Last year I posted an email. It had a ton of replies to it. I think it struck a nerve with people. Not saying my others don't but this one in particular had really hit bulls eye.
I asked what would you or could you do with 100 days? Would you delay finishing a project or would you get it done/started before the end of 2009.
What do you need to let go of? Handle? or Heal? Or even resolve that has been left.
It all started with a client who was going to postpone his last few goals until the new year. Action is important. The correct type of course. You have to do something though.
My good friend and colleague was recently diagnosed with cancer and he said there are things we put off that we shouldn't.
Your goals might not be related to a career. They could be fitness, health, financial, relationships or whatever.
Key point:
Where are you starting from. This is a great exercise I call it the "TNT" exercise that you can do both professionally and personally. It will create an explosion of focus on where your attention should be.
The TNT (Three, Now, Three)
1. Create three columns. One that reads "Three Years Ago" The Middle Column reads "Now" and the right hand column reads "Three Years Future"
2. List the following examples in each column & score out of ten with a brief description of each and why it is that number. For example, Living Environment Past 5: Lovely house, not big enough, need a garden. Now: Great view, small garden. Future: 5 bedroom house with large garden to have the children playing.
3. Start with the past, then move to the Now column and then move to the Three Years in Future. You cannot start moving forward without knowing where you are today.
Health/Fitness
Career
Living Environment
Social
Relationships
Financial
Sports
Friends & Family
And any other category.
have a look at where you are today and this will highlight where you should focus in the short term.
