Face Your Giants

We are less than a week away from beginning a new season, season four, which we call the “Holiday Season”. It’s a time when it is easy to get lost in a mountain of activity and social responsibilities. It is also a time for celebration as we focus on spending time with our families and loved ones, and honoring our most sacred beliefs and customs. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Counting today, you still have six days to complete season three. Over the next few days, simply focus on what needs to be completed this season. You’ll start a new season shortly but for now just focus on finishing what you’ve started. Go back to the goals you set for yourself in July, the goals that YOU said were important. Give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished. Take some time to celebrate. If there are unmet goals, do what you can do to reach them and declare them complete. If you failed to accomplish your goal, ask yourself how important that particular goal is to you at this point. It may have seemed very important a few months ago but priorities change. It may be time to let it go but don't be too quick to let yourself off the hook. It's your life that is at stake here.

I’d like to leave you with one final thought: “Leave it on the field”. I heard that phrase on a Compass call this past week. Compass held a national training event last weekend at which time they showed a clip from the movie, “Facing the Giants”. Although I was unable to attend, I watched the clip and I was moved to the core. We each have the power to amaze ourselves and others with what we are capable of accomplishing. We inspire others when we take the lead to live an authentically accomplished life; a life in which we focus our strengths and talents for a purpose. Life is worth giving everything you’ve got. I ask you to leave nothing on the field this season.

"Take 10" and Win Your Season!

September is the final month in season three at SweetVictories.com. What does this mean? It means that YOU still have 12 days to follow-up and win your season. Walk into any store in the country and you will be reminded of the upcoming holiday season. In October I’ll be asking you to set your personal and professional goals for season four, our final season in 2009. But before you get caught up in the hustle and bustle of a new season, stay focused on finishing September strong. As you tackle your unfinished projects and to-do list, remember, you are making room for a new season. Are you excited? I am!

If you need further support, I am here. Through September 30th I will be offering “Take 10” coaching sessions. I want YOU to win your season.

These “Take 10” sessions will cost you only $10.00. These calls last 10 minutes and are designed to provide the support and accountability needed to help you complete your goals and win your season. You will simply dial into my coaching line and together we will focus on what you need to do to win your season. Click here for more information.

Take Another Step Forward

It’s a windy Follow-up Friday here in Southern Colorado. I spent some time in the mountains this past week and noticed that many of the Aspen leaves have already turned to gold. With each Follow-up Friday, we get a week closer to a new season, and you have a choice to take another step toward reaching your important goals. Take some time today to evaluate where you are on your path. Are you satisfied with where you are? Are you happy with your progress? Are you doing all you can do each and everyday? Face yourself in the mirror and ask for the truth. Whether you are satisfied or disappointed with your progress, just remember that today you can choose to take another step forward.

What Are You Postponing?

Today I want to talk about postponement. What are you putting off in your life? I often postpone things until I feel like I have my life in order. Not a bad thing in theory, but do we ever have everything in order? Today is follow-up Friday and I want to remind you that you can get on the path to experiencing more balance, fulfillment and joy, and you can do it now.

Kim Fulcher, founder of My Life Compass, wrote in her book, Remodel Your Reality (which I highly recommend), “a balanced life is, in essence, a designed life.” September is the perfect month to join Compass and start designing your life. Through the Compass MAP (monthly action plan) you will Design Your Life with My Life Compass founder Kim Fulcher. For as little as $19.00 a month for Basic Membership, you can get started today (there is a one-time set up fee of $20.00). You also have the option to join a coaching group and work with me or a Compass Coach of your choosing 2-3 times per month over the phone.

Whether you choose My Life Compass or other structure, the important thing is to make a decision and then follow-up.
