2018 – What will you make happen?

If you haven’t already, you have to plan 2018. Get in a quiet room for a few hours with a journal and some colored pens. Think about it. 

First, reflect. How old are you? If you know, how many years until the next chapter? What have you accomplished so far? What are the key constraints in your business? Which team members are all in and which aren’t? How can you lead them better to get more engagement? 

What do you want to do? What are the organizations top two most important goals, that if it took all year to accomplish, would be well worth it? What do you need to learn to be a better thinker around these goals? What kind of person do you need to be to attract these results? What changes do you need to make inside you? 

What changes do you need to make in your business once you learn and become the right kind of leader? Who do you need to get involved in helping you make these changes? (Everyone!?) When will you make these changes? Make a plan. Do you need to collaborate on the plan? When will you communicate the plan? How? 

Every great achievement was created twice – once in the creator’s mind, and then again in reality. Create it in your mind first. Create it in vivid detail. See it. Get the feeling that comes along with it being accomplished. Hold it in your mind for some time. Hear it. Be it first.

Send it from your brain through your hand onto paper. Express it. Work it through. 

What is MOST important in getting it done? What parts have you historically been weak at, procrastinated or avoided? See yourself simplifying the entire task and going right at the most critical parts. What parts must be done by you and what will you delegate? How will you keep enthusiasm and momentum up for you and for your team as you progress?

Build it in your mind. Make a plan with timelines. 

Then do it. Make it a huge year!
