Achieving your full potential in 2018


A brand new year has started. It’s an opportunity to start afresh and set some resolutions. This is the year that you’re going to push yourself to achieve your full potential. You’re ready to set your resolutions for 2018. This might be committing to saving more, to exercising regularly, to reading more. The only problem is that you’re not sure where to start. Furthermore, you’re not sure what resolutions will help you to achieve your potential. It’s at times such as this that we need to take external guidance.


Finding your mentor

One way to discovering the steps needed to achieve your full potential is via a mentor. Mentors can be anyone that is further down your life path. Your mentor can be a teacher, colleague, boss, family member or friend. Furthermore, you aren’t limited to a single mentor.

 

Mentors are someone you can consult with and gain insight and guidance from. Typically, they’ve been in your position before. Finding a mentor doesn’t require any sort of formal process. Instead, the mentor - mentee relationship should develop naturally over time.

 


 

Once you’ve identified the person or people that could be your mentor then arrange to meet up. This could be over lunch, drinks, dinner or coffee. However, the point is to meet up regularly and have real and meaningful conversations. For the relationship to work you should feel comfortable seeking guidance and advice from your mentor.


Other forms of guidance

If you’re not comfortable finding a mentor or cannot find anyone appropriate then there are alternatives. For example, there are many examples of psychometric tests that you can take. Examples include the Harrison test or the Myers-Briggs test. Alternatively there are numerology tests.

 

The idea of these tests is to provide guidance. The test outputs makes recommendations such as how to communicate with others, what sort of situations to avoid and guidance towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

 
Ultimately, you can treat 2018 in exactly the same way as 2017. If 2017 was a great year then that’s great. However, if you want to make changes in your life then it’s time to take some actio
