If April showers bring May flowers, here’s the question: How have the seeds you planted this earlier this year on your projects been growing? Is your project starting to sprout? Is it blooming? And what sort of time and attention do you need to give to your project in order to make it grow.
Like with anything, the more time you spent on something, the faster it is likely to grow. However, if time is limited, just spend a little time each day, every week, and you will start to see the results…
Here’s hoping you all have a bountiful harvest!
What will you do in May to get your projects to bloom? Post your May goals in the comments.
Goal of the Week: Visualize! Then, create a representation of what it is you want. What is your ultimate dream, goal, or accomplishment? Do you want your book to be on the New York Times Bestseller List? Do you want your business on the Forbes list? Want to be named top 30 under 30 – or top 40 under 40 – in a respected industry publication? Want your app on a list of top apps? Great! Put yourself there … literally.
Want to be on the New York Times Bestseller List, take the current NYTBS. Then, put your name and book title right at the top.
Want to have your name – or your business – as part of a highly respected list in your industry? Take the current list from that magazine, and add your name and photo to that list.
Want your app on CNET’s Best App list or the Top Apps list on Apple or Google Play? Take a screenshot of the current list, then Photoshop your app right at the top.
Seeing what you want is the first step in getting what you want. Once you have your visual representation, print it our and put it somewhere you will see it every day.
What is it you want? Share in the comments.
Goal of the Week: Make an intro – introduce two friends or peers to one another. Business is all about referrals. And some of your friends can benefit from the skills, experience, and advice of others. So, make some connections. Check your Facebook or LinkedIn feeds and see who of your friends needs something, and then see if you know someone who can fulfill that need. Or, just go through your friends list, decided which of your trusted troupe would benefit from meeting another member, and make an intro. Just make sure you ask before sharing someone’s email address.
In the past week alone, I received two out-of-the-blue intros. Not only did it make me feel good – personally and professionally – it made me want to pay the connections forward.
Who will you introduce? And why?
