One of the biggest problems I had when I started my business was that there were so many opportunities and so little time. I would see what others were doing and suddenly wonder, “Hey, maybe I should be learning that, too.”
Or I’d hear about some new thing and think, “Hey maybe that will help my business.”
But then I realized that I have my own unique passion, purpose, and niche. And when I work in that zone, my strength zone, everything flows, and opportunities within my area of expertise or skill present themselves.
A mentor of mine asked me a very a powerful question one day, “Beth, what do you want your life to look like in 10 years?”
That was an easy question to answer. But her next question wasn’t so simple. “Okay, so what action steps are you taking today, next week, next year, and in three years to make sure that you are always getting closer to that vision? And how do you prioritize your resources in alignment with that vision?”
I hadn’t thought about that before. You see, what I tell all my clients is that we only have three resources: money, expertise, and time. Money and expertise can be increased, expanded, and replenished, but time, once spent, is gone forever.
That’s when I came up with the Individual Strategic Planning Tool. I use it to keep me focused on what is most important to move towards the life and work I want.
I’m offering it for FREE so that you can have the same focus and commitment to your zone of strength and can achieve ultimate success. Get your copy here: http://www.bethwonson.com/free-toolkits
So how are you spending your time to achieve the life and work you desire in 10 years? Or 5? Or 25?
