Consistency Matters

Well here we go - we're into the run into Christmas! What a year!

What I notice at this time of the year is that leaders and business owners start to get complacent and take their foot off the pedal.

It’s been a hard and full on year - I know. But if you want to finish this year strong AND set the start of your 2023 up right - then you have to keep going.

This is where consistency matters.

It’s the little things you do every day that really matter and allow you to build momentum - and momentum generates results!

Watch and listen for those little voices in your head that tell you things like:

• “It's been a hard year - just take the rest of the year slowly.”
• “Don't worry about following up that client / proposal / opportunity - leave it until the new year.”
• “I can't be bothered having that hard conversation with a team member or client - I'm tired and don't want the angst.”

Use your calendar to your advantage here. This way you are physically creating the time and the space in your week to do the things that matter the most for your team or business.

Build in time in your week for:

• Following up clients or proposals
• Having conversations with staff / team members or clients.
• Strategic planning and strategic business development.
• Just getting stuff done!?

AND - if you are tired, jaded or just a bit over it - create time in your calendar to get out, go for a walk, get into nature, breathe, relax, think creativity about a problem you're facing, think strategically about your next steps with your team or business etc. etc. You get the point!

This is where conscious awareness of your thoughts, mood and emotions and how they impact your behaviour and ability to take good quality action every day - really comes into its own.

You've got this!

Remember - consistency matters. So make sure you are taking good quality action in the right areas every day and you'll finish this year strong AND set the start of your 2023 up right!
