This is the year for saying YES more. Yep, that’s right – I’m saying YES in 2020. This isn’t a New Years Resolution. It’s just a life resolution to be a bit bolder and take up opportunities as they’re presented to me.
What am I saying YES to?
Earlier this week, I mentioned in a LinkedIn post that I had seen an advert from Hatch about a free online course called ‘Learn how to invest in 2020.’ In the past, I likely I would have dismissed this as I was ‘too busy’ and ‘didn’t need it’ but, in taking the course, I realised there were a few things I needed to brush up on.
You don’t know what you don’t know!
It got me thinking, what else have I said YES to recently? I’ve learned a bunch of new skills to enable me to do more DIY projects around home (thank you Youtube!), signed up and completed multiple Google Digital Garage and Analytics courses, I’ve even attended various online webinars. Basically, I am actively putting myself in situations where I know I will learn something new… I realised I want and need to learn more! It’s awesome and I know that I wasn’t doing that 12 months ago.
Admittedly, things are a bit different for me now than they were this same time last year. Because I’m self-employed and largely working from home, I’ve been able to take advantage of the increased control I have over my time. However, based on the experience I’m having now, I know I should have been doing this anyway!
A challenge for you:
So, here’s what I want you to do:
Make 2020 the year you put yourself out there and starting saying YES. Because people are bombarded with so many events and adverts, I reckon it’s easy to say no by default. Therefore, I think people need to re-train their thinking and allow themselves to get into situations where they can gain positive experience and learn new skills by saying YES – even if it’s uncomfortable.
YES!
