Your Mid Year Stock Take

It’s the mid-point or end-point of the year, depending whether you work in financial years or not. So how are you tracking?  Is there a smile of satisfaction on your face, or a look of disappointment or fear?  No need to despair, the rest of your life starts a second from now, so you can always start afresh.  Doing well? Great, and you can also learn and move on, by following these steps:

1. Review your goals. (Didn’t write them down?  Well, that’s part of the issue. Pretend you had for now.)  Give yourself a score out of 100% for each, that way you measure your progress more effectively than Done/Not Done.   Acknowledge progress, even if small.
2. Delete any goals no longer relevant.  For those not finished, consider why.  Was it a goal for someone else’s idea of what you should be doing?  Was it fear, anxiety, self doubt or self criticism stopping you?  Or an unrealistic expectation of what could fit into your life? 
3. Dream for a while.  Step out into your future and see, hear and feel what it would be like if everything just fell into place, easily.  (No room for ‘buts’ and self doubts here.)
4. Reverse engineer – work back from the future, writing down the steps needed to achieve that dream.  (Goals are just dreams with deadlines.)
5. Check you have something for you personally as well as for business/career.  This is all for you, you know, your life, your satisfaction and fulfilment.
6. Put those action steps into your diary, including lead up (small action steps) reminders.  No point turning the page and realizing, oops, haven’t  done any marketing for that workshop tomorrow!  If you are visual person put them on your wall too.
7. Find someone to hold you accountable, to cheer you on and share resources.  It’s your path, but you don’t have to walk alone.  Your success is built on the strength of your team.

If you’ve realised you’re still running the same old strategies or habits, so are getting the same results, and are fed up with that, then it’s time we had a chat.   If you’d like a complimentary Success Map session to really clarify where you are, where you’re going and where you need to focus for success, call me soon.  I have time for only 4 Success Map sessions this month, and only 3 Transition Coaching program vacancies.
