Clarifying Your Year-End Focus – What’s It Going To Be? And Why?
Simon Sinek: What the Military Teaches About the Importance of Planning – 2 minutes, 15 seconds
To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:
“If we met on New Year’s Eve 2020 and looked back,
what would’ve happened for you to be happy with your progress?” Before the end of 2020, what must you achieve with excellence –
or nothing else you achieve will really make a big difference?
What’s your strategy for creating your strategy? Can you think locally & act personally?
Consider the proverbial pebble in a calm pond – what will cause the best rippling effect?
Or the domino effect – which one do I need to knock over that impacts everything else?
What is most important to you right now, personally? Professionally?
What is your most compelling “yes”, that you want to get done, no matter what?
What other objectives may need to be moved to a “not-to-do” list, until further notice?
What’s your big deal now? Why will you be doing it? From a Friedrich Nietzsche quote:
“If you know the why, you can live any how.”
ASAP, write down 7-10 compelling and energizing reasons why you are taking this on
Now’s the time to ensure that a smattering of “good” doesn’t stop you from your “Great”.
Along your way, take great care of your work, life and laugh balance
We encourage you to do what you love & love what you do, as best as possible, for joy.
What can you do to make everything more fun and fascinating, for yourself and others?
What can you do that might bring you a few laughs? How are you humoring yourself?
Let’s be clear – we all have seemingly endless challenges for which to be fully stressed.
I am not suggesting we be self-deluded, in denial or in a cocoon. Let’s get perspective.
Explore multiple sources of resources. Create your unstoppable networks of support. Do whatever you must to light a fire under yourself and stay fully alive!!
I imagine that most of us have heard this quote before:
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sooooo, for the balance of 2020, what is “Your Most Important Goal”?
Let’s consider the attitude of what this 77 year old ‘rapper’ said in 2012?
