Part 5

“The last phase is to integrate.

This last element is where you create a seamless integration of the previous 4 steps, where when you set your intention to accomplish something, you no longer have to wonder about what step to take first, where you jump in with both feet, make decisions and take actions like a true leader.

This is where you hold yourself accountable for your own well-being. And you have the wisdom enough to recognize where you could use guidance from others, perhaps even a coach.

This is also where you realize that it’s okay to fake it ’till you make it. And don’t just fake it until you make it, fake it until you become it.

They say “practice makes perfect”. I prefer to simply say that practice makes you better at whatever you’re practicing. Continue Reading…

“The next part is what I’ll call “Flow”.

By flow I mean go with the flow, and to adapt to evolving situations.

So far now we’ve gotten clear, done some research, taken actions – and what always happens next? Challenges and obstacles will present themselves to you in one form or another.

Some people get discouraged at this point. I suggest that since you know there will be challenges ahead, get ready to meet them.

Whenever we embark on a new venture there will always be people at our lives who are naysayers. Sometimes these will be people that we trust who under the guise of giving you advice will actually be giving you discouragement. And then sometimes our challenges will be financial or technological.

This phase of our growth is where we learn to ignore the naysayers, discern the difference between good advice and pessimism, And to continue forward because we know our goals are worthy.

Again, it might not be easy. So when it’s useful for you, you could think about that person who is great about being slippery when getting out of touch situations, who is skilled at avoiding obstacles, who is calm and composed in the middle of the seeming noise and chaos that others will try to create when we are on the path of achieving goals.

And importantly, as you avoid these challenges, you have a demeanor capable of recognizing friends and allies.”

Part 3

“Next is stage is to Connect

This is where you Take action. I understand, you’ve probably heard that 1000 times. But the reason for that is because it’s consistently true. One of the best ways that I find to really get fired up and to feel good about my plans is to actually take action, any action, big or small.

At this point you know your goals are clear, you’ve already thought about possible ways of accomplishing your goals, So what better way is there to continue but to make some progress of any kind and to get that momentum going.

And again, who can you think of in your experience, real or fictional, that is a master of taking action quickly and decisively? Perhaps that person is even you… In any case, embody those positive qualities of a leader ready to take action based on clear goals and good research

So whether it’s just putting up a new website, starting a business, doing something positive for your close relationships, Actually do something positive right now that you can feel proud of.”
