30 day detox

This piece and these ideas are based on the thoughts of John Jackson – Carbon Copy Pro Mentor.

In order to get more done and become a better leader John outlines 8 behaviour changes. He challenges us to try these for 30 days and see how we feel as a result. I’ll be working on these too!

- Read positive, uplifting material for 15-30 minutes a day.
- Avoid the TV for 30 days. Create time for other activities.
- Leave the Radio switched off for 30 days. Switch to CD or MP3 music.
- Cancel the newspapers and focus on now and tomorrow rather than yesterday.
- Choose our associations carefully. Spend more time with positive people, less with ones who drag our emotions and energy levels down.
- Drink more water to re-hydrate so you think more clearly and have more energy.
- Excersise more which can be as simple as a walk around the block or to the shops.
- Have some daily reflection time to give thanks for the good and great things in our lifes and focus on our goals.

Get the right things done by knowing what can be left undone. Train yourself to get into the zone and develop tunnel vision for high priority activities.

Focus on high yield activities. One of the highest is sharing a vision with your team. Communicate your vision to others by what you say but more by what you do.

Thanks for sharing John.

What do you want a Blueprint of?

What is it that you want to create or build?.

What is the end result for and what does it look like?

Setting down some clear goals and parameters is a great, and essential, starting place.

Is it for yourself or does it include your nearest and dearest? Is it for a new venture or a step-change for something you’re already doing? Is it for a primary or secondary income? Are there some other essential goals? What are your timescales and resources available?

From these and other top-level questions the Blueprint can start. Key elements are: where are you today, where do you want to be in the future, and how can we work together to help you to get there.

Sharing and working with others adds to the richness of the experience, and is a massive motivator along the way. And ultimately, working as part of a team contributes massively to the success at the end.
