Breaking YOU through Personal and Professional Barriers
Which Hat Makes You The Most Money
The BIG THREE of Priority Management
HAVE YOU NOTICED…..IT’S AN ANIMAL?
Priority
management is NOT a black and white science!
It’s not just calendars, task lists and deadlines that can be filled in
and color coded…and then executed with perfection!
It’s an
animal! It has a mind of its own: the
mind of everyone else connected to your schedule and routine! Time doesn’t always consult you before it
makes a bolt in a new direction or throws a screaming emergency across your
path! Neither does it listen to reason;
it has its own agenda and priorities!
Sticky Note Goal Challenge
Back on December 29, 2011.. I sent out this tweet: Time Management tip: Send me 10 goals for you first 100 days of 2012. Wow you are already 97% ahead of your competition.
@DannyLSmith took me up on my challenge. He is making some significant transitions in the next 100 days...so he took me serious. Over the next 5 days he posted 1 or 2 tweets a day with some of his professional goals. Here is what they look like.
1. Give 75 good referrals
2. Finish 100 days with a $3,000,000 open pipeline
3. Receive 38 good referral loans
4. 8 Trust Workshops
5. 12 new recommendations on LinkedIn
6. New FB BizPage w/5 referrals to Realtors
7. 100% On-Time Closings
8. 100 one 2 one meetings
9. $5,000,000 Fundings
10. Make a Difference / Make a profit
Pretty impressive huh!
OK... I'm sure we have some "Goal Guru's" who might be looking over those 10 line items and have some smart comments about them.... but as his friend and pro-bono coach...I'm telling any critics to SHUT UP! Unless you have 10 or more... he is already ahead of you! Actually.. Danny is ahead of 97% of us all...simply because he wrote those down. Way to go man!
Do you have trouble getting in that groove of writing down your goals. Are you hitting brick walls? Does it seem just too formal or confusing?
Try this:
1. Gather in your family or department leaders
2. Get a stack of "sticky notes". A different color for each person
3. Start thinking about ALL the things you would like to see happen in 2012.
4. Remove all budget barriers - forget about the cost
- Remove all personnel barriers
- Remove all logistic barriers
- Remove all personal limitation barriers
- Remove all resource barriers
- Remove all calendar or time barriers
5. Set a 5 minute timer
6. Start writing one goal per page on a sticky note
7. Move quickly
- As soon as a thought comes to your mind....write it down
- Don't worry about it being too rediculous, simple or complicated
After your 5 minute timer goes off... as a group... discuss all your goals and brainstorm action plans. You're going to be amazed at what you discover! VIP: When you get done... POST them where you and others can see them!
I've done this several times on retreats. It's amazing what starts bubbling out of you once you get in that mode and you are limited by time! Let it flow!
WE are our biggest hurdle in setting and achieving our goals!
