  Speaker 1: You're getting ready for Thanksgiving and the holiday season, and so let's hop into it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm at you live for the Do Our Things studio here in Wayneville, missouri, and I'm a high performance coach, a national mindset coach, and I wanted to share a message with you, something I've been talking a lot in my group coaching cohorts.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And here's the deal we only have six weeks left in 2023.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We only have six weeks left of 2023.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And so how are you feeling about what you accomplished this year?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: What have you accomplished this year?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What's left on the table to get done before the end of the year?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So this is our moment, right now, to really analyze.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You know where we're at and what we need to do in order to finish the year strong.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And I want you to rewind back to January of last year.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You started the year from Christmas to New Year's.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You probably, you know you probably that's probably the most reflective week of the month, or most reflective week of the year for most people.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Holidays are over and you're starting to look at the new year.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So, going back to January, I just rewind back to that moment.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Do we rewind anymore?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like VHS tape, like hit the rewind button.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I think you got to scroll back.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Scroll back, if you will, to late December, early January of this year, and when you were sitting down and doing your planning for the year, what did you set out to achieve?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You had a burning desire to make 2023 probably an amazing year.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Well, looking back, has it been amazing for you?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Did you accomplish what you set out to do at the beginning of the year?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So Brennan Bouchard often says no matter how small you start, start something that matters.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's not just about the grand achievements, but it's also about the little things.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's also about the small, consistent effort.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So, with that said, what were some of the smaller things that you actually accomplished?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: What are some of those things that you can be proud of?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I really want you to reflect on this year and I just want you to evaluate your path with honesty and courage.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I want you to acknowledge what you actually accomplished the big things and the small things, and maybe you've had some setbacks and side quests this year, maybe some detours right, I know I certainly did had some unexpected loss of some family members, had a big career change.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So what setbacks, what detours, what side quests took your attention and how did you show up in those moments?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: What did you learn from some of those detours?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: What were some of the lessons that you learned from those setbacks?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: There's no judgment here.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: This isn't about this isn't a time to judge yourself.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It's about.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's about growth and having understanding, and that's how you get better.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You're able to analyze yourself without judgment and some kindness, and acknowledge what you accomplished and where did you maybe get tripped up along the way?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: How did you grow?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: How did you get better?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I also want you to consider how did you plan last year as you went through the planning cycle and you mapped out the year, what was effective, what was not so effective.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And as you start your planning cycle for 2024, you know what do we need to change?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Time management.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You know it's the science of high performance, but time management is really life management and the better you can manage and organize your time systems, you can better organize your life, and that enables you to set boundaries, it enables you to be more productive, more fulfilling.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And I guess, that said, how can you improve on your planning systems going forward?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Do you have a planning system?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't, I'm gonna challenge you to get on that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And as you go into 2024, you know what needs to change.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: How are you showing up what needs to change?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite questions is if you only had five years left to live, what would you stop doing?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: What would you stop doing?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We're just thinking about starting and putting more on our plate, but what do we need to take off of our plate?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We're on this journey of improvement and time management, and all these skills are critical for us to achieve success and to find, you know, work and life balance, and so think about those things.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: How can you improve in those areas?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about reflection.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Reflection is the gymnasium of the mind, so I want you to look back at this year's journey with a reflective lens and just I'm going to tip a couple of questions here.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You may want to answer these, but what strengths did you discover about yourself and what strengths led you to achieve success this year and when things got really freaking hard this year, when you had those detours and side quests and shit got real, how did your strengths enable you to show up?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of people will say, hey, you know, you need to.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You need to turn your weaknesses into strengths.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's bullshit.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I think we have weaknesses for a reason.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think we need to double down on our strengths and become world class at our strengths.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We need our weaknesses, we need to show them up so they don't they don't derail us.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But turning a weakness into a strength, no, spend the time to turn a strength into something world class.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: What was your greatest achievement this year, so far as you look back, from now to back to January?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: What was your greatest achievement?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: What was your greatest contribution and impact to your family?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: What was your greatest contribution to the organization in which you work or serve, to your business?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: What was your greatest contribution to your community and in what ways can you carry forward the lessons learned from this year to dominate and get a jumpstart on 2024?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You know, every experience, good and bad, has a lesson.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It's you know it's, it's refined your character and it's made you stronger, and we need to acknowledge these things.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So let's focus on the future.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Let's look at short term.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: What needs to get done between now and the end of this year?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: How can you be disciplined in this holiday season?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: This can be an incredibly stressful time for people, and let's start with our life arenas, our health and wellness, right, I say you know, from Halloween until the beginning of the year, it gets cold and dark outside.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: We're not working out as much.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: We got the candy bowls.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Now we're going into Thanksgiving, which is just a just a.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You're going to be eating everywhere, right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And then you got holiday cookies and all those things.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: This is where people really fall off track.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All of my running friends, they've already completed all of their, their, their races and they're just kind of tired.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You combine that with the, the sun setting early at four o'clock here in the middle west and I don't know, just being cold outside, fatten up for the winter, right, you get we go into hibernation mode.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: How can you keep that cycle?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: How can you keep from from doing the same old thing that's going to impede you?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And what we don't want to do is go in the new year like everyone else, like new year, new me.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Then we'll get on the treadmill and try to lose the weight that we gained over the last couple of months.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: How can you place some boundaries for yourself so you can go into this holiday season not walking out, you know, 10, 15 pounds heavier than you already are?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Let's look at Christmas.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You got Christmas right around the corner.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Let's look at our financial that, that arena of finances and affluence and wealth.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Do you have a budget?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Do you have a plan to not overextend yourself?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So many people, they, they.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They lose control because they don't have a solid plan.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: They end up taking on a bunch of debt and then they spend half of next year trying to pay it off.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Your family don't want your presence.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: They want your presence with the sea.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: How can you be more present?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Do you have a plan so you don't overextend yourself financially?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But about your time?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You know you don't have to say yes to everything that you're invited to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: A Lot of people overextend themselves through time and they walk out of the holiday season like overextended, exhausted, because they said yes to every frickin thing that came down the pike.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: How can you put a boundary up on that?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: How can you walk out of the holidays refreshed and recharged.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So how can you be disciplined in?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: During this current season you know Jaco willing talks about.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: He says all the time discipline equals freedom and it's time for discipline, action, your unwavering commitment to yourself to achieve your goals, to hold the line on the shit you said you're gonna do so.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: When it comes to the remainder of the year, what can you still get accomplished by the end of the year?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: What limits can you push?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The actions you take now can set the tone in the narrative for the entire entire year.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Pablo Picasso once said that action is is the foundational key to all of success.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So what is one action that you can take to bring closer your year-end goals?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And, as you look at 2024, what would you like to get accomplished and how could you take massive action To achieve that?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You want to make a tangible.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You want to make it impactful.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I would encourage you to identify your goal.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Then ask yourself how can I 10x that goal?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It's gonna force you to stretch outside of yourself.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Great book 10x is easier than 2x.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I love that book because it forces you to think outside the box.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: People that are achieving at the highest levels there they just think and they're they think differently and they're more focused.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And 10x is actually easier than 2x and 10x is actually easier than 2x.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And as you take these actions, I want you to just Remind yourself of your values and your actions aren't just about achieving goals, but it's about living fully and purposefully and with passion and purpose.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: When people are miserable, they're usually not connected with their purpose.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: The distance between our purpose and and in our unhappiness that that, the further we we are away from that, the more misery we have in our life.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And sometimes we need to realign ourselves.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And so are you in alignment with your purpose?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And so here's your call to greatness.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You know these final weeks they're not just a count down to the year-end.
