How Did Erik’s New Year’s Resolutions in 2019 Go? What Will You Do in 2020?

For 2019, Erik tried something new when it came to his New Year’s resolutions; by actually setting resolutions he couldn’t just achieve with one event. They were resolutions they’d take all year to accomplish: some behavioral changes and others were big events that he couldn’t do all at once. He set 3 resolutions: 1. Run 1,000 miles by the end of the year. 2. Get the company’s annual recurring revenue to $1.8 million. 3. Always stop at stop signs and red lights He hit the first one by Halloween, 2 months early! The 2nd goal, we hit and surpassed and we’re currently up to $2.2 million. The stoplight one was no problem, just a bit awkward at first. Most people give up on New Year’s resolutions early in the year because that’s just kind of the thing to do. But it’s truly a missed opportunity because it’s the perfect time to reset your life and start changing your habits. So, it’s December 2019 right now. Start thinking of your New Year’s resolutions for 2020 and get them going come January 1st. Here are Erik’s resolutions for 2020: - He’s going to write and publish a book about the journey to get to $1 million in revenue which took him 10 years. It was not easy (only 4% of companies make it to this number). He’s already about 2 chapters in. - He wants to do really well in a Half Iron Man. - He wants the company to get up to either $3.5 to $4 million in revenue. He also wants the company to collect $2 million in revenue. There’s a difference between an amount you collect and you’re annual recurring revenue. $2 million is the minimum amount you need to qualify for the Inc. 5000 list. - He wants to put out weekly email newsletters for his own personal brand. - He wants to create a weekly interview podcast. - He wants to start mentoring other entrepreneurs; 4 of them by the end of the year.
