Work with a mentor/coach/teacher once or twice a month. Teach or mentor someone else. Instead of hoping you have more time later, you need to: Decide what it is you want to learn. Commit to focusing on an outcome.what precisely will you gain? Put yourself in a position to learn it. Celebrate your progress REGULARLY.

I mean a friend, a family member, a partner, a mentor, a boss…Who is out there who is pulling you toward your next level, your next version, your next vision of what could be? Sure the difference is subtle; but, it’s important to distinguish between “needing to be” and “being” motivated. My question is “WHO” motivates you?

A great peer (or coach, or mentor) is the kind of person who will listen and ask "well-played" questions that get you to think a little bigger. Hear it : Get someone to partner with you, and meet up with them once a week or so for the next 5 weeks. During that #CoffeeChat or lunchtime, share your process of working toward one of your goals.

It's SO easy for me to come up with more "to-dos," tasks of things that need to be done as soon as possible, and that's why I must have a place where I "force" myself to simply think.
