Happy new year!

Is there something you know you want, but you perpetually put off until tomorrow, next week, next month, and eventually that becomes next year?

Next year isn’t guaranteed.

My dad’s first restaurant in Atlanta was “Lenny’s” and lasted 10 years (with a 2nd location in between) before it all went bankrupt in 1989.

Then he opened "Pizza Works”, a craft pizza restaurant in 1991 and sold it in May 1993.

Before he could get to his next thing, he died in August 1993 at 49 years old.

I was 14 but the message was imprinted: Stop putting off things you want to achieve.

It’s not about doing more.

The more goals you chase, the slower your progress toward each one.

Too much of your time is spent jumping from direction to direction. Prioritize your goals rather than trying to chase them all at once. You’ll achieve more in less time.

Narrow your focus.
This is our common challenge and we invite you guys to do it with us.

Here’s how:

1. Write down all your goals. Write down everything you want to achieve. 
2. Narrow your list to the top 3-5. If you need a few days to knock this out then ok, but get this done.
3. Post your goals voluntarily and publicly so everyone can see them. 
4. Do the work daily that moves you closer to achieving those 3-5 things. 

Here are our 3 goals for 2024:

1. Revenue: achieve $100k in sales 

2. Relationships: book 30 new clients

3. Giving: provide at least 25 hours free design work and/or at cost merch for startups and non profits

That’s it. If you want to post your goals in the comments below or on our insta or FB @odomdesigncompany no problem!
Happy New Year
