Think About It

Many leave their goals and dreams as ideas then get frustrated by their lack of progress.... This relates back to part 1 67% of people have goals 10% of people have plans, 2% of people will execute those plans.... understanding those statistics should force you to do some self reflection..... what percent are you? This should also alleviate some of your frustrations when ppl don’t follow through o...

I was reading a study and it said 67% of people have goals, 10% of people have plans on how to achieve those goals and only 2% of people will actuallytake consistent action on those plans... makes me wonder who are the 1%ers? What did they do different? Or were their goals just that much bigger? #ThinkAboutIt

The problem or challenge is if those daily and weekly goals are not leading to qtrly, annually, or life time visions at some point you start to feel burnout. Not Bc you are not doing solid stuff but you can never win.... Bc there will always be another goal.... as long as you have another day/week. It’s similar to defining a dollar amount as success; there always be more money out there....

Building others is teaching, coaching, and developing them to be able to fish on their own. Bc many times givers create larger takers not Bc they want the individual to take more, but Bc our actions allow them to take more. So as you finish the week think about yourself and are you taking more than you are giving? Think about it at work, think about it at home, think about it with your friends, fa...

Our life and our current positions more times than not are a result of our thought process, our choices, and our actions. If you don’t like where you are change your thinking/thought process and actions: Keeping in mind how you prioritize your values. If you continue to act and do what you have always done you will net what you always have

The participation generation has created this idea that if I show up, or if I was there I deserve whatever the winner got, whatever the top performers got, whatever the prize is.... no! You aren’t entitled to anything for your effort with the exception of the experience that you created or that you went through.

So in short or in summary you control what your work life balance is and if you are making the decision to allow others or the wind to dictate your direction stop getting upset with your boss, with your leader, with your company and start asking yourself when will you start accepting responsibility for you and what you want and what makes you happy?

There is an exception on that list....change- change isn’t hard- it’s the resistance to change that makes it hard or challenging. We get stuck in these comfort Zones and resist change and that creates unnecessary struggles. Let me provide clarity..... when I say comfort zone it’s not always that what you are doing is easy... but rather you have adjusted to an act, behavior, or system and now accep...

I also want to be clear that when I say doing what you want to be doing and doing what makes you happy you have to understand that happiness and growth are connected and 99% of growth requires stretching, pain, setback, learning new skills, reflecting, and understanding where you can add value. Is this your year? #ThinkAboutIt

So as you start to think about and take actions on being more productive or efficient with your time you have to take a step back and understand if you are waking up each day like it’s an accident or if you are being intentional about it?

The strongest steel is provided by the hottest fire and the some of the greatest hardships have create the greatest people! Keep going- success is on the other side. #ThinkAboutIt

When times get tough, or you experience set backs, Or things don’t go the way you want them to Many times we give up, we get lazy, we get offended, we get frustrated, we start to have doubt, we question our skills or abilities.... not understanding that many times right there in that tough situation or set back that is the perfect time or place to exude or live into your reason for starting and it...

When I speak of commitment it is not I show up every day; It’s I show up every day with a plan based on my or my team’s priorities, and a decided mind to do my best, be coachable and have an understanding that success is a process not an event. Once you commit you will always have haters/naysayers no matter how good, loving, kind hearted, well spoken, giving, you are. But when you start to allow t...

When ppl get really stressed out, or are sad, or just hit with a hard time- most ppl sit on the couch and sulk, or go to sleep, or pout... be a person of action and decision.... attack tough times make a decision sooner than later to overcome whatever obstacle it is you are facing. And if your circle is one of action they are going to encourage you to be of action and never let a tough time humble...

This is where the responsibility- personal responsibility and accountability come into play. If you back up and take your eyes off success and really start understanding you - look at where you are right now and own it ! you start to break down what part you have played in your own success and your short comings. You are responsible for all of it.

You are ultimately responsible for your own happiness and many times we are risking our own happiness to fit into a box of what someone else defined as success. Money, title, power, appearance, etc...... let’s be honest, those can all be apart of the equation but the process to getting those things is more important due to the character and relationships built over that time. So when I ask are you...

I see so many adults that have stopped dreaming, stopped working hard, stopped challenging the norm, and stopped trying to get better and instead of figuring out how to win and continuously improve; I see ppl settling for making excuses, accepting status quo, relying on tenure to elevate or keep them relevant using the term busy as a replacement for productive and expect a trophy just for showing...

Many times we continue to repeat the same cycle and expect a different result but we fail to realize we are repeating the same cycle(s) simply because we are focused on avoiding or replacing our pain or void we have felt. Stop wandering through life! Start choosing how you want to live and become who you want to be. #ThinkAboutIt www. ThinkAboutItConsulting.com

Repetition is the path to progression and practice makes Permanent not perfect. So pay attention to the details of how you are practicing and what you are getting out of it...... success is in the details don’t cheat yourself.

Understand we can all be successful! We were all put here to do more than sleep, go to work, and pay bills. Each week we have 168 hours to work with, if you chose to waste them don’t get upset about where you are, get inspired by where you want to be and go get it! One of the hardest parts of figuring out; what’s success for you?

Part 1 we broke down your time and being intentional about where your time is spent and what you are trying to accomplish. Part two dives a little deeper into the resources you will need at a foundational level and what to expect as you begin your journey of becoming the best you and maximizing your potential. #BeGreat #ThinkAboutIt

Ever wonder how we all have the same number of hours in a week but yet we don’t accomplish the same amount of success(you define success)? Find out why! #ThinkAboutIt

When it gets hard that is when you have to remind yourself that you can’t skip the struggle. In short; in any situation make sure you step back and assess the situation, the players involved, how it aligns with who you are as an individual and if you want success in that space. Once you have made the decision, create your action plan expect a struggle and know success is coming. #ThinkAboutIt

What do you think of these terms: systematic Racism? inequalities? disparity in sentencing? Socioeconomic Status? The list goes on..... what will your legacy be? What are you doing to create change? #ThinkAboutIt

When you think about all the changes you have overcome, experienced, and initiated in your life you start to understand that change is the most common experience you will face. Embrace change, be an early adopter, and reap the rewards quicker. We all have two choices: make progress or make excuses.... what are you going to do? #BeGreat #ThinkAboutIt
