Get Ahead of Life and Your Business: Create Exactly What You Want
It's easy to say you want to get ahead in life and in your business, but how exactly do you make that happen? How do you take control of your destiny rather than just reacting to everything that comes your way? Let me share a personal story and some insights on how you can start steering the ship.
A Little Bit About Me
This past Sunday, I was a mess. Returning home from Greece after 27 hours of travel and 12 days surrounded by people, I felt drained. You might be thinking, "But Ash, it's family, how can that count?" But for a big extrovert like me who can be totally sapped by social interaction, family counts as "other people."
I've learned that sometimes I need to rest or do things I want to do. If I don't, I end up physically ill. So for me, it's better to rest for 24 hours or spend that time doing exactly what I want. And yes, even though a small voice told me I was lazy and falling behind, I turned that voice off with a mantra: "This is a day of rest." A little "Sex in the City" helped, too!
But here's the thing: I did this for one day, not more, not a lifetime.
Getting Ahead
I have big goals, and my job is to get ahead of what I want in life and business, not merely react to things happening around me. That's what I did on Monday when I left Sunday's exhaustion behind. So how did I do that?
Planning: I sat down with my planner, and prioritized what was important. Planning is the most essential thing you do every day, week, and month, and if you need help finding a system that works for you, I'm here to help.
Meditation on Goals: I looked at my list for the day and meditated on what I wanted to achieve with each meeting and task. This visualization helped me align my daily activities with my overall goals.
Writing Down Life Goals: I have written down exactly what I want in this life and then reverse-engineered how I'm going to get there. With metrics and systems set for these big goals, I focus on them daily and don't let anything stand in my way.
