Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!
Press on till you reach your goal.
Stay away from distractions. Your plan needs your time. Keep your focus tight. You’ll be glad you did when you win.
So much of life is preparing. You prepare meals, your workday, a speech, for school, for life, for a holiday, for death.
Life is a series of events that you prepare for and then experience. Sometimes the preparation is minimal and other times it is extensive. You’re best to prepare a little more though as it usually means a better result for the event.
Have one or two of these a day and notice the momentum shift in your favour in the next week.
Build this up to 10 or 20 per day and your life will be unrecognisable in a month.
If you have any goals (and you should have several!), you must remember to review and track your progress against your ambitious timeline.
If you don’t review and track, and keep to a tight and specific timeline, you greatly decrease your chances of success. If you’re honest with yourself, you know this is true.
People won’t review and track because they get lazy, or scared they aren’t making progress, or they think they’re doing great, so why bother.
There steps are a critical element in achieving anything you want in life.
If you want a deeper dive on review and tracking, or goal getting in general, it’s all simply laid out in my bestselling book, Achieve Anything (on Amazon, Audible, and other online book retailers around the globe). https://scottsbook.com/
What exactly do you intend to do during the next 10 years? Build a business? Will revenue reach £1m or £3 billion?
Where will you travel? Who will you spend your time with?
Make your heart race. Feel alive!
Turn the page and don’t look back. Go after your dream. Move on to the next chapter.
Whether it is a baseball game, person, an item or time, take the time to mourn your loss properly. There are 5 stages of grief and some extend that to 7.
Look those up and allow yourself to go through them. If you skip steps or the process, it will stay with you and be damaging in other ways.
Losing and loss can be incredibly difficult. It all depends on your attachment to that which was lost and a new vision of life that you can imagine.
Remember the good. Often.
Do one thing each day toward your goal. In three days it won’t feel or look like much but in 30 days you will feel momentum and have a trend going.
In just 90 days you can have made a huge difference in your life or project.
Value the small and consistent wins. Take actions, large and small, towards your clearly written goal.
Have faith. Keep hope in your soul. Maintain a willingness to continue. Stay disciplined. Be resilient. Then you will see, and benefit from, how progress compounds.
