Warning: I’m going to be blunt today! Leave now and come back tomorrow if you’d like when I will return to a kinder gentler Uncle Paul 🙂
It’s unfortunate, but there are two very common train wrecks that occur this time of year.
The first happens when people set goals that were never properly thought out because they got caught up in some New Year’s Rah Rah BS.
They never really thought out, with complete clarity what they want (I’m not going to use that overused S.M.A.R.T. acronym here so relax)
They never really thought out where they want to be and even how the heck they’re supposed to know if they hit this magical place.
More often than not, they get caught up in some obligatory year end exercise without fully thinking out . . .
The “How” as in “How will I do this” And let me be clear. Not some generic, I’ll work harder, eat less, sell more fantasy . . . I’m talking about specifics and “What will I do DAILY to make this my new reality?”
The “Why” as in “Why is this so important to me?”
The “Who” as in “Who do I need to align myself with to make this goal a reality?” or for the more daring . . .
“Who do I need to become to pull this off?”
The “What” as in “What new habits do I need to install?” “What emotions, habits, BS, people etc do I need to evict from my life?
I could go on and on . . . but I sense you’re with me.
The other train wreck occurs when we continue doing the same things, over and over expecting to get different results.
Take it from someone who knows (through his own failures) . . .
That seat of the pants crap isn’t sustainable!
On Tuesday January 10th at 1:30 EST I’ll be hosting a very different type of goal setting webinar “Playbook For A Successful Year”. During our time together, we’ll focus on
Creating a better vision of where you need to navigate your life!
Creating a plan that moves the vision to reality!
Understanding the things that can (and absolutely will) get in your way! Note: Most goal setting content doesn’t address this. We’re going to cannonball into this pool gang!
Forgive me if my tone is rather harsh today, but there is nothing worse than waking up every morning knowing that there is more and our only defense seems to be mentally changing the subject.
I’ve written this many times on this blog, so one more time won’t hurt . . .
A bad day, doesn’t happen at 4:55!
A bad week doesn’t happen on Friday!
A bad month doesn’t happen on the 30th!
A bad year doesn’t happen on New Year’s Eve!
A bad career doesn’t happen on your retirement!
A bad life doesn’t happen on your death bed!
All of that brings us back to this moment, right now and what we choose to do with it!
Here’s the info on that webinar http://www.instantpresenter.com/PIID=EA52DD82834F
