Something Wasn't Right

Aaron shares a story by Sean Coen in the story grid about a lady on the 96th floor during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks who could feel a heat wave kind of come through the glass. She knew something wasn't right so she grabbed one of her co-workers and headed toward the exit. The co-worker decided that she needed to go back and get the pictures of her children and family. That was her fatal mistake because as she went back, the second tower was hit by another airplane and everyone on that floor lost their life.

Take Action … Next Steps from the Show

So that is Today's Challenge: I want you to reflect right after this episode and generate a list of things you know you have been putting off. Don't evaluate why you have been putting these things off, just identify those tasks. If you can get them done in 5 minutes or less, do them right away. If they'll take a bit longer to execute. Put a plan in place. Establish a date when you will knock out those items.

And did you know that you are much more likely to accomplish those tasks that you tell people about in public? Don't keep your to-do list a secret. Send a tweet to me @alien … and Aaron @VFTCoach
