Smart Goals

Today, we will talk about setting SMART goals!

The beginning of the month is a great time to revisit your goals for the year and reevaluate your goals for this next goals.

When you're setting goals, use the acronym SMART.

SPECIFIC

Your brain wants detailed and specific information... not vague information.

MEASURABLE

You need a starting point and a destination. This way, you know where the beginning is and you have a clear end point in mind.

ACHIEVEABLE

Is the goal realistic and within reach. Will it push you and force you to do extra work to get it done.

REAL

Is your goal really your goal... or is it someone else's goal for you?

TIME

Your goal has to have an end date or else you won't work with the right intensity. It helps you set appropriate urgency!

5 Keys To a Life Well Lived

Today we will talk about FIVE keys to live a life well lived!

1.) Feed your mind! Stand guard to the doors of your mind. - Jim Rohn Pay attention to what is coming in your doors... your eyes and your ears because those are what shape your thoughts! Make sure that when you are speaking, you are speaking positive things because what comes out of your mouth also goes into your ears. Focus on things that will FEED your dreams and not starve them. Learning CAN lead to action when you apply it.

2.) Feed and strengthen your body EVERY day! This helps with your longevity as well as with your energy and mental clarity in your daily tasks. It can be as simple as 10 minutes per day of movement. By creating the discipline in this area, it will lend strength to other areas of discipline you are working to install!

3.) Find a role model. We all need a mentor - someone to follow and learn from. Even if you don't have a chance to meet someone - you can still learn from the content they create as books, podcasts, etc.

4.) Take MASSIVE Action. We all have heard that knowledge is power... and though that is true, the application of knowledge is where the REAL power shows up. Taking massive action on the things you have learned is what can create the real results you desire.

5.) Give more than you expect to receive. People who have the most success are almost always those who give more than they expect to gain from others. Live generously and spend your energy on behalf of others! How can you serve people more today?

The CEO of You

Today, we'll have a conversation about how YOU are the CEO of your life. Many of these ideas come from a talk from Dennis Wheatley.

Here are some of the high points:

You need to decide to become a master of the profession you have decided to be in. You cannot control what others do, but you can develop very real competency in your field. 

We each have to be aware of the clock. Every person has the same 24 hours per day - but we all have a choice on how we utilize that time. Our goal needs to be to SPEND that time well rather than trying to simply save that time. 

Stop watching primetime TV. This is a great time to build wealth from 6 to 11 pm.

Next, you must take ownership of the thoughts going through your mind. That which goes through your mind will direct what you do and who you become!

What is your why? What helps drive you to get out of bed to run with everything you have every single day? Locking this in is critical!

Commitment - what you give your time to should reflect the values and the cause that you have determined is at your core!

You are in control of who you hang around! The 5 people you hang out the most will influence your life more than any other factor. Are those people making you better or worse?!

8 Habits of Great Leaders: Part 2

Today, we will continue the conversation about the 8 habits of GREAT leaders from a leadership teaching with Craig Groeschel.

Habit #5 is the habit of touching the lines. Make sure that whatever you are doing, follow through. If you cheat in practice... you are only cheating yourself and your personal progress! If you don't show up fully, those you lead will cut corners as well! Don't stop when you're tired - stop when you are DONE.

Habit #6 is the habit of ONE more rep! When you become a world class leader, you have started to do MORE than what is expected of you! The compounding impact of just one more rep over time is astronomical! If you are going to be a leader who does one more, become the problem solver... not someone who just points out the issues.

Habit #7 is the habit of fueling the fire. If you want to continue driving, you have to INSPIRE others... which means you have to first be INSPIRED.  

Habit #8 is the habit of showing back up. I commit and I don't quit.

8 Habits of GREAT Leaders: Part 1

In today's episode, we'll have a conversation following the first part of a talk from Craig Groeschel about the 8 habits of great leaders.

Here are some of the high points:

Great leaders aren't born... they are created. Your habits create WHO you are! The best leaders aren't always the smartest, the hardest working or the best connected. The best leaders intentionally commit to strategic habits that produce desired results.

How you wake up MATTERS... do you wake up without an alarm? Do you wake up on the FIRST alarm... or do you snooze multiple times before getting up? Become a person who decides you will not hit that snooze button to delay your morning opportunities!

PRE-decide on the key items that need to be completed each day. Any time you can make a decision ahead of time... make that decision. Any time you can automate a decision, do it.

