To your success,
Nisandeh Neta
P.S. Please share this article on social media, so that the ambitious entrepreneurs in your network get a chance to create their best year ever…
What are you going to do now to make sure you make 2017 your best year ever?
Think about it.
I’ve got some ideas for you… or more precisely 100 ways to kick-start your New Year.
My goal is to get you thinking and to inspire you to reach further, go faster, and achieve more than ever before.
This list is supposed to energize you, but if you feel little overwhelmed… start small, focusing on just one thing you want to accomplish.
This life is yours to make of it whatever you desire, so start now!
26. Create a joint-venture deal with a non-competing business who serves the same target audience as yours
27. Rethink relationships (if a friend or relative is putting you down, or is not there for you… it’s time to let them go)
28. Take action now
29. Confront a fear that you’ve always had (I overcame my fear of the dark, by walking 40km in nature, on my own, starting at midnight in a country I didn’t know and didn’t speak the language)
30. Write down your goals for the upcoming year (business, money, health, relationships, family, personal development, contribution…)
31. Stop any social media activity that doesn’t bring you measurable business results
32. Take a television break for a month (or get rid of it altogether)
33. Follow-up on any lead
34. Organize photos (we’re often making collages from all those digital photos cluttering our mobile devices)
35. Find a new way to generate income (preferably a passive one)
36. Make a list of books to read in the upcoming year (here are 3 books that changed my life: Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, Born to Run, The Better Angels of Our Nature)
37. Take more naps
38. Try a new cuisine (last year we fell in love with Lao food, we can’t wait to taste the Nepalese one)
39. Take a break (make a clear transition from last year, to the New Year)
40. Say “no” to obligations, distractions and interruptions
41. Write a NOT-TO-DO list (and post it where you can see it most of the day)
42. Schedule family time (and make it count)
43. You’re going to make a difference in the world, and collect some Karma cookies.
44. Write your bucket list (all the things you want to do, have or be before you die)
45. Talk to a stranger (you might find a new friend…)
46. Work in blocks of uninterrupted time (consider the Pomodoro Technique)
47. Detox your body (make sure you get medical advice before going through an intense detox)
48. Journal (Vered is writing 3 pages every single day for over 30 years)
49. Network more
50. Reconnect with friends or relatives you’ve been out of touch with
76. Get a haircut or new makeup look (I thought of going bald, and changed my mind… Maybe next year)
77. Spend time in nature
78. Have a party (with friends or alone… But make sure to celebrate more often)
79. Invest in making your product or service remarkable
80. Create a supportive environment around you
81. Listen to favorite music (we’ve just spent days listening to Leonard Cohen singing Hallelujah)
82. Join (or start) a mastermind group
83. Find out how much money you need to retire (and make a plan how to get it)
84. Be on the lookout for beauty anywhere
85. Deliver value to your target audience. Every day.
86. Create a promotions calendar
87. Enjoy life (your family, friends, neighbors, clients, suppliers, pets…)
88. Set an intention for the day. Every day.
89. Go to a neighborhood in your own town you’ve never visited before
90. Commit to ask for – and listen to – feedback (from the right people)
91. Go outside more (preferably where the air is clean and the scenery is beautiful)
92. Smile as much as possible (you’ll be surprised how many people will smile back)
93. Get a massage to relax and nourish your body
94. Speed up your implementation. Take decisive action as soon as you’ve got a good idea
95. Every day.
96. Get rid of your ‘flop’ clients
97. Learn a new language (it’s one of the best ways to prevent dementia)
98. Schedule date nights with your partner (and make them holy)
99. Connect to me on LinkedIn (I have some special gifts – only for my LinkedIn connections)
100. This one is for you! – Take a moment and let me know in the comment box below what would you do to kick-start your New Year. A few days after you post your comment – I will send you a secret link to get a VIP ticket to the one-time “Expert Business BLUEPRINT” seminar in February (worth €595).
Just what I need! Inspiration!
Take some silent time every day and during the day just for a few minutes. Waking up early and having some silence is a great method for inner strength and power. Also for creativity!
Thanks for the beautiful list you send!
I would look for a great Joint Venture partner to co-create with us.
Joyce tell me what you need. I might be the one you are looking for.
What are u looking for?
Thanks a lot for this beautiful list Nisandeh and Vered !
