How to Manage Your Time Better And Celebrate Your Wins- Playbook Coaching Call

It’s impossible to run a race without knowing where the finish line is. In relation to our business, we need to set up time frames to achieve our goals and pay attention to every step we take on the way to success. How can we plan our time more effectively? Why do we need to take stock of the victories and failures we live through each day?

On this episode, we share a coaching call introducing the Next Level Playbook, and explain why it’s so important to plan and record every move we make.

It’s important to know where the finish line is, so we can plan to reach it the right way. -Shane Kidwell

 

Three Things We Learned From This Episode

Understand the finish line (24:51 - 25:37)

It’s extremely difficult to reach long-term goals if we don’t set up time frames in which we’d like to achieve them. Plan annual goals in advance. This should be an honest process, if we know we’re unable to reach certain goals in a year, we shouldn’t be including them. This is about what we can achieve, not anyone else.  

Celebrate victories and record losses (25:56 - 27:00)

Write down daily goals and check them off the list as they’re completed. This helps us celebrate the small victories. It also gives us an opportunity to see where we failed. Once we see what we haven’t achieved, it’s up to us to work out what held us back, so we can avoid it from happening in the future. 

Crowd source wins (34:50- 35:59)

We need to share our progress with the people in our coaching groups. By sharing what we’ve done right, we can help others see the same great results we have. Sharing also benefits us, because when we inevitably have ‘off’ days, our peers will be able to remind us how we’ve done well in the past. 

Success requires planning and analytics; we can’t expect to see amazing results if we don’t know what our goals are or have a plan in place to achieve them. To be successful, we have to plan in advance and set up realistic time frames for ourselves. We also have to record every move we make, even the ones that brought about poor results. Analytics are vital if we want to win in our businesses.
