It’s easier not to prepare. It’s even kind of fun to fly by the seat of your pants. But no serious person would let a ‘we’ll figure it out’-type mindset build a bridge or a skyscraper without written architectural drawings.
If your business, or your life, is as valuable, then you best get some grand ideas backed by precise construction plans so you can construct something equally stunning and memorable.
Review where you are and how you may have gotten there. Assess your relationships and finances, health and mindset.
Think of where you want to be and make a weekly plan to get there. Review your progress and position each week.
Review and adjust frequently. It will change your life.
Find out what you don’t know. There are trillions of pieces of information out there and it’s unlikely you know all of them. So have an open mind, be curious and ask simple questions. Then listen carefully to the answers.
Set a timer. Stop scrolling when it goes off. Get back to what you were supposed to be doing.
Wallow in your misery for a few minutes. Throw a full on pity party if you like. But train yourself to have five minutes being down and then get over it.
Take 10 minutes if it’s really tough. But then get on with living life. It won’t last forever, so the quicker you get back on the horse, the more time you’ll have for this fun, wild ride.
Spoiler alert‼️ Life ends.
For some people it’s quietly, alone in their sleep. For other people it may be more sudden, severe or unexpected.
However it happens, and whenever the buzzer goes, it is usually preceded by a fight for survival. We have an inborn desire to survive. And yes, we will automatically go into fight, flight or freeze mode, but if there is time, many of us will choose fight in order to survive.
While fighting will be in our own way, we will fight for time with our loved ones and to see another day.
The power of one more day can be immense.

Supposedly, the Devil is in the details. So if you don’t pay close attention to the details, you could be misled. deceived or fooled.
Push your limits. Squeeze the juice out. Make things happen.
Streamline your days as much as you can. Have a time to get up and one time to go to bed. It doesn’t have to be 365 days per year but 6 -7 days a week on average.
Get a routine for waking up too. Alarm rings, sit up with your feet on the floor. Go to the gym or go have a shower. Then dress, eat and get on with the day you had planned the night before.
The fewer decisions you have to make each day, the better. You’ll have more energy. You’ll feel like you are achieving things. It’s simple. Go do it.