For myself I add : More DOING instead of thinking and about doing…
Hi Nisandeh, thanks for the tips, i have printed them to look at regularly. My kickstart this year: I have planned 1 day a week for myself to slowdown, work out and reload (which was very difficult for me), writing blogs every week, we are starting a very excuting joint venture this year with a Belgian company, we have planned a tight taskschedule to implement faster and I started improving my German language skills already last year an will finish it this year. I like the idea of going to places in your own town that are new. I will definately do that! I wish you and vered also a very great year!
It’s a great idea to print them! That way you have a little reminder around the house.
Good idea! Maybe making it a checklist: checkpoint everything you’ve already done. 🙂
Mijn top 3 : nummer 6, nummer 64 maar met stip op 1 : nummer 28 ‘take action now!’
Hey Gert, thank you for your comment, I’m glad you like the points! I would like to remind you to comment in English from now one. We’re becoming an increasingly international community and we would like to give everyone the opportunity to participate in these discussions.
Have a wonderful day!
I like this list!
Some wisdom there.
My tip: spend 1% of your yearly income on something you would normaly never do, but you know if you did, it would make you feel wonderful.
I want to find myself an accountability buddy. And be one at the same time. Anyone interested?
I am interested.
Hi Jos, if you are looping for a sparringpartner or if you are one. Then i am interested!
Hope to hear from you
Great list. And I planned things to start.
In december I took action to buy the implementatiemanager Ninja. Since two weeks I read every day to grow bigger as a professional and sinds ysterday I write down in de morning what my goal is for that day and in the evening there is an evaluation moment.
This year will be the best year.
Hi Nisandeh, great way to start the new year ! For me, I am completing unfinished things to do, so those are no longer in the back of my head, to begin new beginnings like my website thus business. Looking for accountability buddy 🙂
Besides that, ‘giving’ more is on my agenda, living healthier & more aware and loving myself more by allowing me to take that massage for example. So often we are to hars on ourselves, I can say from my own experience. 🙂 So hurray 2017 , actually .. hurray every day again and again and again ..Celebrate life !
Hi Jos, NL or English ? I’m looking for that as well, maybe we can talk and see if we ‘click’? 🙂
Please contact me over facebook… Cynthia Brown…
Looking for a buddy too…
I booked our first holiday for 2017 | Set dates for 4 workshops with 2 business partners | Bought a big calendar for in my office for my goals and big projects | eat fewer calories, drink more water en sport at least 2x a week (the first 2 weeks 1 time a week with a personal trainer + registered for 2 running races).
Do meditation regularly, to get more balance.
This list matches perfect to the super start I began with. Inspiration to maken 2017 the best year ever!!
Wow, that’s really a lot. And indeed I feel quite overwhelmed. But there are at least 10 that I will do this year.
One tip from me (matching tip 1, 5, 84 and 89): I just bought the book “I was here – a travel journal for the curious minded” by kate Pocrass. It helps you to make a visit to a new place unforgettable. (actually I bought 2 copies and gave one away).
First, for you and your team: A very happy 2017!!
Elk jaar tussen kerst en oud&nieuw, neem ik de tijd om het bijna-afgelopen jaar te evalueren en om doelen te stellen voor het nieuwe jaar.
Hey Cynthia thanks and a happy 2017 to you as well!
I would like to ask you to comment in English from now on, we are becoming an international community and we want to make sure that we don’t exclude anyone.
Have a wonderful day
1. Make my business a hugh success, starting with step 1 making my ‘ultimate website’, instead of continuing dreaming.
2. Reboot our relationship after 27 years by ‘ starting all over’, so, by breaking down our common habits and patterns and rediscover each other all over :D. We explore our likes and dislikes, have deep talks and laughs like we did as teenagers during the weekendnights. Just started it and it’s already worth trying 😉
3 Continue to throw everything out of the boat that’s holding me back including so-called friends, habits, thoughts, flop-clients, expectations of/ to others etc. etc. AND keep on taking aboard everything that’s energizing.
Sounds like you’re right on track and super productive already! Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Tnx Anne, yep I chose my ‘track’ begin last year, first clearing many obstacles (most in my head 🙂 ) now it’s time to make a great year for business with passion.
Reboot your relationship after twenty-seven years – big respect. I tried to reboot and start over after just one! Hope it works out for you with more connectedness and harmony as it did for me and my ex… Love and good luck! Harmen.
