PLAN FOR SUCCESS

When it comes working on our focus or our success or whatever we must work on to succeed, there is one thing that must be done: PLAN.

Planning is a CRITICAL component to SUCCESS.

As the ever popular and TRUTHFUL old adage goes, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

Thus, when you plan to succeed, you succeed.

However, when creating that plan there is one thing to remember: Adjust for all things including DISTRACTIONS. While all plans cannot be all encompassing, there is no reason to exclude distractions and how you plan to deal with them, when they arrive.

When it comes to distractions it is NOT a matter of if you will be distracted but when!

Get to work.

FOCUS

August 2 – FOCUS

As recent athletic competition has shown, when a team or its “leaders” lose FOCUS or tries to shift focus away from what is important, at that moment. In this case, what was important is winning a game. The team that was shifting focus or multitasking comes up short because at most that anyone that is multitasking or shifting focus can give to any particular item or task is 80% of the attention.

While the other team or competition is solely focusing on the task at hand and paying no attention to the non-game related content until after the event is CHOOSING to give 100%

100% versus 80% tell me who wins?

That’s right the team or group giving 100%.

Pay attention, Give 100%, Stay Focused!

THANK YOURSELF

July 30 – DON’T FORGET TO THANK YOURSELF

Part of the process of forgiving yourself you also have to learn and grow into thanking yourself.

We have all been through a lot and no matter what it is, we have all come out on the other side. Wiser or not, the point is that here we still stand. Here you stand. Now is the time to thank yourself for what you have done, what you are doing and growing above and beyond any of your wildest expectations.

Use that as a motivation to keep moving forward, to keep growing.
