Your Friendly Reminder

Pinterest? Check.

Facebook? Check.

Email? Check.

Twitter? Check.

YouTube? Check.

Fantasy Football? Check.

Pre-Ordered the iPhone 5? Check.

The Voice? Check.

Did the ball move forward? Yes or no?

The question we must pose to our yesterday’s is did they get me closer to where I want to be 5 years from now?

Your joy 5 years from today hinges on what did or did not happen yesterday.

Don’t allow the small noise of today to steal from your future music.

This is not a promo to stray from the social media experience, not have fun, or not find time to relax. It’s just your friendly reminder that September 18, 2017 should not be a surprise when it gets here.

Being vs Doing

I finished a book yesterday called Love Works by Joel Manby.

Joel ends the book encouraging us to focus more on our BE goals instead of our DO goals.

I had never heard it put this way and thought it would serve well for a Monday post.

Answering the questions of who am I, what’s my purpose, and where am I headed will get you to doing what you always wanted to do.

You’ve got to BE before you can DO and you’ve got to DO before you can HAVE.

It’s easy to have a product or service. On the other hand, its a reward to have a product or service that stands for something.

Pick Your Side

On this side of fear it tells you:

  • It’s going to be complicated.
  • It’s not worth it.
  • It didn’t work last time.

On this side of fear it asks:

  • Who cares?
  • Are you serious?
  • What will people say?

On the other side of fear you see:

  • The award.
  • The joy in the complication.
  • 99 fails = 1 success.

On the other side of fear people say:

  • We care.
  • He/she was serious.
  • Wow.

Pick your side.

What’s Your Sport?

What’s your sport?

Sales? Web-design? Marketing? The culinary arts? Book writing? Song writing? Leadership?

Take a minute to step back and look at your career or areas of life where you want success and think of them in terms of being a sport.

If you look at those around you who are having success, and you allow yourself to see them as athletes, it’s easy to see why they’re winning.

Dream. Train. Prepare. Execute. Measure. Repeat.

Small Is the Route To The Big Kahuna

We’ve all got that dream, right? Let’s call him the Big Kahuna.

But in lieu of stressing over the big steps to get you to him what small steps can you take today?

Aim small, miss small, win big.
