An Amazing 2023! ?

Posted on December 28, 2022

What would an amazing 2023 look like for you? Would you get a raise, change jobs, land a key account or retire? How good would your relationships be? How would you know or measure that? Which skill or habit would you acquire or improve?

What about your health and fitness? Will this be the priority it should be? What does the best you actually look like? Where will you be on the wealth scale? Could you be a little wealthier at the end of the 12 months? How much wealthier could you be?

And what one thing are you going to do just for you?

I hope you wrote all this down. You’ll need to refer back to it all every week, at least.

This is how you have an amazing 2023 – you design it. Then execute.

Optimism

Posted on December 13, 2022

Hope is a powerful mindset. To be hopeful and optimistic can carry you a long way in life, sometimes much further than possible without it. Remember this well. Your optimism is your superpower. Guard it with your life.

Push Yourself Harder

Posted on December 1, 2022

You know when you’re coasting, drifting, or giving it your all. And unless you’re very disciplined, you probably only give 40% each day. It might be more if you have a coach and are serious about success. That might get you to 80%-90%.

You have to want that last 10%. You have to push yourself beyond your own limiting beliefs. You can do it. But will you?

The Fans In The Stands

Posted on August 28, 2022

They don’t determine the outcomes. They might influence it though, if you let them. But they can’t physically change the outcome of your actions.

Just like friends and family, and even your harshest critics, they can say what they want but don’t let them get in your head.

Now if they have positive or sensible points to bring to your attention, you may want to consider them and even adopt them. And sensible does not mean that you like the points made either. They may be painfully accurate and annoyingly prescient and so possibly more valuable than a high five. So reflect on those and use them when possible.

Just don’t let the fans, or critics, in the stands affect your game plan. You have to live a long time with the results, not them.

Must, Should, Want

Posted on August 18, 2022

Life’s to do list tends to have these three categories, whether you bunch them that way or not.

Things you must do would be things like eating, drinking water and sleeping. Arguably going to work, organising your day and paying bills are must do items too. However, they really are should do items. If you don’t do them, you won’t die from them.

Other less controversial should do’s would be calling a family member, especially a parent, maintaining great health and fitness and also keeping your house looking and working well.

But regardless of all of those items above, you may want to book a holiday, buy some clothes or eat pizza and chips while watching the latest movie in your pjs.

Should’s are often a bit troubling. You may feel guilty if you do not do them. Or the direct, or even indirect, consequences could be quite severe.

All the wants may seem unavailable but super desirable. However, these need to be tempered and prioritised as they are unlikely to all be done.

So make sure you get the big ones in your life.

Who Decided To Call Green Green?

Posted on March 19, 2022

Who created the word? Does someone get credit for it? Why did they call it ‘green’ and not ‘purple’, ‘cinade’ or ‘basketball?’

Why did someone choose these 26 letters? Or earlier letters than these? The creation and selection of these letters, words, sounds and phrases seems so strange.

They seem rather random. But also completely normal now that I am so used to them. They are the code and key to everything.

Pay attention to the words you use. They mean far more than you think.

The End Game

Posted on February 12, 2022

You really should have an end game in mind, and written down, when you take aim at a new goal, challenge or desired achievement. I don’t say this lightly. These elements build on key themes that run through three of the seven steps in my new book Achieve Anything.

Step 1 is Think, which includes beginning with the end in your mind. It also includes the rhetorical question, ’Why?’ Why are you putting energy and time into this process to reach the outcome?

Step 3 is Write. You need to take the thoughts and turn them into written words that you, or anyone, can refer back to.

Step 4 is Plan. You really should collect those written thoughts and turn them into a structured plan with dates, times, desired outcomes and the finish line.

Notice we skipped Step 2? Lots of people do. That is a big reason why many people do not achieve their goal. More on that in the book.
