The VIP Coach

The 100% day model: Simplify to multiply! Focus on three things, making up your mind on this is a key habit daily. I call this the "100% day". When the three are accomplished, everything else you do is extra, it's gravy. But you measure your 100% value of the day by these three things. As distractions and reactions arise, there is the tendency to bite the hook, but not until your 3 are complete. It gives you a backbone to make focus funnel the trivial many's, to focus on the... significant fews. Giving yourself permission to refuse is a great stance. Be relentless about this. Your not-to-go list of refusals are twice as significant as your 3 things you choose to focus on. This is the domino effect: Identify the significant few things in a list/set, and as they are accomplished, other options become irrelevant, simpler, easer, or unnecessary. Significant fews done eliminate trivial many's. The four questions to ask when a reactive task drops-in to your attention span: 1 - Is this consistent with my three things? 2 - Am I doing this out of fear? 3 - Is this my unique ability? 4 - Does doing this bring me closer to my 90 days goals? These choices are key moment to moment, to being intentional. Also, there is a 90 minute period every 24 hours that will be of particular importance. This period of concentration should be most focused on your top 3. Because your energy will be at it's highest. If you get the 3 done by 12 noon, this is 100%! Do what you want the rest of the day, for play or other options.

PODCAST #16: LEADING FROM A HOPEFUL HEART WAS JUST RECORDED, LISTEN HERE: https://youtu.be/W6cSYzYo0qI. The call of our time is to reach deeply into ourselves with the open mind, open-hearted bravery to see things directly, and understanding the existing systems we're in from others' voices. The emerging future possibilities that can move through us become a new resource of hope and intention to follow goodness where it is ready to expand.

Problems today are increasingly a dysfunction brought forth by a cult of expertise - I can solve that for you, I know how. Under fear, the brain downshifts. There are no experts. Our humanity is far greater of value to each other than our expertise.

I recorded a special presentation called the Gratitude Principle that is based on my most recent book "Stay Longer Listen Deeper" on Amazon.com. https://youtu.be/figI7b2qbRc