Inspiration to kick off the new year!
thanks
I did a release ritual at 1st Januari. wrote down things I want to leave behind from 2016, burned some insence and cleared myself with it. It was outside in a forest in the hart of a labyrint. I felt so relieved and refreshed to start a brandnew year with countless possibilities
I just burned my note in the insence
Congratulations Katja! I do same kind of rituals regularly on yearly basis. It works very well. Have fun with your childrenparties, Getting paid for great fun, the best job you can get!
Go on a salsa dancing course with my husband and get a babysitter to watch the kids, even though we’re tired and rather watch a movie on the couch…… We’ve already enrolled, now we need to find the babysitter. Any volunteers? We live in Haren, Groningen ☺︎.
Making my dreams come true!
I Do not read it, do print it for later, because now there is only one focus…
On my book, book, book, book, book, book, book, book, book…
And of course Zero to Million, loved ones, Clients etc.
So much not, nor, not, not, not, not, not for now…
A rich, abundantly and fulfilling year everyone.
See, hear, laugh, listen to and with you!
Yes! Focus Anne,
love from Zeeland
Hello Nisandeh,
Thanx for the tips. My kickstarter is a big cleaning up of my workshop and then on to design (and market and sell) the new guitar amps! Big goals for 2017! :o)
Thanks Nisandeh! This year we are taking a big leap forward in humanizing brands. Blinque Imagineering is formalizing the current partnerships with other companies in the field of customer experience, branding, design, animation, photography and film. In doing so we can offer even more interesting propositions for marketing, communication and brand managers at large companies.
Nice list the one I’m goiing to do first is:
Speed up your implementation. Take decisive action as soon as you’ve got a good idea
Set an intention for the day. Every day.
Invest in making your product or service remarkable
Choose one new place to visit
Hi Tsafi,
You remind me of setting the every day intention and at the end of the day looking back and read / see what has happened with it.
It is a way to get more strength ourselves every day about ourselves is my experience.
It works Well.
Good to remember Tsafi.
Thanks
Ashirda
Make video’s!
I like the list a lot, good for inspiration.
I am still fighting PROCRASTINATION but hopefully, I will be successful in doing so in 2017. New Place: St Martin here I come, including new business opportunities. New skill? I would love to learn something useful like carpentry. In line with stopping procrastination is not wasting so much time but be more efficient and take the time to prepare a proper meal, read books and stay focused.
To kick start my new year I enjoy time playing boardgames with my twins.
The start of a year with way more family time.
Do something that scares me, every week. Yes! Will do!
Redesign my business with the expert business blueprint
Start every morning with silence, affirmations, visualisations, exercise, reading and scribing (aka Miracle Morning) to start the day energised and inspired
Wat heerlijk om het jaar te beginnen met zulk duidelijke aanwijzingen en hints om de toekomst vorm te geven.
Zelfs als je iedere dag maar 1 van de hints uitvoert ben je iedere dag druk bezig je toekomst vorm te geven.
Chapeau.
Hey Jos, I’m glad you enjoyed the clarity of the list and I wish you good luck doing one thing on the list every day! I would like to remind you to comment in English from now. We are becoming more of an international community and we would like everyone to be able to participate.
Have a wonderful day!
Dear Nisandeh,
My goal is to organise and find me a new team by which I can fullfill my strong desire to start with a brand new activity !
Thanks Nissandeh & Vered,
Reading more books is highest on my list.
I actually got a subscription on Blinkist. I can highly recommend it!
What a great list, you can learn always. Thanks. I have started this new year by giving free consult + treatment to all students who are taking yoga training from me. Giving is receiving
Thanks for this long list of 100 ways to kick start the new year. I made a list in excel and chosen the things I want to do this month. Immediately taken action on point 8: Get an accountability buddy. This list will help me to reach my goals for this year.
What a remarkable list. Thank you! For me, this year is all about IMPLEMENTATION. I have so many skill sets and strategy ready to go, but it takes action to implement those. So that is what I will live by this year and hopefully the years to come.
Focus will be my keyword for 2017. An idea? Great, but let’s actually follow-up and implement this year, instead of walking around with 100 ideas and implementing none all the way through. 🙂
As a kickstart for this year I had a brainstorm day with my business-buddy-group to get my e-book, Webalist-website and next year program linked together in a scheme so I have a clear picture of the whole. I will use the list as a checklist. Priority is implement as fast as possible.
