NL # 47 – Show Up. Short-term Vision, Big Results. Distractions.
Thought #1 – Show Up.
You will experience crises at some point in your personal or professional life. How you react during a crisis is a choice. You can choose to show up and lead, or you can choose to ignore what is happening around you.
Yes, the choice is yours, but it is always best to show up when things get tough, even when you don’t know what to do. Showing up is half the battle, and because you showed up, your team will trust you.
Thought #2 – Short-term Vision, Big Results.
Don’t discount the value of creating a short-term vision. Creating visions for the short-term can lead to your long-term vision coming to life.
However, you must focus on making your plans very clear. More times than none, no plans have been made or the plans are not clearly mapped out so accomplishing your vision doesn’t happen. The best thing to do is to make sure all your short-term visions have plans that are crystal clear. Dedicate your time to working your plan and the vision you have for both the short-term and long-term will become a reality.
Thought #3 – Distractions.
They feel good; they give us comfort; they make us think we are doing something important. But the truth is they are one of the greatest enemies of your success. So, get rid of them quickly.
Quote for the Week
You have to be so disciplined that even your distractions become focused.
