GOLDEN RULE No. 1

IDENTIFY THE OBSTACLES CLEARLY (& EMBRACE THE PROCESS)

Inspired by Seth Godin’s “Focus: A Ship it Journal:

Individuals and committees that can STOP you (including yourself).

What does “PERFECT” look like? Be specific

What does “GOOD ENOUGH” look like? What will you be happy to settle for? Acceptable?

FAILURE? List every outcome or event you are anxious about happening. What is UNACCEPTABLE?

GOLDEN RULE No. 2

ALWAYS BE TESTING (ABT), ALWAYS BE LEARNING (ABL)

Strengths and real (soft) skills are grown. They need practice.

Talent without practice will soon become mediocre… Practice helps you grow “your original swing”.

Based on your GALLUP test, answer the three following questions.

“Taking action without thinking things through is a prime source of problems.”
– Alec Mackenzie.

For every action, be specific: WHAT, WHEN (DD/MM/YYYY) and WHO!
