Go for a walk or jog and run through the plan you want in your head. Think through the timing and the priorities, including the timeline. Plan out each step in your mind. By doing this preview, you will uncover obstacles you hadn’t thought of and allow enough time for each step.
Then you can execute with pace and precision. See the goal and the path first, then follow it.
This is not easy. It is simple but not easy. You need to refine your goals and get very clear about what you are aiming for. Then you need a clear timeline and plan to achieve them. The more precision you add now, the higher the probability of hitting your targets!

It’s back to school and back to work. You have only 3 months to get everything done before Christmas, (school) holidays and New Year brings down the curtain on this 2023rd year.
It’s now a manic sprint to achieve those goals by year end!! 12 weeks!! Let’s Go!!!
When plans aren’t firm or known, they’re up in the air. This can sometimes be stressful but other times it can be very liberating or opportunistic. Which do you tend to prefer?
Have elements of your life gotten away from you? Well now that you are aware, what are you going to do about it? You can get the old you back or create a new you. Just don’t let life pass you by while you decide what to do.
Survivors and especially more successful people may be more forgiving than others. Since they made it through life, they may let their kids take even greater chances. They may be less strict, more lenient, forgiving or even lax. That could be a good thing. But without some decent discipline, you’re setting them up to fail.
You prep to pitch so you can win the right to host the Olympics. Then if you win the right to host, you prep for 8 years so you can do a great job. There is a lot of prep to host a few weeks of sporting competitions. And then it is all gone but for the memories. So much of life is the same process: idea, pre-prep, prep, brief event and memories. From a holiday, to a job, education or a marriage, a similar pattern plays out.
Find something quickly, right now, that you can be good at. Then aim to be the best that you can possibly be at that thing. Learn how to study it. Get disciplined at doing excessive training and practice. Propel yourself to new heights. You may not be the best in the world, but you’ll be the best you can be. That’s all we ask.
Getting a deal over the line can be quite exhilarating! The cut and thrust of commerce. Timetables trashed, expectations dashed and a resurrection in the final minutes. The heart is racing and the blood is pumping. All hands on deck to get it over the line!
Pick a year or an age you’ll be and figure out what you would like your life to look like at that time. You’ll be three years happily married or worth £680,000 or fit like my favourite celebrity. Use this powerful visualisation tool today because one day you’ll run out of ‘by thens’.
