Action Principles

Pick one to do this week:

  1. Allow consequences to happen. Look at areas where you may shield yourself or others from the consequences of choices. Allow those consequences to happen. ACTION: Write down why you should stop shielding someone (or yourself) to remind you when you're tempted to intervene.
  2. Prioritize your MVAs. Identify activities you're doing that don't matter as much and eliminate one of them to focus on more valuable things. ACTION: Pick one lower-value activity and commit to replacing it with something more valuable.
  3. Give back. As you succeed in your career, look for ways to do good and contribute to others' lives. ACTION: Choose an activity or person you want to help and schedule the first step to making it happen.
  4. Be honest. Be your own "chief truth teller" and strive for brutal honesty in your self-reflection. ACTION: Schedule time for reflection and evaluate your goals quarterly.