My son and I are going to walk El camino (from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostella) in a month (half april to half may).
Wow Marom, what a great news!! Please keep us posted during your trip! I’m a bit jealous to be honest but very happy for you!
Hi love,
Great to see you here and in real life toooooo😘
Thank you for sharing.
I am so gratefull knowing you from special places such as Stibco and OCA. They are so helpfull of giving acknowledge to people. That is needed as a best step forward for love peace and understanding.
Good luck with preparing this “healing” trip to Santiago together.
Love Ashirda
Automate more, take more breaks instead of working for hours, more mountainbiking, more blogging and content marketing, creating more products and at least double my income!
I’m not letting myself down whatever dramatic, frustating or any other kind of discouriging events whill happen this year
I have booked a trip to the Aurora Borealis….. to admire and take in one of the most beautiful and inspiring sights on Mother Earth. I booked yesterday … I need to wait for another year, but it is worth waiting for ! Asgard, here I come.
This is great for inspiration. I will focus on creating a passive income in 2017. Besides that I will visit new places, DIY, start exercising at least 3 times a week, spend time with friends and family (I was too busy the past few years because of finishing a Master study), write the business statement and vision for my business and for my personal life. The list is too long but I certainly created my personal list from it. Thank you!
I’m taking massive action on both my business and my health! 2017 is the year in wich I will get my “killer body” back and make my business SuperYou a SuperSucces!
Wasting time is my first thing NOT to do in 2017.
Reading your list I found it would be possible to achieve some by just taking action to one. My actions
10. Delegate, which makes it possible to:
34. Organize photos (we’re often making collages from all those digital photos cluttering our mobile devices)
20. Stop wasting your time (life is too short)
66. Get rid of clutter (in your house, your office, your wardrobe…)
I am proud to say some actions I already have implemented.
Great inspirational list, thanks. I had already set my goals for my best year yet, but will rethink the goals this evening.
Many thanks for the inspiring list. Never a dull moment.
I will concentrate on doing new things in the coming year, like astronomy, meet new people and visit one new country.
As ever, the hardest thing for me is more discipline in my implementation.
I kick started this year (actually a few days before) by deciding to run the NY Marathon and to raise € 10.000,- for Aflatoun (Aflatoun offers social and financial education to millions of children and young people worldwide, empowering them to make a positive change for a more equitable world). I started even before Christmas by set up the donation action (doneeractie.nl/nyc-marathon-4-aflatoun/-352) and I started training 3 times a week by a training schedule. And of course I signed in for the TCS New York City Marathon on the 5th of november.
And top of all: my 21 year old son is joining me all the way (training, coaching, traveling and running the 42,195 km!).
It gives me a hell of a lot of energy. YEAH!
I made a vision board of my strategy for this year and put it in front of me in my office as a constant reminder of where I’m at and where I’m going to. It makes prioritizing easier and decision making faster.
Hi Nisandeh, your list (as always) is very valuable. I definitely will take laughter breaks and:
41. Write a NOT-TO-DO list (and post it where you can see it most of the day)
49. Network more
50. Reconnect with friends or relatives you’ve been out of touch with
Looking forward to more messages, Marion
I meditate every day for years now and have my own blog ‘Lessons in Happiness’ (Lessen in geluk’). Last year I started to write my first book ‘The greatest power lies within yourself’ (De grootste krachtbron ben je zelf) but did not finish it. My goal is to finish it this year, find a publisher or bring it as an eBook on line.
Thank you for sharing this beautifull gift.
My top 3
2. Create (or re-evaluate) your business vision and mission statements
19. Stop wasting your time (life is too short)
83. Find out how much money you need to retire (and make a plan how to get it)
Ik ga focussen, heroverwegen en opnieuw kiezen, welke wegen te bewandelen. Ik begin weer overnieuw
Hey Sophie a fresh new start sounds wonderful. I’d also like to remind you to comment in English from now on. We’re becoming an increasingly international community and we’d like to ensure that everyone can participate!
Have a wonderful day and a great 2017
Take time to prep your own food! Take care of your body by eating healthy, organic and preferably plant based. This is easily done by scheduling a few hours every week to get in contact with your own food and prep a few items which you can enjoy the rest of the week. Things like homemade soup, pesto, spreads, breads/veggie-loafs, snacks, bars, bliss-balls. No inspiration or cooking skills? Buy a good cookbook and just try and learn! It won’t be all perfect, but you will be so proud that you made it yourself!
