I’ve become hooked on James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. If you have not had the chance to read it yet, I HIGHLY encourage you to do so. His book has made me think about different aspects of my life and how I can make better habits in order to make real changes in my work and life. I have implemented changes into my daily life habits and I’ve used these theories in how I work with my Marketing Consulting clients and my Amplify Your Influence 1:1 Coaching clients. Specifically, with how I think about “goal setting”. When working with my clients, we discuss ways we can make small changes in the way we go about our work day, when added up over a period of time, actually produce results. 

James Clear also sends out a weekly email on Thursday which he provides:

• 3 Ideas From Me
• 2 Quotes from Others
• 1 Question for You

So I thought I’d give it a go, and see if I could mimic his template for myself, as I connect with you. Time to have some fun...

Here are 3 ideas, 2 quotes, and 1 question to consider this week.

3 Ideas From Me

“Just because you write it down doesn't mean that you can't change it, but start to put down a tangible plan.”

“When something in your life seems too overwhelming, and hard to get started, how can you break the something down into smaller more functional chunks to make it appear easier to accomplish?” 

“ Just Show Up. The battle is within. Networking in 2023 is going to be huge for you if you show up and engage with potential clients or customers. The same can be said for using Instagram or starting an email list. Nothing is going to happen without the work.” 

2 Quotes from Others

"A slight change in your daily habits can guide your life to a very different destination. Making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment, but over the span of moments that make up a lifetime, these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be."

James Clear, Atomic Habits

“As a parent, as a leader, you have the power to create the atmosphere in your organization, in your team, in your household.”

Gia Kazarian, Midlife at the Mailbox, Episode 20

1 Question for You

Do you have broad interests? I was asked recently, “What are my hobbies or something outside of work and family that brings me vitality?” Do you have a hobby or passion? 

Email me, you share yours and I’ll share mine

Until next time, let’s be honest it may be next month…
