Here is how to create a 100 day plan that will give you the push and the pull you need:
1- Start with the big picture.
What’s the big vision? What will your life look like in 25 years? You want to have a legacy that will set your grandchildren up for success. What does one year look like? What does 10 years look like? Start stretching the vision. Imagine what you will look like when you are 100 years old.
The first step is to start with the big picture; it can’t be money, it has to be impact. Who will be impacted by the decisions you make in the next 100 days? Who is looking up to you?
It takes practice to expand your vision for 50+ years. The more you practice your ritual, the clearer your vision is going to get.
2- Reverse engineer
Every time I see my 100-year old self, I see him as strong, and having left a legacy, and I’m constantly reverse-engineering what I have to do to become him. What are the opportunities available now, or that I need to create that will get me to that place?
The job of a leader is to create opportunities. If there are no opportunities available to create the vision you want, then you have to create them. What is stopping you from taking advantage of the opportunities?
What do I need to START doing?
What do I need to STOP doing?
What do I need to KEEP doing?
10 years ago, I didn’t have the Next Level Experience, so I needed to continue to look for opportunities to create an impact. I needed to stop doubting myself. I lost opportunities because I doubted myself; I just thought of myself as a real estate agent. I needed to continue to my growth.
3- Set clear outcomes
Set measurable and achievable outcomes. We can’t set a goal that is unattainable, but it also can’t be so easy that you don’t push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to do it. Don’t complicate this shit. Create measurable outcomes for the next 100 days and what you can do to accomplish them. Create 3 outcomes, don’t overdo it.
4- Set up a consequence.
Most people don’t set a consequence if they fail. Whatever your goal is, there is always a price to pay for doing it, and a price to pay for not doing it. Set up a consequence to create leverage when you don’t feel like doing the work. When you don’t feel like showing up, the consequences will give you leverage. The consequences need to be painful enough that it will get you to take action.
5- Determine the reward
Your mind needs to know that there is a reason for the chaos. You may be going 100 miles per hour, and you have to know you’re going somewhere. If you stop dreaming you stop pushing yourself. Feed the king so he doesn’t become the sedated warrior. Measure your progress daily. Celebrate your wins every chance you get. If you’re only grinding it out and never celebrating your wins, you won’t enjoy the process.
You can be someone’s excuse not to work, or someone’s inspiration.
