This email is going to be a quicker read, as I know that we\u2019re all in the holiday rush \u2014 but still very intentional. Consider this as my last hurrah for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I brought up the theme of \u201cbreaking down barriers\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in October, I shared 2 key pieces of advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then in November, I talked about the mindset and actions you can take towards \u201cbecoming your future self.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/a> I want to tie in that discussion with today\u2019s topic: Eliminating complacency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ve talked a lot about\u00a0having goals<\/strong>\u00a0this year in\u00a0many of our newsletters<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, but it’s so important to look at the\u00a0depth<\/strong>\u00a0of those goals \u2014 the level of commitment and completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of the goals you completed, how thorough<\/strong> were you? Have those actions made an impact<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s difficult to achieve goals and perform well<\/strong> when you aren’t focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do you remain focused and committed? Build your grit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In her New York Times bestselling book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, Angela Duckworth defines \u2018grit\u2019 as a combination of passion and perseverance<\/strong> for a singularly important goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grit is an individual\u2019s long-term focus<\/strong> and persistence over a period of time \u2014 it\u2019s a crucial component in getting big things done<\/strong> that make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presence of mind<\/strong> affects everything that we’re doing, especially what you do day-to-day. It is critical to know what you’re doing, so that you know what to do next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can’t be focused in the present moment, you certainly cannot be focused in your future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus also helps you build structure<\/strong>. There is a clear beginning, middle, and end to your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flow works best when you break down your big goals into checkpoints<\/strong>, helping you quickly eliminate barriers to the next stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Break your goals down into manageable chunks<\/strong>, assess the impact as you go, and you’ll be on your way to making lots of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Admittedly, this is something I struggle with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I want to focus on one action at a time\u2026 but I also call myself a master of multitasking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when I do that, I don’t always finish<\/strong> what I\u2019m working on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’re multitasking and you have interrupted thoughts or interruptive things happening, you jump to something else and you never quite finish anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn’t mean that you can’t have your finger in the pot \u2014 in multiple pots and a couple things \u2014 but you’ve got to be able to finish the task<\/strong> so you have closure on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then move on to the next thing to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing it this way improves your diligence<\/strong>. You are actively working to eliminate complacency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like I mentioned last month<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, your future is highly driven by your present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you want 2023 to look like? How can I help you<\/strong> achieve that vision?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until next month my real estate friends \u2014 or perhaps, talk to you<\/span><\/strong><\/a> next year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This email is going to be a quicker read, as I know that we\u2019re all in the holiday rush \u2014 but still very intentional.
