you welcome to another episode in the life to point out shell and today we're talking about two thousand and nineteen already oh here it's here yet this i think is going to be a great show for our viewers who come to have an idea about what they want to do come twenty nineteen but need to have a format yeah like i  business person can use this but the same thought process and the same step by step detail of her would go for somebody that's not sure what they're planning because after they have gone through your your course there are many course what actually figuring out what it is they want to do they really need to put in the action plan and it's a way to think about how do i segment this i'm to to help them think but i think it's a great way to just yeah ready for twenty nine t right right is how to you know how to make twenty nineteen a breakthrough year in your business or in your life really so one of the things that excite that that i find is very helpful is to think about your year in quarterlies chunk right so what can i what how can i break up my year into quarter so there is a five step plan that i that i use to actually are go through and think through this process so lex slide it's like what is this plan all about so you brainstorm your four projects now it doesn't mean that you're only going to do for projects however if those projects take a little bit of time to actually do because if you're creating  a product if you're creating some a class an online courses are an event or something it takes a lot of planning and it takes a lot of doing right right and to be something like even if you got your next of someone who has a business maybe and they want to take it to the next level so i mean as you were going through this we were talking i mean there were definitely things that i know that were good things for me to think about and act upon for my next step heredia correct yeah so once you brainstorm what those four projects would be obviously you have a bigger goal that this year i really want to do x y and z right we're breaking it down ok quarter won i really need to get this accomplished so for example for myself in quarter one because you know people are just getting back from the holidays it's a little slow that's the time for me to build another onboarding sequence so when somebody signs up i want to nurture them and give them some sort of some sort of  training as to you know we have different topics most of my topics build on building and growing a business and strategic planning so what does that sequence look like so i want to build that out and automate well so i don't have to remember all my goals then yeah yeah yeah if i go to a networking reading i just gotta remember to do this remember to write it so that first part of the years a great time to actually do that or maybe you want to reate  you know so so start thinking about what are all you know those things what are the four projects because as the famous saying goes on the next slide if you fail to plan you're planning to fail yes i think everybody so you have project one in first quarter so first quarter has three three months right so it's thirty days sixty days ninety days so pick one project for quarter one and then create a detail list sort of like a brain dump ok on you know i want to do this and this is all the things that has to happen now if there's something else that comes into play because your brain you're just doing a brain dump you'll see that it doesn't belong here it might belong to the next project i just read a pull it out but it over there and create some sort of checklist so this is my monthly check every month i need to make sure that i do x y and z right and now in the workshop that's a little bit more detail that takes this to the next step to actually doing we break it out very very step by step so you can brainstorm and then you can get feedback from the group of us as well then you need to figure out well if i have this monthly activity that i need to get done what is what is the weekly things that i need to do to  building up to the things so it might be you know i need to go to networking meeting this week or i need to reach out to the people that i network ratings or something so be very specific on on those particular things and then the next slide actually one after that the one next flight after that we missed that one but ok so now we break that down further to the daily ok activity now it does not mean that eight hours a day you're doing that you're doing this that's ok because that's not the only part of your life and it's not really right in an area with a do it easer projects to move you forward take take you to the next level to take you to your next step so maybe it's waking up a little bit earlier and creating that extra hour to do x y or z and daily activities i like to think about them in a couple of different buckets like what are my opportunity what connection should i be making and then how am i going to like what is the task to make that happen at those her you know what are those tasks if i if i have  opportunities that i want to explore there is something that i talk about called a dream one hundred a dream one hundred is if i have if i can put down one hundred people clients or businesses  really want to reach out to right if i have that list i sorta have a targeted mission right how can i reach out to him now and not everybody is going to say yes or whatever right but how can i reach out to them but how can i offer to help them first before because i may not even know that i may say i want to reach out to x y and z and i want to help them do blah blah blah but they may already have that but i could still connect with that right so we go into depth in the workshop with the dream one hundred list and connections and different things like that but that's how we would break it out once we build this whole plan when you can do it something comes up you know how you can move something either backward or forward right or take it off you know take it off the list so now with the calendar the first thing you do with the calendar which i'm sure everybody knows but i'm sorry it's again all the important dates need to be in there and the important dates being all the holiday is all the days that you already have commitments to do something your children your your  family you know you're going on vacation whatever those days dates should be first in like alan or right so those are already marked off and then you start building your project dates in there and you build in your personal days because that's really important that's like number five which is next slide that's your calendar yeah don't forget to get a large one so you can actually put it up on the wall or whatever so you can actually see sometimes you get focused so i just want to make people who are sometimes you get so focused on that whole month thinking yes that you lose sight of day to day yeah and that's really important not to lose sight of day to day so just be a little bit mindful that you know that whole month is a means to an end it's for your project understand you know that you've got to focus on the day to day yes because the day to day like i said this whole project is not consuming this these projects that out that i'm focusing on is project to move you to the your next level you know so your day to day activities you still have to you know me go run errands do whatever you have to do so don't forget to build in a personal day you know every however however that works when you could like couple i mean it could be a couple worries yeah you have lunch by yourself you know goes have a cup of coffee yeah read a book or whatever and just your time to kind of give yourself a break a mental  know go see a movie like there are different types of personal time and that comes back to the life we live as well because you know you're vironment your friends and your support group is very important and you need to spend time with them right  need to make time to actually do that so why should you build a plan i think everybody knows they should build a plan but i'm not sure everybody has the only plan everybody knows they should but not even though that's when most people do their plan it's really nice if