The Problem We SolveWe are amazed of how often people
Abandon their goalsChange plansDon’t think creativeGive up, settle, and then regret
The reasonsProcrastinationLack of peer support and encouragementSudden drop in motivationLack of informationLack of planning or bad planBad choicesFear of changeNot enough of financial budgetLack of time or bad timingMany other
The problem with the resolutions isn’t something inherent to making
resolutions themselves; the problem lies in whether (1) said resolutions
are realistic and (2) resolutions have a plan.
