  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey everybody Brian Smith here with the iM team series and I often times find it not difficult, but I'm odd at the fact that how fast time can go by for us as humans.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Quarter century has gone by now and it's been an interesting century and yesterday I talked about slowing down and taking some time for yourself to be reflective and I'm going to
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Reflect with a purpose, have a goal in mind when you're reflecting what is it you're searching for is it understanding clarity ideas on improvement closure, you know find a purpose for that reflection.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's really important, and try to get in the habit this year of doing that more often, not just once in a while or once a year, when we get to these year changes and we do resolutions and all of the things that we do at new years as humans.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't just reflect on personal or
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we talk about balance in our lives.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, there is no perfect balance for anybody because life throws things in us that just sway us, but the most comfortable balance that you can manage, that you can strive for lean into what makes you happy, look at your influence for what it is, which is important, regardless of what it is, it's important.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most of all, be smart.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: be specific with yourself and those around you.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Add measurement where you can.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do things that are attainable for you and realistic.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And do them at the time when you're ready for them.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're not, it's okay to pause.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's okay to take a step back.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I challenge you to be more clear about what you do, which means you should be more intentions.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And by,
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: having smart intentions, we don't really have resolutions, but we create opportunities for improvement.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, New Year's resolutions fail most of the time because we lose interest.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Our life just gets right back in the way.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have good intentions when we set those resolutions, but we don't remain intentional.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So how about one of your smart goals is to,
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: be specifically intentional about what you want, be specifically intentional about how you might get there.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Be specifically intentional about measuring your progress, setting small milestones.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Be specifically intentional about challenging achievement, achievability, realism, and timeliness.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Be specifically intentional about setting aside that time and having the
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is what we teach about beam smart, and it's our initiative to bring smart to the world in a grander way.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it does provide an opportunity in a foundation to give you sustainable progress in any endeavor you're choosing to do.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: When we are intentional about these things, we become intentional about how we communicate, how we listen and through doing that, our influence can grow our ability to collaborate.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It will strengthen ourselves, which is most important because you can't be your best self for others, unless you are first, you are best self for you.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But when you do that, you will strengthen your ability to have positive improvement directed influence.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Help people find their influence, help them reach their influence, help them be their influence in the most powerful way you can empower them through your own actions, show them what that's like.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when you're together with your teams, build those collective goals, make them smart,
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: smart measurements, smart progress, and what you will have is smart foundation in smart results.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when we align that path that journey, then our long-term vision will become long-term reality.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I hope you continue to celebrate the new year, and I look forward to speaking to you and bring amazing influence into our areas of influence.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have a great day.
