FLASHPOINTS

The end of the week is the best time to plan for the coming week. And at this point, you’ve reviewed the previous week and can be prepared to make changes and take actions based on thought not reaction. You want to keep your goals in mind always. So today is your opportunity to look at yesterday’s Weekly Reflection and decide what you’re going to do and when. It is most often small tweaks that will lead to great success, fueled by a positive and grateful attitude.

After five days of prompting and prodding new ideas and thoughts to come to mind, today we review what we’ve discovered. It’s time to take a peek back at our journaling, to review our thoughts, feelings, and action items; and see how well we did. After all, self-awareness is the key to initiate growth and realize lasting change.

When we’re under pressure—when life and business seems to be swirling around us and everything seems to be happening at once—chances are, our desk or work area is looking disheveled, too. Working in a disorganized space can affect our ability to concentrate and reduce productivity. Let’s try this: before we head home each day, we clear and organize our workspaces. We create a neat pile of any paperwork needed in the morning, file away anything possible, and get rid of any rubbish. When we arrive in the morning, even though we know we’ve got a lot to get through, it will be that much easier to start fresh, and we’ll physically be able to focus on one task at a time. Look around you now, what’s your workspace look like?

What may start out as us taking on an early leadership role to avoid the mundane, 9-to-5 job of achieving someone else’s dreams can sometimes lead to questioning who we are and why we’re working so hard! Aren’t “leadership” roles supposed to be easier than “worker” roles? Hell, no! Real leaders share the burden with their team when it gets too heavy, keeping their team focused by ensuring they are properly prepared to handle the heat, stress and unfair realities of everyday life. We step into the leadership gap because we want to make a positive difference. Leadership comes with the high price of determination, dedication and responsibility. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Are you going to step up, or should you step out?

As leaders, we set the standards of excellence for our organizations, accepting the duty to provide, protect and nurture our teams. When was your last reality check on whether you’re actually walking your own talk regarding these key responsibilities? Take a deep breath and reflect on the expectations you have of others. Now, reflect on your own behaviors. Do you keep people waiting, miss important deadlines, fail to fulfill promises, breach your own integrity standards, or show bad sportsmanship? Reality bites, doesn’t it? Yes, you’re the leader. Sure, you may work harder and longer. Heck no, you’re not exempt from your own Code of Conduct nor the behaviors you expect from your own teammates. How will you ensure your own actions meet the standards you expect of others?

After five days of prompting and prodding new ideas and thoughts to come to mind, today we review what we’ve discovered. It’s time to take a peek back at our journaling, to review our thoughts, feelings, and action items; and see how well we did. After all, self-awareness is the key to initiate growth and realize lasting change.

The people we spend the most time with will have either a positive or a negative impact on our projects, businesses, and relationships. Knowing this, if we truly aspire to achieve great things, shouldn’t we surround ourselves with great people who have traveled the path before us? Sure, there are times when we need to be the mentor, pouring ourselves into others around us; but that can’t be the bulk of our time. The fastest way to shorten our learning curve, expand our capacity, increase our sphere of influence, and move toward significance, is to surround ourselves with those who see greatness in us. It may sound harsh, but it’s time to take inventory of our friends and influencers. Who are your most significant daily influencers? Why?

The best “to-do” list doesn’t have actions on it for very long because, ideally, we set goals and get each task done, making way for new action items. That love/hate relationship we often have with our to-do list has a lot to do with our own procrastination. If that sounds familiar, it’s time to clean it up! If you have difficulty getting pressing tasks completed, be honest with yourself about why. The fact is, when we avoid completing important tasks and tell ourselves “it’s not the best use of my time,” it’s probably because the task is outside our area of strength, or we’re simply not passionate about it. Next time, move those kinds of items to your “to-don’t” list. What to-do items can you delete, defer or delegate?

When it comes to opportunity, it’s rarely just a matter of good fortune. Not often can we say it was simply meant to be. And only on occasion can we attribute it to being in the right place at the right time. Usually, opportunity comes from serving others first, generating positive wordof- mouth, expanding our spheres of influence, creating our own opportunities from nothing and working hard to achieve excellence in every piece of work on which we put our name. Building on our credibility, serving others and demonstrating results will get us there. Where will your next opportunity come from?

It’s likely we’ve built up quite a rapport with those key people in our organization (and life) who have been around since the early days. They tend to sacrifice on our behalf, stand arm-inarm with us when facing challenges, and become reliable leaders, advisors, and confidants. But, could the environment and relationship be getting a little stale for them? If we don’t afford these people our trust, offer them our love, and provide the freedom and resources to improve their station, systems and performance, how will we ever fully honor and respect them? We must make it a priority to engage with long-term loyalists to make sure they aren’t getting stale. What do you need to do to revitalize your loyalists?

Overcoming obstacles is a lifelong activity for true leaders and achievers. Fear can be the biggest hurdle keeping us from achieving our fullest potential and living a life of significance. But it’s scary out there, and we’re all afraid of something, right? And isn’t it safer on this side of the obstacle? Okay, STOP! Don’t use “safe” as an excuse not to push through fear. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and catch a glimpse of the good life that’s just on the other side of the obstacle. Focus on life after the fear; life where we can achieve everything we want, where we can be ourselves, free from the paralyzing influence of fear. Are you ready? Kick that barrier down! What do you see on the other side?
