- So, for the last couple weeks
been talking about intentionality
and since we're coming into the year end,
let's get intentional about your upcoming years.
In any type of planning process,
even in terms of unintentional processes,
becoming intentional, there's really two ways
to look at this.
There's two ways to come about it,
and one is top down,
the other is bottom up.
By top down, I mean, that's where you get the vision
where you start off with this big picture vision.
Maybe it's, think of it like a top of a triangle.
Here's where you got this triangle
and you have this vision
and it could be for a work project,
it could be for,
it could be for anything.
But, you have this vision for what the outcome looks like
and then you start to drill down
and you start to look, okay,
what do all the sub-pieces look like?
What are all the parts of that project?
And what are all the things that need
to happen to drive that vision?
That's top down and a lot of people
like to think that way.
A lot of people more are bottom up
and that's where you think of all the separate
components and then you take
those components and work on those components
and then you start to move up into
whatever that vision is.
And I'm actually a fan of both of them.
In fact, I think, not, well, here,
I'm gonna brag a little bit.
I think a lot of my success
comes from my ability to look at both.
To go top down and bottom up
in every area of my life.
When we think about this;
I've been talking about intentionality
and one of the ways when I come
into the end of the year is
I like to do some planning.
I like to plan what my life is gonna look like
and I start off really big picture.
I'll look at each area of my life
and if you think about:
here in the marketing world
and this thought leader world,
there's three big markets, right?
There's, there's money, there's health,
and there's relationship.
But, those three big things
exist in all of our lives.
So, I look at my life in
those three areas, but then I split them down.
So, in health, there's mental health,
there's physical health, there's spiritual health.
In money, there is your money,
your investments, how you're managing your money.
There's also income; so there's income
and there's assets and then there's your career
that's all tied into money.
And in relationships,
it is your relationship with:
your friends, your community,
your family, your love relationship,
parenting; well, those are all relationships.
So I like get into look at all these areas of my life
and usually there's
six or seven or eight areas I define.
Maybe there's up to 10 or 12,
and they can vary over year-to-year.
But I'll look at each area
and I'll create a vision for each area,
and that's that top down.
I create a vision for each area
and I'll do a little review of each area
because I think the value,
much of the value of this process
is in the debrief.
It's looking back at what you did
for the prior year. And said,
"Where am I right now?
"What worked from the prior year?
"What do I need to do differently?
"What didn't work last year?"
and "What do I want more of this year?"
I'll create a vision for each one
of those areas and then,
from that vision, then I'll start to create
either goals or, or things I'm striving for.
Say you have eight areas.
Say you have your physical health,
your mental health, your spiritual health,
your money, your career, your parenting,
your love relationship, and your friendships.
So there's eight areas.
If you create a vision for each of those areas,
well, what I'm doing is I'm defining a lot of
work for you, and I'm sorry for that,
but this is how you intentionally
create an amazing life.
And it doesn't have to be huge.
It could be a sentence or two.
But, I literally, I'll take days doing this.
I'll take several days at the end of the year.
This time of year, doing this,
defining what my vision is.
And then I work down from there into goals.
You end up, if you have eight areas,
you might end up with 30 or 40 goals.
The only problem with that is it's
hard to go after 30 or 40 goals.
So then I try to narrow it down and say,
what are the really big ones?
What are the really big ones?
This is all top down.
But, I also like to go bottom up
and I like to say, "What is the number one
or the number two or the number three
things I need to do
on a daily basis or a weekly basis?
"What are the things I need to
put into my calendar every day
or I need to put in my calendar every week
to drive the overall vision
for the overall life?"
That's, that's bottom up.
Next week, I'm going to talk about
what I think is the cornerstone
practice or the cornerstone habit
that makes all of this work.
In fact, for the next two weeks
I'm gonna talk about probably the two,
the two cornerstone habits
that I think makes all this work.
But right now I would invite you,
instead of coming up with some resolutions.
I hate that word,
because that idea like, I resolve.
That's, that's resolution; that word
comes from the word resolve.
I resolve to do something this year
and then by the second week of January
you've forgotten what you've resolved to do.
Instead, what I like to do is I create
this amazing compelling vision.
Intentionally create that vision
for what your life is gonna look like
in this coming year,
in the coming five years,
in the coming 25 years.
Create that vision
and then use that vision
to drive your entire year.
Use that vision to, to drive your life.
I mean, the reality is that,
is what we're talking about is behavior change
and behavior change is really hard.
There's nothing easy about behavior change.
It's a lot easier to just keep on doing
what we've been doing.
But if you can sit down and create that vision....
This is big work.
It's not easy work.
I'm shooting this little short video
and I'm making it sound easy.
It's not. It's not easy.
It's not simple, and your life doesn't change overnight.
But, you know what, your life can change overnight.
All it takes is that strong vision
and really becoming invested in that vision
and seeing what you can create in this coming year.
So, I'm Jeff Walker; wherever you're watching this,
scroll down, leave a comment for me,
tell me about your number one intention for the year
and let's go them 'em this week.
