5-Step Blueprint for a Winning 2022 ??

High performers know that pausing, thinking, and resetting are critical.

So as we begin the new year, I am sharing below the process I go through planning my year.

It’s a simple and effective approach to getting my best thinking on paper.

In each step, you can look from the important areas of your life, such as:

? Business / Leadership

? Family / Friends

? Health / Fitness

? Spirituality / Religion

? Fun / Travel / Hobbies

? ? STEP ONE?

My Accomplishments

Make a list of your 2021 accomplishments

? What were my wins (big and small) over the last year?

? What specific results did I produce?

? Where did I develop myself?

? What am I most proud of accomplishing?

Listing your accomplishments gives you a chance to celebrate the wins.

??

? ? STEP TWO

My Ideal Future

Speculate on what would make a winning 2022 for you.

?? By the end of the year, what have I accomplished?

? What did I start and finish that I am most proud of?

? What makes me happy?

? What would I start this year if I knew I could not fail?

Give yourself room to dream a little. Spend some time being introspective on your life goals.

?

? ? STEP THREE

My Priorities

For each critical area of your life, start to see the main focus for this year.

? Given what my ideal future is, what matters this year?

? What will I start doing? What will I stop doing?

? What are new projects or activities that will help me get there?

? What are the habits to practice to get these results?

By inspecting my priorities, I can architect a year-by-design.

??

? ? STEP FOUR

My 90-Day Plan

Sketch out what the next 90 days look like for you.

? Given my priorities, what are the new actions?

? How will I schedule them to ensure they happen?

? How can I keep this simple, clear, and actionable?

? What kind of support could I ask for?

Until my aspirations get grounded in reality, they remain a dream. Planning in 90-day cycles allows for focused day-to-day performance.

?

? ? STEP FIVE

My Purpose

Give your Year a Name.

After filling in your blueprint, get a sense of what this year is all about for you.

? What values am I living this year?

? What inspires me as a big game?

? What difference is this year making for others?

? What stands out to me as the overarching theme of 2022?

Choose a word or sentence representing what this year is about for you to complete the blueprint.?

?

Take whatever time feels right to you to fill in the blueprint.

For some, it may take 5 minutes per step.

For others, you may want to revisit it over the next few days or weeks.

Keep it simple.

Clarity is power when deciding on your best actions.

Keep your blueprint in front of you and adjust the course as needed throughout the year.

I am wishing you an excellent 2022!
