Starting with the ideal end in mind
what is your destination?
I mean... If there is a place that you want to get to in your life or business, where is it? What is your burning desire to achieve?
You might recall the author of "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People", Stephen Covey.
He came up with the idea that, before you start any day, task or project, you want to clarify your desired outcome upfront. That is: before you launch yourself into action, you want to visualise your destination vividly and then work your way back.
People often get challenged by competing priorities. They also think that they have more things to do than time available for completion.
When we get caught up in the whirlwind of activities, there is a risk to loose sight of what truly matters.
Are you busy?
Chances are that you are.
I mean... are you really busy making progress towards the end you have in mind?
And do you know where you are headed?
You see, you might be busy doing all sorts of things that keep you busy, while making very little or no progress towards your most valued goal.
In this case, it's not the DOING that is problematic. There is plenty of activity! Instead, it is not being clear about what contributes to your goal or what your #1 goal exactly looks like.
To use a GPS analogy... While some people are driving around, hoping to one day get 'there', others use a GPS system, insert a specific destination, and then follow the instructions.
Whilst the former may take months, years or even decades to get 'there', the latter reach their destination very quickly without losing precious time.
The point is: time is the essence. There is only so much of it. Contrary to popular thinking, time is worth more than money!
So, which of the two cars are you in?
- The one without clear direction
- The one with a GPS system
If you have been dabbling for a while, the older you get, the more you realise the gravity of this point. You cannot buy time, but you can buy a GPS system to reach your destination faster.
I would love to help you do that through my upcoming webinars (and more) for members. They serve as a GPS system.
You see... 2019 is coming to and end, and the question is if you want more of the same in 2020, or something better altogether.
Unless you think things through before you get busy again, you risk burning through precious time once again.
Remember: you cannot buy more time, but you CAN buy ideas, insights and tools that help you make the most of the time you have.
