct.  Hopefully, I can see what I need to double down on and what I need to let go.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes I double down on losses----If I had bad year trading stocks I will double up my positions and dig in to not only reverse my losses but, turn them into blockbuster returns---I always end up losing more because I start making bad bets.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes I find something that has worked well and think that I am so good at that nowadays that I don't have to focus on it any more-----I always end up replacing a good habit with a bad habit,</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can do an hour on goal setting but, I'm not-however I do want to take a few minutes and talk with you about the framework that I have found to be most effective to not only set goals but, to actually achieve them.  The first 2 things that I consider is what pillars in my life do I really want to change?  For me---in some years financial is my primary goal and to be honest, that has been my primary driver for most of my life but, in those years that I only focused on my financial pillar-----I started to see an eroding in other areas of my life----for me invariably---as my financial pillar grew my health pillar started to lose height.  I spent more time engaged in work I don't have time to work out or eat right.   There is always a push-pull in life---because we all have the same amount of time we all experience a pushing forward and simultaneous pulling back.  I am not going to cover how to hack the system and how leverage can change all this----I just want to provide you my framework to design my life.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="fon
