Quote: Have you yet discovered that your mind has limited space, and it's a terrible office? - David Allen

It has limited space, and it’s a terrible office

No, it’s not my office. Although, sometimes I do make this my office and it doesn’t work well for very long.

What has limited space and is a terrible office?

It’s your mind.

It comes from this quote:

It’s so important to have a place (or two, but not many more!) where you will collect your ideas and tasks.

When I started my business, keeping them in a notebook worked best for me. As my business grew, I kept a digital list. My business has now outgrown that and I’ve moved to an online task management system.

It doesn’t matter where you’re keeping your tasks and ideas, as long as it works for you.

And did you know that some people hire others to manage all of that for them? These people send them a short, manageable list every week or every couple of days of what they need to accomplish to stay on track, meet their goals, and bring their big ideas to life.

I remember hearing about it on an Amy Porterfield podcast and thinking, “I’d LOVE to do that!” And now that’s part of my offering!

Again, it doesn’t matter whether you’re managing all your moving pieces or someone else is, as long as you’re not trying to keep it all in your mind (where inevitably something falls through the cracks).

Quote: Have you envisioned wild success lately? - David Allen

What does wild success look like for you?

Last week I shared this quote on my Facebook Page:

Have you envisioned wild success lately? - David Allen

I was at a retreat last month with my business coach, where one thing became clear. Success looks different for the different people in the room. And that’s WONDERFUL.

Some people want to speak on BIG stages, while others prefer staying behind the scenes. Everyone has big dreams. They all just look a little different. One way isn’t “better” than the other.

Each version of wild success has two things in common: it requires clear intention and action.

Knowing all the steps isn’t required, but knowing what you want to accomplish over the next couple of months is essential.

So, what does wild success look like for you? And what’s your plan over the next couple of months to bring you there or closer to it?

I’d love to know!

What’s your plan to end the year strong?

I don’t know about you, but this year has seemed to go by incredibly quickly for me!

I can hardly believe we’re already in the last quarter of the year.

Many business owners are looking at their goals for the year and determining what they need to do to meet them.

How about you? What’s your plan to end the year strong? What actions will you be taking?

If you don’t have a clear plan that includes your action steps, set some time aside this week and create it!

In the words of Philip DeFranco, “It’s never too late and it’s rarely too soon to try to achieve your goals.”

Here’s to a wonderful Fourth Quarter!
