How to Make 2021 your Most Successful Year
Step 1: What Wins did you have in 2020
Take a sheet of paper and on the front side, make a list of wins you had in 2020. Examples include:
Work Milestones: got promoted, $ of PNL generated / deal production
Internal: managed up better, delegated, improved relationships internally
External: sourced/executed new deal(s), expanded network
Life events: new relationship, got engaged/married, had a kid, moved on from a relationship
Financial: got paid what I’m worth
Feelings: felt more confident than ever, settled in a new position, resolved conflicts that were holding me back
Purposely omit what you wanted but didn’t get from this list!
Step 2: What Are You Playing for in 2021?
Turn the sheet of paper over, and make a list of what Behaviors / Results you’d like to see in 2021. Imagine it is December 2021, and write down what you’ve achieved in the past tense in the following areas; e.g. “I have…”
Professional
Financial
Health
family
Intimate/social relationships
Fun
Spiritual
Step 3: What’s a CRAZY ask for 2021?
Beneath your 2021 list, write down what would be a wild outcome. A stretch far beyond what you visioned in step 2.
Carry this sheet in your pocket and look at is once a day. You’ll be amazed at how this becomes your reality in 2021.
