Do you feel it; the tug on you right now even while you’re reading or listening to this? You need to get back to your “Real Work.” You’re busy.
You have lists to keep your priorities straight, maybe lists within lists.
THE CHALLENGE is your competing priorities, between what needs to get done to keep the doors open AND what YOU KNOW needs to happen to move you forward. As these priorities all get jumbled together, it is impossible to know where you stand.
Your response to all of this? Hustle harder; work harder, put in another hour.
“92% of all people who set goals never reach them.” – American Psychological Association
THIS JUMBLE is what we’ll call the whirlwind. And unknowingly you are trying to get things done without knowing the rules of the game.
IF you’re willing, together, we will learn to reach your goals AND deal with the whirlwind.
The 1 thing you MUST DO or you WILL FAIL?
Get clear about your destination. What does your GOAL ‘look’ like? Where do YOU want to be… at the end of the year, end of the month, end of your career, end of TODAY?
ACTIONABLE ITEM: Pick a timeframe (use tomorrow); and in a SHORT clear concise statement; write down on a sticky note what YOU want the end of that timeframe to be/look like, what is the ONE THING you want to do/reach/complete by the end of that timeframe.
Example (real world, this is my ONE goal for today): (by the end of the day today) complete and publish blog post AND short-form video on the whirlwind.
