5 New Year’s resolutions for success

A new year is the perfect circuit breaker. Check your progress, reset your plan and set yourself up for a stronger year ahead.

Have you made New Year’s resolutions? Whether you make them, or break them, really comes down to one thing. You need to stay on track, with achievable steps. Whether you want to get fit, eat healthier meals, save for an investment property or travel the globe, these five resolutions will help you get there.

1. Set clear boundaries

If you don’t lock in boundaries nothing changes. Want to get fit? Block gym time like you’d block an important meeting and don’t bail. Treat your goals like appointments you actually keep.

2. Take responsibility

Stop waiting for someone else to fix things. Own it. You’re the one with the power to change your finances, not fate, luck or the market.

3. Learn how to delegate

Stop doing everything yourself. If you’re juggling too much you’re wasting time and energy and losing money in opportunity costs. Delegate what drains you. Hire, outsource or ask for help in anything that distracts you from wealth-building: admin, chores, tasks you dread.

Why not pick one recurring task that drains time or energy, outsource it this week and reclaim that time?

4. Drop what’s not working

The ability to consistently move forward is the overriding factor when it comes to achieving New Year’s resolutions. Obviously, sometimes life gets in the way and you have to press the pause button. Other than that, what stops most people is the search for perfection, rather than progress. Any step forward is a good step, no matter how small.

Taking responsibility means acknowledging that you have the power to change and design your own life.

5. Focus on health and wellbeing

You can’t build wealth if you run on fumes. Energy, clarity and stamina are non-negotiable assets when managing assets or making money moves. Stress kills productivity; fatigue kills good decisions. Protect your energy like you protect your money.

Action step: Pick one no-compromise health habit for 2026, e.g. sleep, movement or stress management, then stick with it.
