Every time you meet someone who’s crushing their goals, it’s tempting to believe they have some rare trait you don’t. Discipline, maybe. Or raw talent. Maybe they’re just born with a stronger will.

However, more often than not, that’s not the case.

The truth? High achievers aren’t always smarter or luckier. What they are is consistent. They’ve built a few core habits into their daily routine that most people don’t do. And these habits, while not glamorous, are repeatable. Boring, even. But powerful.

Let’s explore seven success habits that consistently show up in the lives of people who actually follow through on what they say they want.

Because in the end, goal achievement isn’t some elite club. It’s just a set of decisions, repeated long enough to produce results.

You don’t need another motivational quote about climbing mountains or chasing dreams. Right? So, let’s skip the fluff. You’ve already built the business you truly want. Maybe even a few businesses. Here’s the catch no one tells you once you hit $1M, $5M, or $10M in revenue: momentum can get harder, not easier.

You stop setting goals because you’re “too busy.” What you really mean is that the old goals stopped working.

So, let’s reset that. No more 5 AM yoga if you truly hate mornings. Let’s explore seven real, high-leverage goals that help you create a better version of yourself and your business, with some joy left in the tank.

Would you like to know how to legally reduce your taxable income?

If Heck Yes, you want to listen to this interview with Carlotta because she is a wealth of information related to helping you learn how to legally reduce taxable income on your next tax return.

At the age of 14 Carlotta Thompson decided she wanted to work for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), so she began studying tax law with that dream. Shortly after attaining her dream of working for the IRS, Carlotta realized that the IRS wasn’t actually the place to help small businesses like she’d thought, and it felt like she was working for the wrong side. As an auditor, she saw tons of tax returns with sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of missed deductions that were detrimental for clients. Carlotta created a bigger dream and mission to directly help business owners pay the least tax legally possible by creating Tax Strategists of America. She created a program to help business owners pay the least taxes legally possible.

You can find my interview with Carlotta Thompson at https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573, https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id305208343, https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/, and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries.

Deadlines! Those little digital bullies that sit in our calendars, mocking us with their red font and exclamation points. If you're listening to this, chances are you've had a recent intimate encounter with the panic-inducing phrase "due yesterday" or found yourself crafting yet another creative excuse about why your project is fashionably late.

Don't worry – you're not alone in this deadline disaster dance. We've all been there, promising ourselves we'll start that important task "first thing tomorrow" while simultaneously opening another browser tab to watch videos of cats being confused by cucumbers. Here's the thing: breaking deadlines doesn't just stress you out, it's like slowly deflating your professional reputation one missed due date at a time.

Did you know that if you don’t start a task within the first 72 hours you are very unlikely to do it at all? Regardless of how difficult, time-intensive, or complex a task is we need to get started within 72 hours. This doesn’t mean you have to finish within 72 hours, it just means that you need to start. Keep that in mind when scheduling and planning.

The good news? You can absolutely turn this ship around, and you don't need to sacrifice your sanity (or your Netflix subscription) to do it.

It’s a brand-new year, 365 days filled with tons of possibilities and opportunities! The truth is, we all get the same amount of time each year. The only thing that sets the extraordinary apart from the average is how they choose to invest each moment. Every second is either pushing you closer to your dreams or keeping you where you are. So ask yourself, are your actions today setting you up to win tomorrow?"

I want to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am for your trust, your business, and your ongoing support. It’s an honor and privilege to serve entrepreneurs and driven professionals like you who are committed to growth and making an impact.

I believe in the power we have together—you and I—to create positive change in the world. That’s why I’m so fired up about continuing to serve this community and watching us rise to greater heights in 2026.

2025 is already behind us, and I know we’re just getting started. My hope is that you will build on everything you have accomplished and take your business to the next level this year.

When committed, goal-driven people like you align, nothing is out of reach. I’m excited for the opportunities ahead and want to remind you that I’m here to support you however I can on your journey to have your ideal business and ideal life.

Here’s to a year of health, happiness, and prosperity. Make 2026 your best year yet!

This is a poem by Linda Doucett that I hope you was fun and hope you enjoy.

'Twas the eve before Christmas.
I left it too late.
The shelves are all bare.
Oh, why did I wait?

I swore I'd shop early,
I clearly remember,
And be done with it all
By the first of December.

But now here I am
With picked-over stock.
The boxes are crumpled
On the Marvel knockoffs.

Sweaters too big,
Slippers too small.
The pushing the grabbing,
Get me out of this mall.

I will stop at the drug store
And purchase a card
And fill it with money.
Why make life hard?

It always fits
And suits everyone's taste.
No need to wrap it.
That's just a waste.

But should you not like it,
Dear, have no fear,
If you'd like to return it,
My pocket's right here.

Something a little different and hopefully you enjoyed this poem. Happy Holiday!

Do you ever end the day wondering where all your time went? Your to-do list is still overflowing, your calendar is jammed, and yet the results don’t reflect the hours you’ve put in. The truth is that most people don’t have a time problem, they have a focus problem. Time blocking is the simple, powerful habit that flips chaos into clarity. By deliberately assigning blocks of time to your highest-priority tasks, you take control of your schedule, eliminate decision fatigue, and finally create space for the things that matter most.

To help you with being even more time efficient, let’s explore:

1) The benefits of using time blocks,

2) What they look like in real life,

3) When not to use them, and

4) Ways to stay motivated during blocked-off periods.
