The new year is here, and I am so excited because you know how important I think creating a clear vision for your life is. So, I wanted to record this solo round at the start of 2018 to share my top tips for creating an incredible year.

And -- you guessed it -- it starts with vision. I broke down the eight areas of life that I believe are the most important ones to have a vision for. This doesn't mean that these are all of the things you should focus on -- these are just the ones I've found to make the biggest impact on my life. I stick to these key areas each year and they haven't failed me yet.

As you listen to this episode, I invite you to write down the ones that really stick out to you. What areas can you push yourself in this year? What areas are you already excelling in? What areas have you never focused on?

Let's make this year the best it can be by creating a strategy. Learn how in Episode 584.
