Try Different Angles

Posted on January 24, 2023

When you want something, try different angles to make it work out. There might only be one way to do something but that is rarely the case. You may have to use your imagination and get creative in what you do.

For example, if you want to meet someone in an office setting and you can’t reach them on their direct line, try calling the receptionist. Or call their secretary. Alternatively you could trying calling their unit head, office manager, colleague or even CEO.

If calling isn’t working, try sending an email, a letter in the post, use LinkedIn or other social media accounts, or go to their office. There are many ways to make things happen. Sometimes you need to try several different options before you find success. If you keep trying different avenues, options, timing and tones, you greatly increase your probability of success.

So be sure to try different angles.

Seeking Perfection Is Detrimental

Posted on January 20, 2023

If only perfect people can be heroes and have statues built for them, we will have neither. The current push by some for perfect equality, perfect communication and perfect decisions is likely to destroy the humanity in society.

If people get cancelled, excommunicated, destroyed, and expelled for imperfect thoughts, actions and impulses, people will shrink into the shadows and take fewer chances with anything.

Play this out till the ultimate conclusion and there will only be a handful of hypocrites remaining as they wouldn’t dare cancel themselves. If you don’t see the game evolve several moves ahead, you will likely find that checkmate is in your future.

Sometimes It All Goes Out The Window

Posted on January 16, 2023

Ever been busy? That super, crazy, ridiculous busy? The kind of busy where you get 3-4 hours sleep a night for days and even weeks on end.

Your comms go silent. Things don’t happen. Except, the essentials happen. You focus like a laser and cut through the unnecessary. You cut it out because you have no time for anything except the essentials.

You go dark for awhile. But eventually you emerge from the chaos and begin again. Enjoy it.

Could You Do More In Your Day?

Posted on January 14, 2023

I bet you could. Stop scrolling, watching tv or chatting about whatever. Pick a topic, learn about it and then start to create a business with it. You’re not creating IBM overnight. But you will build a small company, learn a lot and maybe even build a bigger company eventually.

Do more of the things that get you closer to your goals and do less faffing around. You will love your progress.

Get Clear

Posted on January 5, 2023

Be decisive. Cut out the distractions. Focus on what you really want. Don’t just nurture things because they are in front of you. Go after your scary dreams. Be ready to fail. Get clear. Go!

Replace Dream Drags

Posted on January 4, 2023

You’re pumped for the new you!! But you don’t have enough time in your day to fit in these new activities, habits, and skills. That’s ok.

You simply need to say goodbye to some “old you” drags on your time. Maybe that tv show you no longer really watch: that could save 50 minutes. Or the 1 hour in the gym could be reduced to 30 minutes, every time, or at least 3x a week.

Design your days such that you stop doing things the new you would not do and start doing things that a pro in your field would be doing without question. Figure it out. Now go!!

Plan v Wish List v Idea

Posted on January 3, 2023

So you think you have a plan for 2023. What you probably have is a wish list, or simply an idea.

An idea has no emotion and little, if any, detail. It’s more of a statement. Lose 42 pounds. Get a new job. Land people on Mars.

You can then personalise it and add some emotion like excitement, concern, giddiness, fear or trepidation. As the idea moves from an abstract thought to something that may be part of your future, you begin to internalise it and different emotions will start to bubble up to the surface. For example, I would like to lose 42 pounds, get a new job and be part of the team that lands people on Mars.

To improve your chances of success though, you are best to write these ideas down. Make them personal with “I am” type statements and then add some clear, detailed steps and milestones that you’ll need to go through to reach your desired goal.

Making a plan requires more commitment and detail. It takes a bit of time to make. If you don’t have the will to commit to making the plan, it’s unlikely you’ll have the will to overcome the challenges that you’ll find on the path you have chosen to take.

If you do commit, you’ll need dates and times that you’ll actively progress your plan. You can add milestones too. You’ll also need a system to review your progress, including daily tracking of key activities and metrics. Without tracking against a plan, you are likely to drift and then give up.

But that needn’t be your story. Be the top 5% of people. Use your discipline. Feel how good it will be to have reached your goal. Hold that thought.

Now go turn your 2023 ideas into wishes and then make a plan around the most important ones.

Tag me in so we can celebrate together!!!

Day 1: Discipline

Posted on January 1, 2023

Start your year with discipline. Do the things you need to do regardless of motivation. Even if you don’t want to do something, do it anyway. That is what we call discipline. It’s hard at first, but it will get you the results.

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.
