Define what needs to be true to hit your goals

You can’t just choose your ideal statement then wait for it to happen. The next step is to define the things that need to be true to get to your ideal life.
What you need to build your ideal week
by
There I was — relishing a week in total ‘flow’ state[1]. Nothing could stop me. I didn’t have 52 things pulling my attention away from what mattered. I could focus day in, day out on what mattered. The quality of my work reflected that heightened level of focus. Even things I expected to be difficult
Write your ideal life statement daily
by
Earlier this month I talked about your single statement about your business. I’ll review mine for you: My business will let me spend much of my time travelling and in the wilderness. From there you need to define what needs to be true for you to get to that ideal statement but when I started
This must be true for your ideal life
by
Last Tuesday we talked about your ideal life and how you define what that looks like for you. For me it means spending time in the mountains, and with my kids. I haven’t yet achieved my ideal, but I know my goal, which means I can start — and stay — on the path. My

by
This month we’ve talked about investing in your employees. From dealing with employee failure to how you reward them, how your best people may be hindering innovation in your company and mentoring the people you have working for you or getting them mentored by their peers. If that seems like a lot of work, you’re
Is money the best reward for a job well done?
by
Rewards are awesome. When my oldest daughter behaves well and does her chores and earns something like a new set of Lego she’s ecstatic. She’s also pretty happy for some nice shiny loonies (that’s Canadian for a $1 coin). But talk to her later in the month and the thing she actually remembers earning is
A Scary $100K Mistake on Your First Day

I’ve got a friend who, on the first day of his new job, cost his company $100,000. He worked for an airplane refitting company and the story goes that he was told to compact some garbage. As he gathered garbage for compacting, one box in the refuse seemed odd to him so he asked someone
