NEXT LEVEL IN YOUR LIFE
O
ne thing is for sure: What worked to get
you to one level will not get you to the
next.
Every phase of your life will require a
different you, and regardless of where you
are at, you’ll have to change at least one thing (if not
multiple things) to catapult yourself to where you hope
to go personally and professionally.
HOW WILL YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS
TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
Start by acknowledging where you’re rocking it right
now. Personally, I’ve already got some great habits in
place.
I’m up by 6:15 most every morning. I keep my phone out
of the bedroom and spend those first minutes checking
in with my energy levels and setting goals for the day in
my journal. I exercise regularly and keep an eye on my
diet. Those habits helped me get to where I am now, but
it’s time to step it up.
Now, here are the seven steps you can take to get to the
next level:
1. CONSISTENCY
Yes, I’ve got some good habits, but I have to practice
them consistently. The same goes for my business
partner Mandy and the same goes for you.
"EVERY PHASE OF YOUR LIFE
WILL REQUIRE A DIFFERENT YOU,
AND REGARDLESS OF WHERE
YOU ARE AT, YOU’LL HAVE TO
CHANGE AT LEAST ONE THING
(IF NOT MULTIPLE THINGS) TO
CATAPULT YOURSELF TO WHERE
YOU HOPE TO GO PERSONALLY
AND PROFESSIONALLY."
In my case, I need to get consistent about sticking to
my good habits when I’m traveling or have particular
projects that shake up the routine. Sure, life happens,
but the more consistent we can be with positive habits,
the more likely we are to stick with them and reach next
level success.
What good habits do you have that you stick to 70
to 80 percent of the time? Where would being more
consistent about that behavior help you succeed?
2. BE A TOTAL HAWK ABOUT YOUR ACTIVITY
When my AD/HD takes over, I leave drawers open,
water running, coffee half poured, and find myself
folding laundry when five minutes before I was working
on a big project.
It’s not easy, but the more I can zone in on what I’m
doing, the more likely I will be to stay focused.
On these days, you’ll find me counting back 5-4-3-
2-1 often because that totally brings me back to the
moment.
