"The
smallest of actions is always better than the noblest
of intentions."

TOPIC OF THE
WEEK: "GETTING STARTED"
What is something that you've wanted to do but you keep putting
it off?
You can use the 30-60-90 strategy to help you get started on
what really matters. Choose that one task that would feel great
to get handled. Then, set a time when you will devote either
30, 60 or 90 minutes towards its completion. You don't have
to complete the task in the time you have allotted -- you simply
make a commitment to give it your total focus for that amount
of time and then you can stop once the time frame has ended.
When you make a commitment and then take action on that commitment,
you prove to yourself that you can be counted on. The more often
you hear that message the more you will strengthen your self-belief
and self-esteem.
Another benefit to this strategy is that when you take action
on something that really matters you will get a charge of energy
and motivation. Your brain will release endorphins that make
you feel great and you will have created momentum that will
carry over to other areas of your life. You don't have to wait
until you feel motivated to get going. Sometimes when you get
going your motivation will follow and will grow.
ACTION IDEA:
Identify that one project or action that would benefit your
career or your life if it were handled. Make a commitment to
yourself to take action today. Decide if you will commit to
this action for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Then choose a time to
begin and get to it. If you really want to improve the results
of this strategy, ask your coach or success partner to hold
you accountable. Make a promise to call or email before you
begin and then immediately after you complete your task.