you could do it ahead of time so january you hit the ground running you because i think you know you think about people who join the gym in january or february it's done yet but but the thing because you know you didn't have a plan joining the gym was not really to the truth of the plan truth of the plan was probably i want to be healthier right right should have been like thinking all the things you throughout the year right going to make your healthier right so so that's why i like to do the plan ahead of time before the holidays so that way i feel that it's like a sixty ninety days which is going to be your first project each thirty days you want to make sure that you move the needle forward a little bit you know what is that what does that look like ok you know so you can write it down a whatever whatever that looks like and then the timeline it's really important to if you're going to make this successful ok you know make a list of all the activities like we mentioned the weekly daily the monthly  and then on the next slide one of the things that that i learned a little while back i was i call that really makes a lot of sense because when we do something we always say it worked or it didn't work it's like a binary choice but it's really not a binary choice right so define for yourself what and i look at the business part of it as three layers of success three levels of it so if i accomplish a b and c i had moderate success so i still succeeded well if i writing down low success criteria for yourself like what's going to make you feel good about that is really important it's really important because that's what keeps your momentum your motivation it keeps you going that oh i didn't get six e mails done in my sequence but at least i got to write you know and then where it says what you should do that's you know whatever it is and these are just examples that i put in here so it might be sitting down or writing to me it was i don't know but whatever whatever project you're working on and so on the next slide it's you know making this action plan like so in the first month sometimes now these will vary not every month will be the same because you're at different stages in different projects so this is just a guy like in in sixty days you know i want to make sure that my action plan is don and i'm i'm working my plan but i'm just saying to think about it in compartments of thirty days you know it's a little bit easier than low i got the whole year you know the whole year right will make a fool of because i remember thinking  work i used to think of this it's called a swiss cheese effect i think about taking in little bits and pieces you know that in you get the whole thing done but it's just making it more manageable and just no know you so first rate oh i have to do all of this but i did this part this part this part and then chile everything's done yeah but the and the other time is really is really the time because one of the things that i saying to myself this year is say where did two thousand eight hundred go in right and it you get so caught up with life that the things that move you forward regardless of which area it is a good want to do i somehow yeah does that happen to all of us but i keep saying to myself ok don't get frustrated i think how we made it a little bit more manageable for me for this year was that i said ok you know what this probably was your year to really relax and take some of the stress or through there were certain stresses i had to do because it jane has had yeah but the stress of i had to do right and that just search you up for saying you know what even though they were priority i found time to just say i just need to relax and not more always be doing something yeah the time yeah so kind of like not beat yourself up right exactly exactly so then you know next five or so one of the things that i kind of wanted to emphasize with this with your quarterly things and just try to make whatever you're creating scalable or re usable you know like how if i'm doing if i'm creating a mini class like what is the next step what would they need to know next how can i take this as a base you know one a one and make it you know the next thing the next things or suite of products that they all related i gather that you don't have to recreate from scratch everything or your templates with your e mails or your newsletters or you know whatever it is you're creating how can i use that again right because or how can i you know make sure i have less certain cut and paste a writer what exactly and then the next is really understanding the purpose of the project right what is it that i want to accomplish and then what has to be true when i accomplish not so if i say i want to do my onboarding sequence and my final i would have to say that ok if somebody signs up then i should trigger a sequence automatic only for x number of days where i do this but specific thing right then that means that that has to be true when my three months is finished right then i know ok i've got a project you know and everybody would have different like we said differences and criteria right and then why is it important if you ask yourself some of these questions i think it helps you stay more motivated like what is the biggest difference that that particular project is going to make in your life and the life of those you're for right now and then why why do you want to do you know why do you want to make that difference right and then they like i said the ideal outcome what is that project signature program and again next next fight we can't stress this enough is that if you fail to plan you're planning to fail you know the planning might be useless in the end but planning  different you know make career changes or whatever right you need to plan for absolutely absolutely and the next slide is we're inviting you to join us on december twelfth right here in princeton for this it's a half day workshop and when you sign up you actually get a free download that can start you thinking about these things and in the workshop will actually go more into detail actually building out ok the entire thing identifying your project ok but this is like the free action plan you know you can take that and actually just do your own thing or you can come to the the workshop and it is sabrina t dot my job e dot com slash p l slash five two zero one eight will put that link because it's a long one ok the link to get more information and yeah yeah get more information and sign up for a download and then once you sign up for the download will kick off some some more information on you know where and what ok this seminar is all about yeah so that's that's our planning for two thousand and nine and nine slow it's about  art as we always say that that next sec that next step in your journey so once you know what do you accomplish it so the actual plan is a great way to help you to accomplish what you know you want to do yes yeah in the mind is one thing right taking right that's the right reality yeah it's what's important and this is a great way to write our viewers start to take that right right and you know in the summer are we sort of celebrate what opportunities because what everybody else there you can ask them hey you know this is what i'm doing this would not make yeah yeah yeah you know if you a couple of people are kind of the people that you know if it's a business that you really want to be well that's a great way to example if if somebody has a weapon our aura or something like how can how can you help them promote it how can they be a guest how can you help each other because as individuals or a small businesses we need to help each other because we don't have a brick corporation that has a marketing department at this department the bad economy what burgon express to small business day yeah getting people t local businesses it's the same with you know all business it is we have to support each other and people around us showed how you know think about us as the services we provide as well to help us stay you know because that's where we're not sort of we can all be amazons or we can all be you know wal mart or whatever so well that's a hard yeah we are small businesses right now and just helping each other but
