Bonus After the Show Resources
Ready to heed your call? Get started with the following steps:
- Start the morning right: Make a commitment to spend the first 10 minutes of each morning silent and still. This will help clear your mind and set the tone for the rest of the day.
- Define your challenges: Sit down with a pen and paper and spend 30-60 minutes thinking about and writing down your personal and professional obstacles.
- Identify what you want: David says that we tend to identify what we want by expressing what we don’t want. Focusing on the negative, what you don’t want, instead of the positive, what you do want, holds you back. Flip the narrative and become certain of what you do want.
- Feel it: Close your eyes and picture what you want. Imagine that you already have it. Focus on how it makes you feel in your body. Do you feel energized? Creative? Light? Boundless? Write it down; journal about this feeling.
- Make the feeling a reality: If you want to feel energized and light, stop doing things that make you feel sluggish and bogged down. Eat healthier meals, start an exercise regimen, rearrange your desk so it faces the window. These small choices will lead you to align with what you want. If you don’t shift your personal choices, your business won’t shift.
- Meet your mentors and guides: None of us is designed to embark on our journey alone. Once you commit to what you want, now you enroll your mentors and guides to show you how to improve. If you vow to eat healthier, visit a nutritionist. As an entrepreneur, if you want to spend more time with customers, but you are bogged down by the finances, hire an accountant. You are on your way!
