Here we are bang on the halfway mark of the year. How have the first six months been for you? How have you grown, what have you learned, what action have you taken?
This week we had our second VIP 1-2-1 (of our second year) with Paul Smith. Chris and I always love these meetings, both the group sharing during the day and the mentor sessions. Working with Paul and Aniko always helps expand our thinking on what is possible and gives us tangible actions to go away and work on.
We’ve also been putting finishing touches to our guest house. Big thanks to James at Fusion for helping with the kit out and for the team at Cleantec who did a brilliant job of cleaning and set up.
Six months ago we started the year with about 17 bed spaces across our SA units and our goal for the year was to be at 120. Here we are at the halfway mark and we are sitting just a few beds shy of 60, so almost half way.
Inspired by the morning message from Darren Hardy, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to share some half time review tips for anyone who’s interested.
How to make the halfway mark and holiday time work for you
- Take a half time break, rehydrate (both physically and mentally), rest and recover.
- Review your game plan i.e. what were your goals at the start of the year, where do you stand, what still lies ahead for you to achieve your goals?
- Assess what you know now that you didn’t know at the start of the year (you’ll be surprised how much you’ve taken on board and how some things that seemed foreign to you in January are becoming part of your norm). Some helpful questions are: Who are you becoming? What are the obstacles that have come up? Where are your weaknesses/areas you can outsource? What are your advantages you need to leverage more?
- Decide what adjustments do you need to make. How do you need to change your game plan to keep yourself on track for where (and who) you want to be at the end of the year?
- Figure out specifics on what you need to do to still achieve your big goals and recalibrate your own performance metrics.
Simple! Then crack on with consistently moving the ball forwards each day.
Today marks the beginning of the Scottish school holidays and like many, I’m in the airport with 2 weeks of fun in the sun a few short hours away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” This quote is completely true. Once you know what you want, you can stop taking advice from just anyone. You can filter out the endless noise and hone in on your truth.
Eventually, you can train your conscious mind to only focus on what you really want in life. Everything else gets outsourced and forgotten by your subconscious.
Decide what you want or someone else will.
You are the designer of your destiny. What will it be?
