“The one lesson I have learned is there is no substitute for paying attention.” Diane Sawyer
I coach the most amazing people. They are smart, successful, fun and contribute value to their community and beyond. And, they have dreams and aspirations that they are ready to achieve.
The results they consistently create blow me away. I am wowed time and time again by the power of their clarity, focus and commitment to create what they desire in their life and business.
I have learned A LOT from them – it would be selfish to keep this amazing wisdom all to myself. Today you have the opportunity to read the first five of ten tips – look for part 2 in the January 22nd newsletter.
Read on and learn from the movers and shakers of our times…
- Having fun is an important skill you can learn to create success – Fun looks different for everyone. For some, fun comes in learning new things, for others it shows up in creating systems so day to day tasks become a no-brainer. * was thrilled when she learned how to make finances, including invoicing more fun by having it scheduled each month and using a timer to complete this once overwhelming task.
- The best way to take risks begins with baby steps – It can be daunting to create something new in life. When R. wanted to change careers after many successful years at his job, he “tried on” a few experiences he had pondered for many years. When he moved from just thinking about change to actually doing something a little as a time, he was able to take things off of the list or keep them there from experience.
- Clarity = Confidence – Living in the land of “I Don’t Know What to Do Next” is exhausting. L., who recently retired and is living in a new city, was not flourishing. Watching her gain clarity on what was fulfilling to her, and then weaving these activities into her life inspired me. Her clarity around her passions and purpose gave her the courage to try new things and create a flourishing life.
- Plan, Do, Study, Act – Most of us like to experience instant gratification. Yet, as an entrepreneur, S. learned that to create sustainable success you have to plan, execute your strategy, look at it and decide from there if it truly was the best thing to do for the business. Watching her try a little of this and a little of that and integrating what gave her positive and profitable results reminded me that building a business can be like fine wine, it needs some time to become its best.
- You can integrate the change you desire, with a plan and patience – J. has been an organizer for many years. She was looking for ways to streamline her services so she could work smarter and not harder. Witnessing her gaining clarity on what’s next and allowing the process to unfold reminded me that Rome was not built in a day – change takes time and J reminded me how to enjoy the process of creating that in her life.
Lessons are best learned when we practice them and share them with others. I would love to hear which of these lessons you resonate with and how you ‘ll make the change you desire for increased success and fulfillment in the New Year. Leave comments here on the blog. I look forward to learning from you in this New Year!
