Hey there,
So yesterday I shared I'd tell you about a client of mine who achieved in 3 months what she couldn't get done in 3 years by simply changing how she thought about one thing.
Well I figured I'd push that to tomorrow and focus on laying a foundation for that today...
Question:
How do you get done in 3 months what you planned to achieve in 3 to 5 years?
Answer:
By being very demure.
Very mindful.
Very considerate.

Seriously though - it comes down to what in The Way Of The Tribemaster™, I refer to as Your Personal Operating System (Your POS™ for short)
It's how you think about your past, present and future.
Here's the thing - most of us have personal operating systems that are completely and totally driven by our past.
Recent study however points to the fact that...
It is not the past that determines the present psychologically, it is always in the present that you are shaping and reshaping the meaning of your past.
I'll say that again...
It is not the past that determines the present psychologically, it is always in the present that you are shaping and reshaping the meaning of your past
In other words...
It is the present that causes the meaning of the past.
The past DOES NOT cause the meaning of the present.
Read that again slloooowwwly:
It is the present that causes the meaning of the past.
The past DOES NOT cause the meaning of the present.
This is the reason our present moods and future goals affect how we think about the things that we have experienced or what has happened to us.
This is very important: It is not the past that determines you. It is always you in the present that gets to frame and reframe your past.
So whatever limitations you may have experienced right up to this point - those limits evaporate the moment you adopt and committed to a future bigger and better than anything you've ever experienced.
Now, just as people incorrectly assume that the past determines the present, they also believe that the present is what determines the future.
It is not the present that determines the future...
But that is how most people look at it.
Most people use the present as the basis for the future they create.
And that is a big mistake.
Never frame your past as a liability. Always frame it as a valuable asset. Your past should happen for you and not to you.
A much more powerful and accurate approach is to let the future dictate who you are and what you do in the present.
How do you do that?
I tell you about that tomorrow when I tell you about Charlie Banks, a client of mine.
If you'd like to work with me to actually support you in making that happen for you in real time....
I'm inviting you to join me in Start The Year Right where we'll focus on getting done in 3 months what you wanted to get done in 12 months.
