Dear Readers, no one saw 2020 coming. So, Dear Readers, if you feel discouraged or disappointed that you were not able to reach your goals, you have to stop it now! You cannot beat yourself up for the disruption that the coronavirus inflicted on all of us. If anything, Dear Readers, you should express the gratitude that you have managed to survive the year 2020 and are in good health!

What you should not do, however, is losing confidence in your goals.
And you should certainly not question whether you, Dear Readers, can go after the life of your dreams and bounce back from COVID-19 related troubles. This blog gets it, 2020 has been quite bruising, and you are probably scared or overwhelmed at the prospect of overcoming the many setbacks you have undergone in 2020. While it won’t be easy, Dear Readers, this blog has a two-step bullet-proof confidence framework to help you get ready for 2021 and boost your confidence to new heights!
STEP ONE: When feeling uninspired or discouraged, you must start with establishing a baseline of discipline to methodically force you to accomplish a few tasks regularly that will bring you closer to your ultimate goal.
OK, Dear Readers, we should have learned in 2020 that the well-known adage that tomorrow is not promised is the truth! Consequently, we should not get in the habit of waiting for the perfect conditions to first materialize before going all-in on our goals and dreams.

Not at all, Dear Readers! You must have the discipline to go after what you want a day in and day out if you are serious about smashing in goals in 2021. Indeed, given that we’ve all experienced COVID-29 related setbacks, the comeback will be more challenging than ever. You may not always feel inspired and motivated to wake up every morning and get to work on achieving anything productive.
If you set a baseline where you have the discipline to work towards your goals consistently, you will effectively commit to succeed.
In time, you will gain a lot more confidence in your ability to have the strength to go beyond your selfishness and do everything you can to make things happen for you and the people who depend on you reaching your goals, such as family members and employees.
STEP TWO: Confidence is a long-distance game. If you are serious about achieving your dreams, you must be willing to accept, however long it will take, to see your goals come to life.
Dear Readers, we all know that life is a marathon and not a sprint. The winners are those of us who are relentless in the pursuit of our goals. Point. Period. Next! So, Dear Readers, if you want to be successful, you must take the time to work on your self-esteem. You won’t get there in one day; only life and professional experiences can strengthen/build/construct/fortify/edify your confidence. So, you must be willing to go all-in for a loooooooong time!

So, for today, your task is to identify three leaders you can emulate and two mentors who can support you for the next twelve months.
Dear Readers, please remember that human beings are not supposed to live alone, cut off from society. Indeed, a sense of community goes a long way in building confidence. You want to have access to a few trusted sources of motivation that will inspire you to keep going even if you don’t yet trust yourself completely. Now be careful, Dear Readers! This blog is not advocating relying on others’ affirmation to make you happy. That is not how you will smash your goals in 2021 or ever! Nop! Instead, the JMS team encourages you to create a support system or cheering squad for the moments when you cannot fathom how to get out of bed, let alone find the strength to keep on living!
So, Dear Readers, take out your goalbook and write the names of your cheering squad down. You also want to write down how often you will communicate with them or the extent of the research you’ll have to complete to understand how your examples became successful. Heck, you can add this blog and email us at jms@branding24seven.com for additional support!
The JMS team is here for you, Dear Readers, and wants to see you succeed! In time, you’ll see that as you incorporate the JMS two-step bullet-proof confidence framework, you will see that your self-esteem will increase as you move decisively towards your goals. Once you can see tangible progress and growth, Dear Readers, you will become UNSTOPPABLE! Indeed, your confidence will come from the ownership you’ve taken in the decisions and actions you make daily. Full ownership of your life brings clarity to what you want out of life. And clarity ushers in a real sense of purpose. If all of this goodness does not bring growth and happiness to you, Dear Readers, what can?
