A new year means a new group of people are going to capitalize in 2018 by taking their life to a whole different level of success and happiness

Do you know who is going to come out on top in this new year? If you did, it’d be smart to join these groups so you can also have an amazing year.

Here’s where it pays off to read this blog: I’m going to tell you who is going to win before it ever happens. Then it’s up to you to join these groups so you can win big in 2018.

I’m not calling it a guarantee but I’m very confident in each one of these picks. Let’s start with number 1.

The 5 Biggest Winners Of 2018

1. Business owners and entrepreneurs

Honestly, I think business owners are always going to be a big winner of just about every year given all the benefits of running your own operation.

We get to build a business, make progress, challenge ourselves, compete in the toughest arena of global business, take off whenever we want, travel if we desire, receive tax advantages, etc. Read this if you want to learn more specific reasons to become an entrepreneur.

There’s just so much good when you own your own business, and all the bad doesn’t stack up.

Call me biased for this one making the list, but I wasn’t a business owner before and still felt this way so I became one.

What’s stopping you from owning your own thing, even if it’s smaller and you’re a solopreneur or freelancer? That still carries many of the same benefits so go do it already if you want to crush it this year.

2. Video creators

Blogs and podcasts are cool in all, but the vlog is where it’s at!

As I’ve said countless times, the best way to get to know someone is through seeing them, hearing their voice, and listening to what they say, aka what video does.

Other mediums like voice, images, or text just can’t deliver what video can for content creators and their audiences.

Not to mention all the statistics are lining up pretty for video creators. Take a look at these stats from this blog post on BrianRobben.com:  

• About 92 percent of mobile video watchers will go on to share videos with other people
• Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined
• 95% of a message is retained when watched  compared to 10% when read
• People spend 88% more time on a website with video according to Mist Media
• Video traffic will account for 80% of all Internet traffic in 2019

It’s safe to say that video is the way of the present and the future. Those that keep publishing it are going to dominate in the attention department, and when you win on attention you win on sales and making money.

3. People who go live on social media’s like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram

Video is one thing, but it’s a bonus to go live as you’ll get pushed higher in news feeds like Facebook and Instagram.

When you go live, your followers and friends will get notifications and it’s a nice way to break into new audiences who otherwise wouldn’t have watched your videos.

Here I am saying it’s going to be big but I haven’t done it yet. I plan to do this in 2018 and it’ll be a mistake if I don’t! This also means it will be a mistake for your brand if you don’t.

P.S. The way to win with the ever-changing social platforms is to do what they want to promote the most—live video is up there, if not their number one favorite type of content.

4. Cryptocurrency and stock market investors

Cryptocurrencies had a hell of a year last year as some, like Bitcoin, gained over 1,000% percent from the start to the end of 2017. It looks like they’re not done yet.

A managing director of a cryptocurrency trading firm—Octagon Strategy—Dave Chapman estimates that Bitcoin will go beyond $100,000 before 2018 ends. I also made the same prediction in this video.

Also, many analysts think cryptocurrencies are just in the 1st inning out of 9, so that’s a lot of game to be played and profits to be made if things continue to go up.

I’ll include the stock market in this because the stock market has reached all time highs and look promising in the future.

In the long haul, I believe investors are always going to win given the historical returns of major cryptocurrency coins and the stock market.

5. People who believe in themselves

You absolutely need to have faith in yourself that you can accomplish your new year’s resolutions if you’re actually going to get it done.

With no confidence, you’ll fail first and never have the courage to get back up and try again.

For a winning example, look at Kevin Hart. One of the world’s highest-paid comedians has a huge portrait on a wall in his house. His reasoning is that he needs to be his biggest fan because if he’s not then who else will be?

That’s the motto you need to have to go out there and do big things. It all starts with positive self-talk that you’re the man or woman, you’re enough, and you can get it done.

Positive thinkers will work harder and create more positive outcomes for themselves. Believe that!

2018’s Biggest Winners Wrap Up

If I had to bet, then I’m going with entrepreneurs, video creators, going live on social media, cryptocurrency investors, and people who believe in themselves will make the most out of 2018 and take the cake.

And if you’re not currently in any of those groups, there’s no better time to get started than today.

At the very least, you need to work on believing in yourself because like I said how can you accomplish a single new year’s resolution without that?

Go dominate 2018 will ya!?
