Reader, We are 58 days to the end of 2024. How has 2024 been? 2024 has gone FAST for me. Some highlights:
Here are my goals for the rest of 2024:
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:
What they don't realize is, these outcome goals are dependent on their input goals which they have 100% control over, like:
Plus a bunch of other factors they have 0% control over, like:
...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). Sharon P.S. Curious about how MAP can help you focus on your input goals you have 100% control over so you can ditch worrying about the things you have 0% control over?

This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...
Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment.
