Are you focused on things you actually have 100% control over

Published 18 days ago • 1 min read

Reader,

We are 58 days to the end of 2024.

How has 2024 been?

2024 has gone FAST for me.

Some highlights:

  • Turned 50
  • Doubled my LinkedIn followers in the 2nd half
  • Spoke to more women on Zoom than ever before
  • Celebrated Sir Lewis Hamilton winning at Silverstone
  • Hearing the announcement of yet another acquisition at work

Here are my goals for the rest of 2024:

  • Re-introducing my weekly solo podcast episodes (I stopped this in 2023 - you'll hear more about it in tomorrow's email).
  • Invite more women to experience MAP for free.
  • Focus the rest of 2024 on input goals - daily activities that get you to your outcome goals (more about this below).

What are yours?

It's easy to set goals.

Much harder to execute them consistently.

Here's why most people never achieve their goals.

They fixate on their outcome goals, like:

  • The $10k they want to make each month
  • The business they want to have
  • The clients they want to sign

What they don't realize is, these outcome goals are dependent on their input goals which they have 100% control over, like:

  • What they're doing to book more sales calls
  • How often they're inviting people to work with them
  • Doing things that actually grow their business (i.e. make revenue) vs doing things that aren't (i.e. building a course/website that hasn't been market-tested).

Plus a bunch of other factors they have 0% control over, like:

  • The economy
  • The US election
  • If people like you or not

...etc.

Are you focused on the input goals you have 100% control over?

Or are you worrying more about the other factors you have 0% control over?

Get clear on what's truly important to you, your business, and your life.

Then make the remaining 58 days all about that!

Talk to you again tomorrow (about the podcast - can't wait).

Reader, This week was a busy one and I didn't have as much time as I'd like to work on my business. On the upside, I got to: Celebrate my daughter's O level graduation (plus watch her bag multiple awards (again!) and witness my baby girl attend her first prom! Cheer my son in his first ever karting race (I'm writing this while waiting for first round of qualifying) Collect our passports in preparation for our upcoming trips to London and Bali (excited!) See, building a business is just one...
