Why the New Year’s resolution is a stupid tradition that you should avoid at all cost.
New Year’s resolutions are not for smart entrepreneurs. If you made a New Year’s resolution this year, erase the resolution label and make it just another goal on your long list. Waiting to set a goal until New Year’s Eve or Day is only proving your a procrastinator.