What a wonderfull list. And I already have one kick start for 2017.
We are taking a break of one month, going back to nature. Hiking, thinking, re-thinking, relaxing, enjoying eachother and building the energy to go further and stronger with my business. 2017, the best is yet to come.
Very first thing that caught my eye: delegate.
Oh boy, do I need to do this! 🙂
Great list with great inspiration. Thank you!
Happy new year!
I’m starting this year with writing my personal mission statement.
Hi Nisandeh! Thanks for the list. Wishing you and Vered a wonderful year.
Lots of succes with playing the guitar & add singing to it 🙂 Have fun.
Nr. 1 for me is defenitely: stop wasting time!
Visit new places, work on passive income, work on my happiness!
I kickstarted this year by following Nisandeh with his zero to a million. Allready made my first implementations. Making small steps every day
Take action now!
Happy new year!
Following up on these ideas will surely bring me happiness this year. Thanks for sharing, Nisandeh.
Love the new blog and layout!
This is a good beginning of the year! I just started with nr 1 on your list and the new place will be the city Fez in Morocco. It gives me so much pleasure and energy just preparing, reading, even smelling the odours on the markets. Like that I will implement each action from the top as far I didn’t do it yet.
Now starting with the zero-mln program so that is a good action for a lot of the points of the list, I presume.
Have a great year to all of you!
For the zero to a million program, I just re-evaluated my business mission and mission statements. I wrote my first blog after the one I wrote for the business bootcamp and I will write them regularly this year. Furthermore, I will read some of the interesting books I have in my bookcase for at least one chapter a day. And while driving alone, I listen to audio books, to keep on learning.
Take a cold shower. (everyday)
That’s interesting Lex, I’ve heard it’s good for you to take cold showers but I’m not sure why … could you elaborate?
– You feel great afterwards; you feel great (fresher) at the breakfast table;
– You’re practizing your courage;
– It feeds your need for adventure;
– You improve your circular system.
🙂
Hm interesting … maybe worth a try 🙂
Try it! There are little things that wake you up better than a cold shower. I also heard it is good for your health. Not sure about the why on that though.
Hi Anne,
check this innerfire.nl/workshops-whm.
Sounds interesting, however not my target… yet. Somehow this subject is ‘jumping’ in my vision every time. When this happens I just KNOW it will pass my way some day, sigh, pffff.
The first 100 days of the year covered. Do the list a couple of times to make sure you have everything done and double check if you are still doing things and the year is almost over. Brilliant list. Thank you very much Nisandeh. Good that I didn’t just put the list aside but actually made work of it (#100). Hope to see you soon
What great tips!
For the new year I start with the zero to million project. Today I have been connected with a accountability buddy.
Tomorrow I start with my first Yoga lesson.
2016 was the year of change, happiness, luck, best year ever.
And 2017 will be over the top of all. Due to all the courses, I’ve reviewed my vision, mission and business model. Now, I’ve just hired my first employee and moving forward for the next 2 still this year. I’ll double my business income. Now I’m starting the ZtM for even more great things to happen and for having as endgoal 2017 that I’ve doubled my free time for family & friends.
I’m loving it all the way.
What a great list, something new, scary or difficult for the next 100 days!
The first thing I’m going to do is to see how many things I have already accomplished , 😉 Than decide what the first goal(s) will be.
Bedankt voor de tips. Mijn uitdaging dit jaar ligt bij de drie d’s.
Do, deligate and delete.
Daarnaast wil ik iets actiever gaan leven om een betere relatie met mijn lichaam te krijgen.
Ben begonnen met twee keer per week sporten en iedere dag minimaal 30 minuten wandelen.
Heb een waanzinnige deal met een personal trainer gesloten.
En de eerste spierpijn heb ik al te pakken;)
Hey Nathalie, thanks for the comment and it sounds like a great start to 2017 already! I would like to remind you to comment in English from now on. We’re focussing on a larger, more international audience and we would like everyone to be able to read all your inspiring words.
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you for this kickstarter!
For the new year I would be interested to find an accountantability buddy.
It would be great to combine forces with a group of Open Circles who would like to start a mastermind group with me.
Or are willing to let me join theirs. 2017 will be for me the year of connecting with other people to excel together.
