Is there anything you want to achieve in 2023? Of course there is!! What about 2024 and 2025? I’m sure there is.
Get your mind thinking about the exciting and mundane goals you have imagined for your life in the many months ahead.
As the wonderful outcomes breeze through your mind, start writing these down. Capture your thoughts on paper to better reflect on over the coming days and make planning and tracking easier too.
Start today!
Sometimes you have to press hard to get things done. That may mean days or weeks of 20 hour days. But there are times you have so much on and a short timeframe to deal with it all. You just have to press on and do it!
Keep hydrated, power nap if you can and stay positive. This too shall pass. Fun will come again. There is a time for all things.
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.
Get moving quickly on things. Don’t dawdle. Move with intent to achieve, accomplish and complete. Then you can rest. No need to rest in advance or during. Try it. I think you’ll like the results.
If you don’t want to see it through to the end, don’t bother starting it. Think this through at the start of a project or situation rather then feel compelled to finish something you have no interest in.
There is always time to score or improve, right up to the final whistle. This is true in games, sports, exams and life. Don’t slack off or think you’re beat. Play harder for the victory.
Don’t coast either. Victory can be snatched from you if you’re not paying attention.
This one habit will help you achieve a lot more than you can imagine. If you are trying to make progress hourly, then track this on an hourly basis. When you are trying to make weekly progress, track weekly.
Decide on your specific metrics, write them down and then write down each tracking data point. Yes, it’s easy to do in your head. But it’s not nearly as effective.
If you are serious about winning and achieving, write down your precise metrics and time intervals. Then track the metrics precisely and consistently. Writing it down may seem like a bother, but it is this little tiny sacrifice in your day that will make all the difference.
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?
Starting can be hard. But if you start something, be committed to completing it too. Like buying something on credit, you have to eventually pay the price. If you do a job, follow up until it is finished correctly.
Yes, it can be mundane doing admin, invoicing, paperwork, forms etc but they need to get done. So do them.
Follow up in sales is often how you win the deal. People remember great follow up. They remember poor performance and neglect too.
Decide that this is a “Heck Yes!” item and then set about doing it. Do that as much as you can in one day. Don’t wait until you feel like it. And don’t wait for someone else to come do it for you or help.
Focus on it. Get it started. Work hard at it. Learn. Do. Be uncomfortable and get through it. Finish the job. Sure you can have someone look over it at the end. But sort it out and get to the end on your own first. It can feel daunting or hard but you’ll feel so much better about yourself once you’ve done it.
