Face Your Fears and Make This a Year of Firsts

The arrival of a New Year brings a familiar ritual: the resolution. We often promise to work harder, eat better, or save more. But what if, this year, we focused on something more transformative? What if we decided to stop playing it safe and started facing the things that actually scare us?

Fear is a master of disguise. It often looks like "being practical" or "waiting for the right timing." But in reality, fear is just the boundary of your comfort zone. Growth doesn’t happen in the familiar; it happens at the edge of the unknown.

This is a picture of me (quite a few years ago) rappelling down a mountain outside of Baguio, Philippines where I started training for Jungle Survival School while in the Air Force. I've had a lot of firsts since then.

I want to challenge you to make this your Year of Firsts.

Think about the experiences you’ve put on the back burner. Maybe it’s the first time you lead a high-stakes meeting, the first time you invest in yourself through high-level coaching, or the first time you travel to a destination that feels like a world away from your daily grind.

At Skoda & Associates, we believe that success isn’t just about the bottom line—it’s about the richness of the journey. Whether you are transitioning into a new career phase or scaling a business, the biggest breakthroughs always come after you say "yes" to something that makes your heart beat a little faster.