Big plans for 2017. Kick-starting with the proces of rewriting my mission and vision, redo my website, start with video’s and making a huge mindmap on my office wall, filled with colourful post-its to have the steps to achieve it all in plain sight.
Gonna be a rocking year!!
I’m putting more effort in learning a new language (Spanish). I didn’t know it’s a way to prevent dementia.
Thanks and a happy new year to you too 🙂
I have put my main goals on the wall so I see them every day. I pulled in a mentor at work who can teach me how to be better in connecting/and helping audience at lectures. I am informing friends about my intentions so they can support me. And I am following you, so I can be that success I am dreaming about 🙂
Take cold showers.
Create my vision board.
Blog.
Delegate.
Give up perfectionism, use my creativity.
I made a print of the email above and it is on my toilet on the wall now. So I can read them a few times a day and my husband and our 6 children also can! It never was so inspiring doing what everyone has to do: going to the toilet…
haha that’s brilliant Mirjam!
I will stop thinking that I am not good enough and that others are way better than me
And what are you going to think instead?
Do, do and do. No fears, just go for it.
I started my employment agency specialized in youth care 4 months ago with 1 temporary employee, in December 9 employees were working only in Noord Holland. Of course it will grow in 2017! In Januari I will find out if my ideas of innovation can ‘live’. I already made my first concrete steps this month and I made some appointments with new people to get more concrete. It’s great to be older than 50 and be a ‘start up’ entrepreneur!
I am SO gonna create a NOT list. I love all the inspiration and start on too many things. And forget to finish.. it is highly frustrating! So this is also the ONLY thing I will do of this list. (Hard..) And please Nisandeh instead of going bald just loosen you hair ribbon once and share the photo…would be highly appreciated.. I am so curious what you would look like!
Hi Gerdy! I’m IN on the NOT TO DO list – same problem here. Please share yours once in a while 😉 I might ‘learn’ some from you ;-).
That’s a great list! I think enough inspiration for several years!
Great list, great timing.. ! Inspired to share with my team new challenges on both sides of growth.. on personal and business level… For me personally I want to breakthrough some long lasting patterns…. and focus!!
100% commintement to my buddy for the zero to a million programme.
Start with good intentions a few days before year end, because a body in motion has more speed 🙂
Not starting up my computer one day a week, to make sure i will not work and free my mind
I kickstarted the year with a half-day in nature and a concert in the evening.
I also commited to a balance of input (learning) and output (implementation) – or actually reverse it from last year: more output, less input. Last year was more input than output.
Within 5 weeks my wife and I will spend a week in Jordan. A first time visit, so nr 1 will be fulfilled soon. No doubt several other points will follow. The list contains many good ones.
Inspiring and for me personal let’s implement (mindset is it all and Wow to walk in the nature in the dark) and not to think it over and over again. Warm greetings to you Vered & Nisandeh. Have a great year with all your plans.
I will graduate for my NLP-PRACTICIONER education and run in the forest regularly, spend more time on marketing and implement what I learn from you, Nisandeh, as much as I can and spend more quality time with my beautiful wife and make her feel like the goddess she is!

Sweet. Thanks. On quite a few of them.
Thank a lot for the great article! For me- Delegate, Journal, Get serious about growing my business and much more!
Great tips Nisandeh! I started 2017 with writing 3 things of what I’m grateful for in my business every day. And if possible how I succeeded in having that specific result. I bought a Gratitude journal to write in. After a year I have a great book on which I can reflect and get more of those succeses in the next year.
Less thinking en more feeling by making decisions.
Meditate…1 hour a day!
I set goals and translated them into monthly and weekly goals. And I work according to a strict weekly schedule with dedicated time to work IN my business and dedicated time to work ON my business. Works great for me.
I just love this! Excellent list, great meaningful suggestion! Thanks 🙂
Dear Nisandeh,
Thanks for sharing all these 100 good intentions!
They can benefit a lot of people, including me.
I surely will print them and give the paper a place
where I see the kicking hundred daily
Thank you for your great energy and positive list, N and V and the team, I wish you a great 2017. New beginnings and new challenges. Thank for the contribution of your business and intentions worldwide. Magic!
70% of your list I already did/do. And I have my own list for sure :-).
2017 is a year of great transformation. In human development, world politics, awakenings.
I start my new direction and business which is totally focused on human transformation. Make people aware, fulfilled and powerful. Mainly on the individual level but it will reflect on the world level of consciousness. Making our world a better place. (and let’s start by giving our children what they need to become happy and mature adults).
