You're invited to TODAY'S class

I'm writing today to share news of a fun, FREE, online class to help you get momentum that's happening today. 

At 3:15pm Pacific (6:15pm Eastern), Jodi and I are presenting a live, web training to help you break through the inertia that's keeping you from your dreams. 

Even if you can’t make it LIVE, register…You’ll get the recording!

 

You're motivated to move ahead. 

 

You just need some practical (and powerful) strategies to help you get momentum. That's precisely what we're offering in this training, so you won't want to miss it. 

In this 45-minute session we'll teach you:

• How to find your 'WHY' - the key to BEING motivated (versus 'getting' motivated)

• How to find and engage perfect mentors to move you toward success  

• How to use milestones to keep your big project on track (hint: we teach you how to break it down into manageable, measureable and do-able chunks)

• How to focus on what you've done (not what you have left to do) and use that to monitor and acknowledge progress as you go The best behavior modification tips to keep moving forward 

Sounds great, right? We think so too! 

So go ahead, register for this free training now. 

Let us be the wind at your back to help you move ahead. 

We look forward to "seeing" you on Tuesday! 

Go #getmomentum,

 

 

 

 

PS Of course, you're welcome to share this invitation to today's training with someone who you think could use some momentum in their life.

A place for everything. The #mindset to match.

When you look over there, you'll see something you left, to remind you of something.

There is a box in a cabinet in my office that is full of medication.

To the side of my desk, a stack of thank you cards and various denominations of stamps.

In my backpack, 500 calories/25 grams of fat AND everything is need to present a workshop for up to 5 hours.

In my wallet, money for a cab in 10 different countries (in case I can't use Lyft, of course!).

And... I have both PAPER and DIGITAL file folders for every time I get a card or an e-mail from someone that has been positively impacted by my work. I file it away so that I have concrete proof that I'm making a difference in the lives of the people around me on the days when I'm just not sure notes like this one really matter.

You may think me silly, but the most important discovery I've made over the past two decades is that I am the most difficult person I will ever have to manage. If keeping a box of kudos helps me keep going on the days I consider quitting, then that seems like effective self-management to me.

I could offer dozens of other ways that I mitigate my weaknesses by planning for them to make an incredibly inconvenient appearance, but I think you get the point.

We work on the honor system

I got 17 emails from people asking what the bonuses are when they order Get Momentum, How To Start When You're Stuck.

In momentum,

… Jason ...

Don't "wish" you had more time...

As I consider the importance of managing “time,” I reflect often on what gets in the way of getting thing done.

An experiment for you:

- Write down 10-30 things that NEED to be done this week.
- Next to each one, ESTIMATE how much time you’ll need for each one.
- In the THIRD column, multiply that number by 2. [If you think planning that meeting will take 45 minutes, write 90. If you think talking with your partner about summer vacation will take 30 minutes, write down 60.)
- Review your calendar, and schedule ONE of those sessions for 2 or 3 days from now. [NOT tomorrow, and NOT more than 4 days out.]
- Email ONE person you can ask to hold you accountable to doing that ONE session.

If you REALLY want to take *this* to another level ( and by *this* I mean your OUTPUT), then do ONE thing at a time…next. Make an effort to do your task - or as much of your task as you can - in one sitting.

Stay with it until completion. Notice it immediately WHEN your attention begins to wane (after after 15 minutes, see chapter three of YourBestJustGotBetter.com). Notice, I say when, not if! When you notice it, calmly relax, and recommit to the task you’re doing.

Keep a piece of paper nearby, and when you think of something else to do (to delegate, think about, to plan), take a moment to write something down. Consider it like a “bookmark” that you can use to save your place. Do that, return to the task you were working on, and stay there for another block of time.

Managing time…It’s really about managing focus. Go, control yours!

First, make an effort to do tasks one at a time. Stick with one item until completion if you can. If attention starts to wane (typically after about 18 minutes), you can switch to a new task, but take a moment to leave yourself a note about where you were with the first one. Then give the new task your full attention, again for as long as you can.

Don't Just Do It

The start line...

You have to decide long before you get there if you're going to get there. I actually don't believe that starting is "easy," like some people say. In the start you have to commit. And (just ask several of my own family members) we all know that commitment is hard!

In meeting the manager of a restaurant here in Los Angeles earlier today, I was reminded of this fact. He said that in three years of working there he'd clocked in 6-day weeks "most of the time."

Now, even if it's only one out of 4 weeks a month (I actually believe it was more!), getting back up to walk to the Starting Line has to be just as much work. He said that his wife and young child were depending on him... Talk about a why.

A motivating factor, to be sure.

I left him a card with a picture of the new book...who knows!

Think different. Get different.

I watched a video recently, and caught this quote:

"He's discovered that different approaches to coaching and mentoring have different outcomes."

Ok, this is perhaps one of the worst quotes I've ever heard in my 44 years of listening to "news."

Really?

He DISCOVERED this? C'mon…

If you positively imagine your future, what COULD happen? Let yourself focus on your future as if it's possible…

What's possible? Whatever you think!

This isn't positive thinking...it's directed.

And, you're in charge.
