It’s very likely that you’ll have a mix of high and low responses. What I’d like you to do next is make a list of things you want to accomplish, and the simple next steps to achieving those goals.  (Although we often tend to think of our challenges as all-absorbing, that’s rarely the case.) When you’re able to chunk it down – that is, break action steps into the tiniest imaginable pieces – you can tackle one baby step at a time.

In the case of a client who had a goal to start dating, this meant simply calling a woman he’d intended to ask out for a drink. Prior to the Clarify, Simplify, Execute process, he’d seen his desire to start dating as a huge goal, but suddenly he saw that it was one phone call, one date, and then he’d take it from there. It wasn’t as though he had to drop everything and figure out a strategy for meeting the woman of his dreams, settle down, get married, and have a family. It was just a cocktail date. He made the call, which immediately took his Significant Other score from 3 to 4. It was all much less pain and effort than he’d built up in his mind, as it will be for you.

ACTION STEP: So! Your assignment for THIS week is to choose your NEXT MOST IMPORTANT business and life change.  Choose which are your TOP priorities for change on your 1-10 Assessment Tool and then apply the CSE model and “Chunk” those down to 3 or 4 action steps that YOU CAN begin to implement right away.

I’d love to hear your responses.  You can send those to me through my Facebook Group Discussion on this topic at http://bit.ly/libbygillgroup – or you can post your comments on my blog at http://bit.ly/LibbysBlog

Joining us on this day is special guest Bill Jawitz, Law Firm Consultant and Executive Coach. We’ll be discussing invaluable time management techniques and the benefits of making planning a habit.

“Though you may have trouble believing it, you can learn how to handle the myriad factors that conspire to keep you from feeling in control of your time. You can learn to be much more productive and far less stressed.” Bill Jawitz

This powerful tool that I adapted from a classic Harvard Business School study will help you gain clarity about your vision for success. By projecting yourself one year ahead and then looking back on all your accomplishments, you’ll begin to breathe life into your personal and professional vision of the future.

Then, with support from members of the Accountability Club and me, you’ll start to “chunk down” your vision into Monthly Milestones backed by Game Changer action goals. And we’ll hold you accountable to your commitments.
Here’s what you do: Project yourself into the future, exactly one year from today. Fill out the following exercise from that perspective, looking back at all of your accomplishments of the past year.