And if we are commited to do so as professionals and human beings, it will be the greatest year ever.
Let’s work and inspire.
Thank you again. Looking forward reading more of you.
Do you have a printable version 😉 Great!!
I started last year with an analysis of 2016 en started with a SWOT for 2017. So much opportunities! And identified a weakness I can and really have to work on. So to kick-start: explore an opportunity that leads the quickest to new customers and get the knowledge I need and make that weakness into a strength.
Thanks for the inspiration!
To kick-start this new year I will definitely dance whenever I can. Because I’ve learned that when my energy is high, I can do ANYTHING!
A lot of suggestions I can easily add to my list. Thanx. One of my new to-do things: do every week something to take care of nature. (choose plants to help the bees, a week without plastic, use water wisely, eat a week veggie)
Thanks for the inspiring tips en tricks for all times. Just made a pdf of it for sharing. And I started this time direct with implementation. Cleaning up in the business and collecting old money. Still 97 to go!
Well done Illjitsj :-). Sending you lots of inspiration to go through the other points!
My KickStart is to define my vision and mission and from that point I want to specify my remarkable product for my target audience.
And I will do this with all the valuable knowledge I learned from Open Circles.
100 Inspiring ways … I select 3 which are not in My Best Year Yet 2017 Top Ten Goals to implement
19. Create a Vision Board; 41. Write a NOT-TO-DO-LIST; 78. Have a party
and I discovered my WHY song … Freedom from George Michael
In this next year I am waking up early. Then I will have more energy to plan things in the morning.
In the end this will lead to more focus!
Thanks Neta and team,
90 targets to go ( I have no hair so I can skip nr 76, believe me Neta you win every day 15 minutes when you don’t have hair).
I think the best way for me is to start with nr one and then go down the list.
Thanks for the effort of making the list, some are very funny.
Best Wishes for 2017 for you and everyone you like and love
Greetings
Jan
What i did and do at the moment is looking back and make the changes on what didn’t work. Rewrite funnel, change products, reform systems and just started with online courses. Do less with to-do-list, they just keep you busy and love to manage on the outcomes that i want.
But the list of you Nisandeh is a good example to kickstart many areas, so I will look into it again 😉
Thank you for the inspiration. My tip:
Combine your morning exercises with movements that connect to your goals (and say your goals out loud).
Great list to work with thx. printed out! allready could leave some out (checked) so now making progress for the next 😉
I start 2017 with an body detox to get all the energy I need for all the new initiatives I will undertake!
100. Learn to play piano! – was on my list for 2016, started implementing yesterday! YES!
Pay back debts.
Make a schedule about what I spend every month on what.
Think about my business budgets. Be conscious about where I spend my money for.
Save some money for intellectual investments: new books, interesting courses, etc.
Reread my personal comments on interesting conversations I’ve had.
I am going to focus
Finish my book
Waste no more time
Finish my book
Start blogging
Doing my first webinar
I already did a bunch of your tips to start the year great 🙂 1. had an unwanted detox, by sickness, and be grateful for the detox. Made a quick decision yesterday and reacted immediately on it, regarding my Energy Reboost Weekend planned in march 2017. Going on a journey next week, to Verona Dr Joe Dispenza Workshop.Did shop today for some new wardrobe, took a new haircut 🙂 wrote letters to family. To do and in the planning: party/ dinner with friends, walk without destination, writing further on the book ” Je weet Zelf’ , preparing a challenge and starting with webinars 🙂 …..step for step on my way 🙂 have a great 2017
Going to do my first webinar. Installed my office in the attic (instead of working in my living room with a laptop) and love my new work space, cleaned my house completely, threw and gave away a lot stuff I kept but never used, so clean house, clean mind, started a mastermind group, will outsource some work, started living healthier, will develop new morning ritual, take more courses to keep on learning, develop online educational game (already in progress), find publisher for educational offline game, focus on my workshops for adults, start online training program. Need still to set exact goals in a some areas…..but 2017 is already ROCKING for me :).
I already started at the end of last year to begin each new day with morning yoga and meditation. Now I add to it to eat my breakfast without distraction = just concentrate on my food and enjoy it. Another (for me huge) challenge is to pay more attention to my dear friends by keeping in contact regularly. This is still a difficult item as I’m recovering from the effects of loneliness which caused a huge distance to other people. Now I trust that I can do it – and I will! It’s time to connect! How else will I be able to help others to overcome it, too? 🙂
focus on the problem
finish first what’s only half done
Getting my basics right, that’s where my focus is right now.