Be willing to make the HARD RIGHT choice rather than taking the easy path. Do not delay and put off the difficult decisions you are responsible for.

The natural trajectory is to be SELF focused... as you grow in influence, you will need to intentionally need to make choices to be OTHERS focused.

How To Have A Winner’s Mindset: Part 2

Today, we will pick up part two in a conversation following a podcast from John Maxwell where he talks about how to have a winner's mindset. Here are some of the high points:

4. Success lies in forming the habits of doing things that failures don't like to do. Your habits are what separate you from everybody else. Most people do things based on their energy or their emotions. If you can install habits... they create frameworks for the good things you consistently do. When you do things you ought to do when you ought to do them... the day will come when you will get to do what you WANT to do when you WANT to do them!

The secret to success is to discover what your daily agenda should be for you and your team.

 

5. What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters in comparison to what lies within us! Paul from the Bible is a great example of this as he writes MANY of his letters while he was in prison! Your situation does not have to dictate what happens to you long term! Maintaining the right attitude is much easier than REgaining the right attitude. This is HUGE because when you give way to an unhealthy mindset, it gets harder and harder to get out of that ditch!

 

6. Your greatest achievements are those that benefit others. Bring people to a place they cannot go on their own. Success comes when we add value to ourselves - but significance comes when we add value to others!

How To Have A Winner’s Mindset: Part 1

Today's episode is the first part of a conversation following an amazing podcast from John C Maxwell about how to have a winner's Mindset:

1. It's what you know after you think you know it all that makes a difference. Are you developing yourself as a leader? We all want to find that NEXT leader... but so often we need to actually develop the people who are in our circle to SEE their leadership capacity! If you stop developing, you stop leading.

2. Don't let anyone steal your dream. Your personal WHY has to start deep within you so that people cannot take that from you when things get hard. There will be opposition -- there always is! "Dream Busters" are the type of people who want to keep you from getting to your dreams because they haven't been able to accomplish theirs.

3. You can spend your life any way you want, but you only get one shot at it. We have the freedom to CHOOSE what to do with the life we have been entrusted with. Are you using your life the way you are designed to live?

- Identify your purpose... especially a purpose that helps other people!

- Realize that today matters more than any other day because today is all you have.

- Tomorrow is a gift!

New Year... New You!

Today, we will have a conversation about the mindset you can take in these first weeks and months of a new year to set you up for a different and better year!!

When you start a new year, you have the chance to set the stage for who you are becoming with intentionality.

How do you make sure that you are FULL so that you have something to offer others?

First, sit down and determine who you want to become... then begin to build a plan to figure out HOW to become that person.... and most importantly you need to settle WHY you want to become that new version of yourself. 

The depth of your why will push you and give you energy when the times get tough!

Will you get up early each morning and spend time with God?

Are you going to decide to put good input into your heart and your mind?

Now, time travel in your mind to the future to the end of the year and visualize yourself as the person you are becoming. Look back to today when you decided to make the first step toward this transformation and feel the gratitude for who you became!

Work toward creating an I AM statement that positively request who you want to become! Because our brains are programed for survival, we need these declarations to rewire our brain to look at the right things!

Inspiration For Your Year

Today's episode is a conversation following a talk from Dean Graziosi about how to make this year your best yet!

Here are some of the high points:

When you're finishing a year and in the early stages of a new year, there is MUCH you can do to align your vision and your goals.

Don't forget what is POSSIBLE! Don't forget to DREAM and fight with persistence every single day. 

We have all been through a LOT in the last couple of years.

Hustle in your free time long enough to buy back the time you work for your full time job!

Fast forward to the end of this year; visualize that you've accomplished everything you wrote down at the beginning of the year!

Commitments Always Beat Goals!

Today's episode is a conversation following a talk from Ed Mylett and Jon Gordon about how we should focus on commitments rather than goals. Here are some of the high points:

Standards matter more than goals. 

People often create these big picture goals, but fail to set standards that will actually facilitate the journey TO GET TO those goals.

Goals are temporary - but your character is what sustains you.

Goals will not take you where you want to go... but commitment WILL! 

What are you installing in your daily habits, rhythms and character that will help you lead a life that conquers all the goals you dream of one day?

God created you for oneness with your mind, body, actions and goals. Two of your most powerful tools to experience this are LOVE and FORGIVENESS. These are incredibly powerful!
