  • 104. Flashback: Get Set For Success In 4 Easy Steps
    Nov 13 2023

    This is a flashback of episode 64, published on January 22, 2023.

    It's a new year, new journey and new opportunities abound.

    Are you Set for Success?

    Step 1: Choose a theme for your year - a word or phrase.

    Make this year, a themed year for you. Choose a theme. That's going to make a big difference in your life. Whether that's a verb, that's going to tell you the action that you need to do. Whether that's an adjective, that's going to describe how you go about it, whether that's an outcome or a result that you're looking for in your life, whether that's a way that you want to show up. Whatever that is for you. No judgment. It's your word?

    Michel heard words like impact. Execute. Plan. Confidence. I heard words like self care, self assurance, emotional control. I heard phrases, like just do it. Get up and get out, go after it. Let's go.

    Step 2: To think about one activity. That you can do every day to support your word or phrase to honour your word or phrase.

    Step 3: Identify the resources you need to support you. This could be as simple as buying a journal or you may need a coach to support you.

    Step 4: Make sure there is a specific block of time in your calendar for the activities in step 2.
