Success impulse: Make history!
Who wouldn't want to make history and move the world with it? Here's a new Success Impulse on how you can make a more positive impact on those around you in 2019.
You now have about 49 weeks left to make history in 2019. Seriously, what is it that you will "move the world" with this year, at least in your environment and for your peers (or your customers). And by that I don't just mean "a little more of the same," but something really great that you can be really proud of.
Always in the comfort zone...
What's behind it? Well, the direction of our lives is largely determined by the questions we ask ourselves. And most people, from my experience, don't ask themselves questions that move them forward strongly, but questions that leave them in the comfort zone.
"What am I making history with this year?" is a powerful, umcomfortable question. Because you may not have an answer. If your response is "What a crock!" then we're on to something here. Then you have potential for more positive impact on those around you - and for making a real difference.
How to make history in 2019
Here are three specific ideas on how you can make history in 2019:
- Choose exactly one big target! I know you've heard this a thousand times: What is your one big goal for the next 12 months? And yet, when I ask people in any environment (including CEOs), I almost never get a clear answer. So write down your one most important big goal for this year!
- Double your productivity! How you can do that? First, you need your big goal for it (see point 1). Because everything that does not go in the direction of this goal is a waste. Then work every day at least half on the topics that really move you forward. This is exactly where it fails for most: They become extremely efficient in things that don't really move them forward - a huge waste.
- Grow every day! Finally, make this year your growth year! Read or listen to a good book each week that will move you forward. Get video and audio courses. Go to seminars. Participate in mastermind groups. And so on. A first step for this: Create a personal growth plan with monthly goals.
Well then, let's do it! If we have more positive "history makers" this year, it will be a better year. Especially in today's times, we need that - we need You!
