你参加“一个字挑战”了吗? 你有2021年的关键词吗? 你知道我说的“一个词”是什么意思吗? 如果没有，也没关系. 我也是去年才知道的. 当我开始创业的时候, I joined a mastermind group as a way of forcing accountability 和 structure into the business formation process. Mastermind groups offer a combination of support, 推荐, 培训, 和 peer accountability in a group setting to sharpen one’s business 和 personal goals. My group is a collective of business owners 和 executives who meet every two weeks to discuss top of mind issues in our businesses, network with each other 和 complete a train the brain segment where the facilitator trains the members of how to become better business owners. The one word concept was introduced to me during one of the 培训s. The 挑战 asks that we consider trading in our long list of New Year’s Resolutions that we won’t remember a few weeks from now anyway, 和 instead choose ONE WORD as an anchor to focus on every day of the year that will sum up who we want to be or how we want to live throughout that year.
2020年改变我生活的一个词
To find our one word, our Master Mind facilitator encourages us to read 和 reread the book: 一个会改变你生活的词等着你的话来找你. 我在2021年想到的一个词是“服从”. 作为一个新企业主, I wanted to focus less on my intellectual side which had been perfectly honed for being an employee the past 20 years, 更靠我的直觉. My goal was to leverage the word “OBEDIENCE” to explore the concept of being a business owner, 这在去年给了我很大的帮助. 作为服从的结果, I fully embraced myself as a business owner 和 sought out to find opportunities for business expansion, 开始我的播客, started this blog…和 generally said “Yes” to opportunities as they were presented, 而不是想太多. As a result, I had a much more fulfilling year last year, than any other year in the recent past. As much as 2020 was a year of turmoil for most of us, it was still very much a year of triumph for me in many areas, 无论是个人还是职业. And I attribute this to the simple act of OBEYING my instincts.
我2021年的一个词
今年我的词是纪律. Discipline In the sense of imposing process, 严格, 订单, 和 continuous refinement into one’s behavior or approach towards anything you undertake. Finding my word took a little longer this year as I oscillated between the words “Flow”, “遗产”, 还有几个星期的"纪律. I decided to settle on DISCIPLINE, as it ultimately resonated loudly with me. 当然, 纪律 in its proper application will inevitably enable one to find flow 和 contribute to developing one’s legacy.
最近怎么样??
We are only a week into 2021, 和 I’m convinced the right word indeed found me this year. The need for more 纪律 和 严格 is something I’m seeing in every area of my life now, 和 therefore following suit to instil the appropriate level of 纪律. Here are the number of ways 纪律 is showing up so far:
- 日常工作: 作为一个企业主, one can easily get pulled into many different directions where one expends time 和 energy on low value activities that end up distracting more than helping. So having a 纪律d schedule is forcing me to prioritize how 和 where I spend my time, as well as tracking the return on investment on the time.
- 希斯: I am choosing to prioritize my health through daily exercise, 更好的饮食, 和 adding supplements to improve my immune system 和 overall health.
- 业务流程: My goal for the business this year is to create a list of all my business processes, document the steps involved in each process, 和 leverage technology to automate manual activities where possible.
- 客户: 作为顾问, I’m sharing best practices relating to business operations with my clients on an ongoing basis so that they may infuse some 纪律 into their businesses as well.
现在还在年初, 和 I can already see the rewards of my word, 纪律, paying off through expansion in many areas. I am also experiencing less stress 和 feel more in control of my business 和 life. 我迫不及待想要一个词的魔力!
