Yesterday Natalie asked us to paint a picture in our mind of our ideal day. Today, she challenges us to identify the most important steps to move that picture from our mind to reality:
- What are my three priorities for the next 30 days that will move me closer towards living life on my own terms?
This one’s tough as well. However, not because of figuring out what the top three priorities are. This one’s tough because if forces you to face the reality that you control you, and you alone, are all that is standing between you and your ideal world. After all, it’s much easier to come up with excuses on “why I can’t”. For me it’s really frustrating to face this challenge as my pet peeve is excuses — and here I face the reality that I’m making too many excuses versus getting on with what is important. With that in mind:
- While the exact title, topic, and audience for my long term business venture is not totally locked down, the general concept is. I’ve spent a ton of time identifying content that needs to be produced. The first thing that I need to do is (i) formalize the content to be produced, (ii) produce it, and (iii) arrange it in to a systematic manner.
- Over the past few weeks I’ve started reaching out to folks and asking them for help and insight. This blog challenge is a great example. As I wrote recently on my post about leverage, it’s critical to make sure you have the right connections in place. Priority number two will be to identify at least twenty individuals that I want to build relationships with (related to my plan), reach out to each of them, and find some way to help each of them.
- I need to focus on execution. I’ve had a fairly reasonable plan in place to date. Focusing on the first priority is a critical part of that plan. I need to avoid “seeking perfection” and move on with the plan that I have. Execution is critical.
When (not if!) I accomplish these three goals, I’ll be a step closer to that ideal day I envisioned yesterday.
