“Everyone has a starting point and everyone has a ‘desire to get to’ point. The key is defining each and then crossing the chasm.”
- Jared Yellin
Why do more people NOT have what they want…?
I think it’s two specific reasons…
1 - They don’t know where they are starting
2 - They don’t know where they want to go
And this typically is NOT just in one area…
It’s in everything from your health, relationships, finances, career, parenting, spirituality, geographics, life experiences, etc.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?
And when I ask...where do you want to go…
I don’t mean in 10 years or 30 years or more…
I mean…
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO IN THE NEXT 6-MONTHS?
And what I really mean is BE SPECIFIC!
Specifically, where do you want to go with your health…
Specifically, where do you want to go with your wealth…
Specifically, where do you want to go with your relationship…
Specifically, where do you want to go with your parenting...
Specifically, where do you want to go with your life experiences…
Because as the cliche clearly states…
FUZZY TARGETS DON’T GET HIT!
But I am not referring to goal setting here…
Instead, this is what I do.
I define where I am…
I define where I will be in 6-months…
Then I take the steps needed in as straight of a line as possible to get to my desired outcome.
And the reason this is important on many levels is that this exercise is relevant in all areas of your life, but for the sake of entrepreneurship, let’s focus in this area for a moment…
Where are you NOW with…
Finances
Clients
Team
Culture
Product/Service
Vendors
Marketing
Customer Support
Retention
The list can go on and on and on…
And now…
Where will you be in 6 months…
And then…
What are the specific execution steps you will take to go from A to B, or in other words from NOW to 6-MONTHS?
I am often told that my process mastery skills are untouchable - which they might be - but really my strength is just helping people answer 2 questions…
WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 6-MONTHS?
So, let’s play the game…
Pick an area of your life…
Define Your A = where are you now?
Define Your B = where will you be in 6-months?
What are the actions you will take?
And now the secret of all secrets…
EXECUTE - it’s the variable between making it to B or not.
I know you got this - time to rock!
Live with Intention,
