I Ditched New Year’s Resolutions and Did This Instead… My Life Changed Forever

from Mastering Risk · host Dr. Jeff Donaldson, CD

Send us Fan MailWhy do 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail? Because most people never pause long enough to ask the real question: “Am I even on the right track?”In this raw, no-BS 2025 year-in-review video, I walk you through the exact three-step process I’ve used to rebuild my health, turn my company profitable, and protect my sanity while the world went completely insane around me.I’ll show you:* Why I threw out resolutions years ago and replaced them with one big, unbreakable annual goal * The “pause and ponder” method that forces brutal honesty about your actions, integrity, and reactions to chaos * How to build a crystal-clear life strategy across the only five areas that actually matter (personal, professional, leisure, family, community) * The visualization technique I use on a whiteboard to erase excuses and face the truth * Why I now set goals in complete silence (and why telling people actually hurts your progress) * My realistic, no-nonsense 2026 plan that splits the year in two for maximum focus and resultsThis isn’t fluffy motivation. It’s a self-confessional from a 55-year-old entrepreneur, former smoker, heavy drinker, who finally got serious about getting healthy.If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, beating yourself up, or letting external chaos derail your life, this video will give you a simple, repeatable framework to reflect, reset, and actually move forward.Watch it all the way through, grab a notebook, and try the process yourself. I promise it will hit differently when you’re brutally honest with yourself.Free strategy guides & more resources: https://www.preparednesslabs.caPodcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1046719Let’s make 2026 the year you stop wishing and start winning.Support the showhttps://preparednesslabs.ca/
