Action Principles 

Pick one to do this week: 

1. Create your bus moment.  Deciding what you do NOT want to do is just as powerful as knowing what you DO want to do.  ACTION: Ask yourself, “What is something I don’t want in life?” Write it down in your vision.
2. Outsource tasks. Growth requires knowing when to delegate tasks better suited for someone else. You’ll have more time to focus on your MVAs when you do. ACTION: Outsource a task that’s not your strength to a professional.
3. Support a cause. Finding an external purpose to support can give your work more meaning, which boosts motivation and productivity. ACTION: Pick a charity to support that fits your values.
4. Make time for fun. Prioritizing fun in your life will keep you motivated and refreshed at work. ACTION: Schedule a recurring time in your calendar to enjoy your favorite hobby.