Mission, why, target audience…
And from there building my perfect life, every day, bit by bit…
Have been too busy with other things, now putting focus back.
Thank you for the great list, and a great year for everyone here – may all your dreams come true!
Getting on with eating less calories, spend less time on Facebook and wasting time, start blogging (again…), and print out this list to make my accomplishments visible!
Thanks for the inspiration, Nisandeh! The moment I read these 100 ways, I already felt doing it. So focus is the best thing for 2017. Start and bring it to an end most important.
Do not work from my home office anymore. I found a lovely office, sharing the building with a group of business entrepreneurs.
I’ll finish my book before the summer.
Blog every other week.
Put at least 3 white papers on my site.
Make a schedule about what time spend every month on what and what the value adding is of that.
Talk about my goals and directions with a least one person every other week.
The list is very inspiring! So I will find myself a mentor and walk for an hour two times a week. Thanks!
Thanks for your words of wisdom. I will make all of my wishes come true this year.
I don’t like to do things small anymore.
At the end of the year my nailsalon will be booming and I will have a online Academy!
Enough to make me very enthusiastic and full of energy!
I want to create a new website with many blogs.
Blogging is not my favorite thing to do. So it’s a challenge for me to increase my mailing-list.
Thanks for the great tips!
I began this new year with a five week retreat in Costa Rica. It has already brought me so much clarity and inspiration that will sure last for the whole coming year haha.
I will continue my journey on personal development with Tony Robbins and get my business started. I am now working on my first video project for a documentary.
If you’re interested you check out my website davezuijderwijk.com
It will be operational within the coming weeks.
To everybody: have a wonderfull exceptional 2017
With much love from me, Dave
“plant a carrot
Plant carrots
Plant lost of carrots
Anyway”
Synchronicity; there is more to find, I started looking inside and connecting with something that is bigger than me.
We have to create it on EARTH ourselves and now.
1 look inside
2 look back
3 look forward
The lower self needs to be satisfied first for the higher self to be able to create peace to complete a message of peace into the world; which makes a difference “create paradise on Earth” make a gesture.
Also Lev Vygotskij gave a whole society a kick- start early 1900-2000 today stil actual stuff.
Know your OWN culture first
When you don’ t know your OWN culture first you miss knowing other cultures…..
So create whatever you can to this.
Thanks for learning every day so many new things….
Ashirda

I started cleaning my workroom!
I made a dreamboard
I started eating healthy food, stopped with sugar and coffee
I started walking every day
I am more focused!

Thank you for sharing. Focus, delegate and execute are the most important for me.
Great list. Thanks. My bullet points: focus, act now, create a passive income, read more books, more sports & walks in nature.
Spending more quality time with family and friends
I will combine 2:-)
Take a break to make a clear transition from the last year (not a very good one) to the new year (will be the best ever!) and celebrate!
Thank you for this Nisandeh. I’ve promised myself I’ll consistently do the following: (1) Everytime I look in the mirror I will tell myself that I am pretty, and worth it. I need to start believing this. (2) I will take each and every crappy experience on my path and find a way to let it inspire me, either with a lesson learnt, or a fresh perspective or idea. (3) I am going to teach as many people as I can to love themselves through my yoga teaching (4) I’m going to become financially free this year and live a life of abundance, love and personal growth. Cheers to he success of everyone who is part of your Open Circles Tribe xxx
I actually started doing a couple of things from the list above, I didn’t want to wait until l 2017 😛 But for now i want to bring more structure back into my life, the last week I did terrible. Also bringing back my yoga and back exercises because I know I feel so much better if I do them everyday.
I’m going to slack less, less facebook and other social media just waisting my time. I’m going to read more and just do more of all the things I love and that I think is important. Investing more time in me and my business.
Great list! Very inspiring! 🙂
I would like to kick start a new business and generate passive income in 2017!
I will make a collection of artwork of my favorite singer.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just
sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to
everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog
writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Thank you for your question!
I would take a look at the blog post Always Check the Cables and the free resource to help you get clients read your blogs.
Also, if you are blogging to get more clients, take a look at the Business Blogging Masterclass. You will love it.
