I like to sit down on Sundays to do a post-mortem. Some like to do this on a Friday.

Where am I?
Where do I want to be?
What needs to change?

Based on your monthly goals, what are the top three things you need to do each week? Rank them in order of importance.

Daily

I like to get a planner that lists out the day hour by hour. The night before, can you lay out the top three things you need to do that move the needle? Ideally, these support the weekly goals.

These are optional questions

- What do you want? I like to commit to journaling about this daily. Eventually, certain themes starts to surface that can become goals
- Who do you want to be?
- What do you want to do with your time on this planet? What do you want to accomplish?
- What gives you joy and you could do it all day long?
- What would you do if you could do anything?

Who do you need to be?

What character traits do you need to learn or develop in order to reach your goal?
What skills do you need to learn in order to be successful??
What philosophy, mindset or attitude do you need to adopt in order to be successful?
What type of person would achieve my goals? How would they look, speak, think act?

Examples

By December 31, 2022 at 5pm I have published my "Accept the Mess" wordpress blog and have 3,000 followers who engage with me daily.
“I am the founder of a brick and mortar Osteostrong location on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and have $170,000 sales annually"

Jennifer Lopez used to repeat positive words to herself daily, for 15 minutes every day. She credits it for where she got to today, with her wildly successful singing career.

Will Smith practiced positive thinking. He says, "In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet."

Watch this video of Oprah interviewing Jim Carrey. He used to sit on a hill above his hometown, and took out a check he had written himself to the tuen of $10M dollars for 'acting services rendered.' He would sit and say to himself 'everyone wants to work with me. I am a highly successful actor' over and over again.

He dated it specifically for Thanksgiving 1995, three years ahead. Find out what happens when you attach a goal to a specific date.

WHAT IF YOUR GOAL IS MONETARY?

Take a look at Debra's revenue calculator https://thegreatdoover.com/pricing-calcuator/. For example, Divya can list the top three activities that generated the most revenue in 20211. What was the price point, percentage of revenue? Zeena can list the top three offerings at Osteostrong.

What was your our close rate for each outbound query? How many outreaches will you have to make a month, or a week to get that out of state property? or that revenue goal for Osteostrong?

HOMEWORK

8:25-8:30pm

Commitments

Homework: Make a Completion board or a BRAG BOOK. It includes
things you accomplished. We make 'Completion boards' and 'Brag Books' to connect the impossible with what's already been possible

Make it online. Keeping your data in the cloud makes it easy to find and recover your data in case you lose your laptop, phone, or physical notebook.

Record your work accomplishments, awards, wins, and even affirmations or quotes from your colleagues. Make this a central place to keep key milestones across your personal and professional life. You can reference it when you’re building a resume, interviewing for a new job, getting on a sales call, or even when you need a morale boost.

Here are a few things you can include. Remember to be detailed.

Anytime you hit or exceed a goal
Anytime a client, co-worker, boss, friend, (really anyone) says something positive about you
- Note: As soon as this happens, your next question needs to be “Can I quote you on that?”
Any awards, certifications, and recognition you received
Anytime you went above and beyond your core job description to provide value.
- How many?
  - Examples: calls were you making in a day, tickets were you closing, processes did you implement?
    
    Try to be as quantifiable as possible. Showing numbers and statistics will hold much more weight when you detail your accomplishments. Basically, what did you do and by how much?
    - What did I increase?
      - Examples: revenue, brand recognition, customer satisfaction
    - What did I decrease?
      - Examples: support tickets, costs, overhead.
When the time comes, quantifiable data will help you show your value in the best possible way.

Note: If you aren’t able to find quantifiable data, be sure to add the skills it took to complete your goal

Afterwards, think about

• Why was it important to you?
• What were the actions you took?

List at least three. You will see a pattern.
