Can you believe it's mid January? If you’re like me, you are already stressing out just thinking about all the things you want to accomplish this year. Before you have a melt down and do nothing, sit down, take a deep breath, create a plan of action, set priorities, make things happen! Make this year, YOUR BEST YEAR YET!
Use this quick, three-step process to identify what’s holding you back and develop three personal guidelines to improve your success:
1. First, make a list of all your accomplishments from the last 12 months. Large or small, what do you feel good about? When we feel unappreciated and unrecognized, we lose our self-confidence, and worse – our ability to make our dreams come true. So, do it. Pull out a piece of paper and list all your accomplishments.
2. Now, list all of your disappointments. Any times when you let others down? Projects left unfinished. Potential clients lost? Really successful people are willing to acknowledge their disappointments and learn from them, rather than ignoring them or sweeping them under the rug. On that same sheet of paper, make a list of all your disappointments from the past year.
3. Now, list as many lessons as you can identify. Use your list of accomplishments and disappointments as reference.
Look over your list of accomplishments, and ask: “How did I achieve that”? What was my secret? For example: I consistently made my prospecting calls and acquired several great new clients. List as many lessons as you can from your accomplishments.
Next review your disappointments and ask, “What could I have done to avoid this failure? “What is the lesson here? For example: I failed to call a prospect back when I said I would and lost the opportunity to work with a huge client. List as many potential lessons as you can from your disappointments.
From your list of lessons, choose the three that are the most meaningful to you and rephrase as them as guidelines - short, positive pieces of advice to yourself. For example: Make prospecting my highest priority; or follow through.
Now, post your guidelines where you can see them often. Following your guidelines on a regular basis will lead to positive changes in your behavior and more desirable results.
