\nEvery year I create a plan for my business.<\/strong> I usually start with the numbers, then build my strategies, then finish with narrative reflection (past year accomplishments, lessons learned) and goals.
\nThis year I felt the itch to change my approach, and with the help of my coach turned my process upside down.<\/strong> First I re-visited my foundation: Purpose, Mission, and personal Core Values. Next, I documented my accomplishments from last year, and from that positive space I found it much easier to envision what success will look like this year. Crunching the numbers was almost an afterthought. It’s the best business plan I’ve created in 16 years.
\nThe deep dive into my Core Values and aspirations revealed something powerful to me,<\/strong> and I realized it has been the secret to my success for a long time:
\nI don’t “do” Goals. I do Declarations. <\/strong>
\nI’ve been teaching this idea for years, but for the first time I realized how truly, remarkably powerful the approach has been for me over nearly three decades.
\nThe secret is in the language.<\/strong> In my personal document (Purpose, Mission, Values), none of the following words appear: want, need, should, not, stop, try,<\/strong><\/em> or will.<\/strong><\/em> Instead, the document is filled with phrases like I am, I have, I feel, I make, and many other action verbs.<\/p>\nListen to the Language of Your Goal<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Give your Goals POWER!<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
\nLet that sense of disconnection drive you to behave according to your goal, versus behaving out of habit.<\/strong> NOTE: this is a slower process than a Makeover or a crash diet, but will in the end yield more permanent shifts in your patterns of thinking, feeling, acting, and leading.<\/p>\n\n
Do This For Yourself:<\/span><\/h3>\n
