Use the 3 Steps of AWE to Accomplish ANYTHING!

Have you ever wanted a concrete strategy to create change?  A path you could follow daily that was guaranteed to keep you moving forward to accomplishing your goals?  If so – keep reading!!!!

Follow these 3 steps of A.W.E. each day – and success is yours!

Step #1 – Awareness

Where are you and where do you want to be? Sometimes we can jump in trying to solve a symptom of the problem, not the actual problem.  We are looking for the “quick fix”, the “magic formula”, the “save 10 minutes a day” approach.  When in actuality, because we are not addressing the actual problem, the root, we can solve a symptom and a new one will pop right up.

For example, one strategy to reduce lateness is to set the clocks ahead 10 minutes in the house, the car, and the office.  However, the REASON you may be late is because your schedule is jam-packed, filled-to-the-gills full.  It doesn’t matter how much you set your clocks ahead if you have too much to do each day.

Spend some time thinking about these questions . . .

• What do you want to change?
• What have you tried before?
• What is standing in your way?
• What are you willing to do?
• What are you willing to give-up?
• What resources do you need?
• What is working in your life?
• What isn’t working?
• If you could have anything – what do you want?
• If you could do anything – what would it be?

Step #2 – Work with Focused Action and Accountability

Action steps – create a plan! What will you do today to start on the path of making this change?  A goal without a plan is just a dream.  To move forward and create change we actually need to work.  I don’t advocate working HARD, I advocate working DILIGENTLY.  Master your schedule – learn time saving techniques and strategies.  Create a solid and do-able plan with daily action steps.

• What are the absolute smallest steps you can take each day?
• Delegate?
• Delete activities?
• Create a power hour?
• Network?
• Turn off the TV?
• Practice self-care?
• Meditate?
• Exercise?
• Contact a coach?

STEP #3 – Evaluation

Examine your plan – and your steps to completion.   This is the time to really fine-tune your processes and procedures.  Maybe you need to adjust your goal.  Maybe you need to adjust your action steps.  The greatest learning is in “the debrief”.

• What worked?
• What can work even better?
• What can you adjust?
• How will you need to fine tune your plan?

Follow these steps daily to accomplish a goal, create a habit, and live the life of your dreams.
