Welcome to "More Profit & More Time"

27 Steps To Your Best Quarter Ever

Welcome to "27 Steps To Your Best Quarter Ever".  Through my personal work over the past 30 – 45 days and through one on one client sessions and speaking engagements, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn, develop and share the following ideas, questions and actions that I will be sharing with you in the forthcoming weeks and months.

Today I am sharing the first 8 Steps, 6 of which I have already given you.

Please note that the "27 Steps To Your Best Quarter Ever" will provide you with value and some insight to The Leading Advisor Coaching Program.  If you are committed to making this Your Best Quarter Ever and want to work with a guaranteed sustainable system to revolutionize the way you do your business,  e-mail me at sreilly@leadingadvisor.com or call me at 604 688-1923.

I want to acknowledge my good friend and colleague, Pat Finucane for our discussions and for the wisdom that he has shared from his great depth of knowledge, spirit and experience.

Again, some of the ideas will refer back to other articles that I have written. To expand on the ideas, hyperlinks are provided so that you can access the supporting articles.  Some of the material is brand new.

This material will challenge you in a number of ways.  One of the challenges is that this will take commitment and time.  It will take time to print off the material, read it and implement it.  To get started now, just hit your print key and schedule the time to read this article.  Just move the cursor to the print icon at the top left hand side of your screen and CLICK IT.  Schedule the time to read this article “off screen”.  There, you have taken the first steps to making this Your Best Quarter Ever.

Cheers to you meeting and exceeding your goals for Your Best Quarter Ever and beyond.

I would love to hear your feedback, let me know what you think.

28 Steps To Your Best Quarter Ever

  1. Theme & Intention

  2. Vision

  3. Values

  4. Goals

  5. Projects & Actions

  6. Measures

  7. Time Blocking

  8. Are You Really Interested?

1.  Theme & Intention

Your first step is to create a Theme and Intention.  I’m taking the liberty to suggest, “My Best Quarter Ever”.   

Use this as a Vision Statement that you refer to during the day.  An affirmation if you will.

During the course of your day, ask yourself;

Is what I am doing right now taking the necessary action for “My Best Quarter Ever”?

What can I do now to make this “My Best Quarter Ever”?

2.  Vision
3.  Values
4.  Goals
5.  Project & Actions
6.  Measures
7.  Time Blocking & Prime Time

For Your Best Quarter Ever …

Do you have your written Vision, Values, Goals, Projects & Actions, Measures & Time Blocking?

In essence …

Do you have a Business Plan?

If the answer is no …

How is that working for you?

THEN AGAIN, DO NOT CLICK THE ABOVE LINK. 

If you DO NOT have your written Vision, Values, Goals, Projects & Actions, Measures & Time Blocking … perhaps something else is stopping you.

You know what you need to do to be successful.  If you are reading this e-newsletter you have read a book or two on the subject of success.

What is it that you are doing to be successful?

What is it that you are NOT doing to be successful?

How is that working for you?

Is that acceptable to you?

8.  Are You Really Interested?

When you are interested you do what is convenient. When you are committed you do what ever it takes.

 

Most people are only interested in living the life of their dreams.  They are not committed to doing what ever it takes.  Whether it is completing their planning, getting up early and staying late from time to time, they are just not committed

 

Here is an example of a person’s day that is interested in their success;

  • hitting the snooze button, then

  • blaming themselves for being late, then

  • not making the time to work out, then

  • not saying “I love you” to their loved ones, then

  • rushing to work in a state of adrenaline, then

  • blaming all the so called "slow drivers" along the way, then

  • again blaming themselves,  then

  • living in fear worrying about sales, making the payments, then

  • living in fear worrying about the economy, war, disease, then

  • arriving at work to a messy office, then

  • allowing themselves to be controlled by misdirected beliefs, then

  • believing they have no time, then

  • believing that they will never get it all done, then

  • believing that they are not good enough, then

  • believing that they are letting others down, then

  • believing that they are out of control, then

  • never getting it all done, then

  • having no plan for the day, then

  • being short with their support team because they believe they have no time, then

  • being short with their clients because they believe they no time, then

  • blaming others, then

  • allowing themselves to gossip about others, then

  • not eating the right food when they should, then

  • not planning for the next day, then

  • drinking alcohol to numb themselves out, then

  • turning on CNN to see who else is worse off  in the world, then

  • watching TV to numb themselves out even more, then

  • beating themselves up for another well deserved day, then

  • believing they are trapped, then

  • believing that it will never change, then

  • stressing while they are sleeping, then

  • hitting the snooze button, then...

They repeatedly try to take action based on the above list and this eventually becomes Who They Are.

How is that working for you?

Are you prepared to continue this way?

What would have to be different in your business and personal life to make sustainable changes to guarantee your success?
