WHAT'S BLOCKING YOUR RESULTS

I heard a quote recently that really smacked me upside the head... See if it does you, too.

"The MAGIC you've been SEEKING... Is in the WORK you've been AVOIDING."

?? Ouch, right?

Let that marinate on your mind for a moment.

"The MAGIC you've been SEEKING... Is in the WORK you've been AVOIDING."

The Disconnect Between Desires and Actions

So, let's think through this for a second... What "magic" do you seek? What fantastical result do you desire?

Let's go through some possible options... Consider these for yourself.

Productivity and Performance

You say you want... Increased productivity and achieve bigger, better results.

But yet you...

• Don't use the Sunday Planner to plan out your week
• Don't calendar your priorities (instead, use a to-do list)
• Struggling to optimize your daily routines? Discover the 6 steps to get results faster and easier with BREAKTHROUGH!

Professional Growth

You say you want... Career advancement.

But yet you...

• Don't go the extra mile
• Don't speak up
• Avoid taking on challenging projects that showcase your capabilities

You say you want... To be a better leader.

But yet you...

• Avoid holding others accountable
• Don't confront the necessary difficult conversations
• Don't commit to growing your leadership EQ

You say you want... More professional relationships, influential connections, and a valuable accountability group.

But yet you...

• Don't join high-level groups
• Don't reach out, show up
• Don't bring value and contribute to others

Health and Wellness

You say you want... To lose weight.

But yet you...

• Won't stop consuming sugar
• Eat carb-laden bagels, muffins, chips, and pizza (looking at ?? Ali ??)
• Continue eating packaged and processed foods

You say you want... To get lean, increase your energy, and feel strong.

But yet you...

• Don't go to the gym
• Don't sweat every day
• Put in the work inconsistently

You say you want... Feel better and not so tight and stressed.

But yet you...

• Don't do the stretching you know you need to do

Personal Relationships

You say you want... To be a better spouse.

But yet you...

• Don't prioritize the time, patience, and attention

You say you want... To be a better parent.

But yet you...

• Won't put the phone down and give your kids undistracted full attention time

Finding Your Vital Few

I KNOW you seek the MAGIC...

The magic of results, achievement, progress, and dreams fulfilled.

So, instead of thinking about ALL the things on your to-do list...

Take a moment here today to identify...

What is the WORK… you are AVOIDING?

There are always just a FEW things... That makes ALL the difference to achieving anything.

Just a few.

The problem is... We do LOTS of things... But avoid those VITAL few.

Or we give too little time to the VITAL few... Because we are "creatively avoiding" them... By doing all sorts of trivial things.

Your Friday Challenge

So, here's your challenge on this glorious Friday... Identify ONE MAGICAL result you seek.

What is it?

• Increase your sales?
• Find and hire top talent?
• Reduce operating costs?
• Increase customer retention?
• Increase lead flow?

Maybe it is...

• Lose 20 pounds in the next 6 months
• Run a half-marathon under 2 hours
• Save $10,000 for an Emergency fund in 4 months
• Increase the intimacy in your marriage
• Master a new hobby
• Write and publish a book
• Develop a stronger bond with your children

Identify ONE.

Then answer the big question... What is the WORK I've been AVOIDING... For the MAGIC I've been SEEKING?

Come up with one or a few answers to this pivotal question. A huge breakthrough might be on the other side of that answer.

That is, of course, if you… DO THE WORK.
