New Year, New You: Setting Goals That Stick

A new year means a fresh start. It’s time to set goals that inspire and deliver results. Begin by reflecting on last year—celebrate wins and learn from challenges. Use these insights to create SMART goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

The key to success is turning those goals into action. Build systems like time-blocking to stay focused, weekly reviews to track progress, and habit stacking to create new routines. Break big goals into smaller steps to make them manageable and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Don’t go it alone—share your goals with an accountability partner or join a group of like-minded entrepreneurs. And remember, flexibility is essential. Adjust your goals if needed, but keep moving forward.

This year is your chance to grow, improve, and win. Ready to dive deeper? Check out the full article here: New Year, New You: Setting Goals That Stick.

Make this year your best one yet! 🎉

From Resolution to Revolution: Jessica Matthews’ Journey

On New Year’s Eve 2011, Jessica Matthews made a resolution to tackle global challenges with innovative solutions. As a Harvard sophomore, she saw the energy gap in underserved communities and asked, “What if everyday activities could generate power?”

This question led to the creation of the Soccket, a soccer ball that transforms kinetic energy into electricity. By 2013, Jessica co-founded Uncharted Power, a company dedicated to clean energy solutions like kinetic tiles that produce power with each step. Today, her work has brought sustainable energy to thousands of people worldwide.

Jessica’s story proves that resolutions can spark real change. “Find a problem you care about and commit to making a difference,” she advises.
