Go Getters with Nicke Abraham

Nicke Abraham is a live wire. She has so much to offer, with boundless energy, and she is not shy to share her knowledge with others. She is the founder of The Winning Attitude Skills Training, a platform where her love and dedication to empowering individuals and businesses is not only evident, but honestly so catchy.

She runs these amazing weekly Go-Getters Sessions – they are 30 Power Online Minutes where she creates a safe and beautiful space for members to share ideas, stay accountable, ask questions, and support one another. Most of all, it is about making the entrepreneurial journey feel lighter, more connected, and a whole lot more achievable.

It is a known fact that I love networking and networking events, and Nicke and I first met at one of these great events. We also both won each other’s prizes, so I get to experience Go-Getters first-hand, and she gets a guest blog post.  Win-Win!

We came up with the idea to use her blog post about the January Go-Getters sessions, where she’s encouraged us to focus on clarity. So, here is a look into Go-Getters, as well as the incredibly valuable reminder that clarity really is key to success.

Clarity Starts with Quiet Time

Quiet time matters because clarity does not come from rushing or reacting. It comes from creating space to think. We were asked a question that stopped me in my tracks:  What must be true by December 2026 for you to say this year was a success? And then we were asked to choose a word or feeling that would describe how that success would feel.

I loved this. To already anticipate the feeling of happiness, positivity, and success in January, for what it could feel like in December, was uplifting and empowering.

That exercise made me realise that success, without a clear definition, is really just busy work – and I had enough of that last year.

With clarity, decisions are easier, boundaries are stronger, and focus is sharper. This has reminded me that progress beats perfection every time. Done really is better than perfect, and yes, this truth bomb is still my favourite.

From Thinking into Doing

The second week shifted us from thinking into doing. Choose a goal, block time for it, and then just start. Not when it is perfect, not when everything is lined up. Just start.

And there is a lot to be said for this “just starting” concept. How many of us never actually achieve things on our wish list because we are waiting for the perfect moment? The way I see it, there is no such thing as the perfect moment. Honestly, we really just have to start.

Something else that landed hard for me was: Do what you do best, and delegate the rest. It’s so important to acknowledge that growth does not come from doing everything yourself. It comes from doing the right things consistently.

Nicke is teaching us to look at goals through three lenses viz. why, what, and outcome. That simple framework is the key to creating focus and when we have focus:

Focus builds momentum.
Momentum builds confidence.
Confidence produces results.

The Question That Pushes the Buttons

At this point, I thought I was doing well. I had started the year with such clear focus and intention anyway, that I thought I was rocking this Go-Getters journey, until today’s question:

What are you postponing that would give you immediate clarity? What habit, task, client, or behaviour feels heavy or misaligned?  I had done this work during the festive break, but this still pushed some buttons.  These are not questions to rush past. They are powerful invitations to clarity and clarity often sits on the other side of a decision.

Confirmation, Not Reinvention

January did not hand me brand-new ideas. I am still doing exactly the same type of work I was doing last year. But this beautiful first month of January has given me confirmation.

Being intentional was the right move. A strategy. A reminder that foundations matter more than frantic effort.

And most importantly, that clarity, once you commit to it, makes everything else feel lighter. Yes, it requires commitment and I have had to trust the process of time-blocking, of honouring my rest time (you know – heart disease and all that). But somehow, with this very intentional use of my time, I am getting more done and still have more time for myself. Go figure.

Progress over perfection, always.
