It is in your moments of decisions that your destiny is shaped. Tony Robbins
REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions): What a week! Feel exhilirated as I made some decisions that are going to accelerate the path to reaching some of the golas (amazing by the way) for this year!
Now I admit 125 weeks is a long time to have reached this point, but I want to share something which will accelerate your progress from starting with literally noting (that is where I was when I started TLP) to getting on the path to become an unstoppable, powerful, confident, and abundant bad ass!
Now before we start, wanted to ask if you have ever shopped at IKEA? Pretty cool the first time you go through it as you get to see all the departments, but quite annoying to the point you don't even want to go there, if you know you only need a couple of things. However, they built those shortcuts where you can bypass certain sections so you can get to where you want to go faster and then checkout.
Actually did not find these out until much later in my shopping experience, but man how they make a difference!
Well this what I am going to give you today. Imagine navigating IKEA is your path to get from where you are, which can literally mean not having a clue where to start, to achieving your goals and dreams, picking up the right accessories and then checking out. Think of it as walking int he entry way and then being escorted to checkout with all of the goods already picked out for you.
Would that be cool?
Uh, yeah!
Now what is said secret?
I will tell you, but first want to give you some massive insights before I tell. Trust me, they took my over 125 weeks to connect, and will serve you well if you take them into consideration.
#1: Success leaves clues. Tony Robbins and a whole sleu of other succesful people have said this one phrase (or version of this phrase).
Want to accomplish something meaningful? Probably someone that has done it or something similar, where you can learn the steps to take...even if you do not know where to start.
#2: CVVCR. This acronym stands for Choices Validate Vision and Create Reality. It is quite simple, but the actions you take today andtomorrow will either validate and take you closer to making that vision (of achieving your dreams) a reality or takes you farther away.
#3: Inputs and Outputs. Another simple phrase, but just as powerful as the #2. Frustrated (or happy) with your results, outputs? Well it only takes you looking at your Inputs, daily decisions and actions, to see the root of your problems (or success).
And number #4...which is the secret to accelerating your progress in achieving any goal, success, and your dreams....entering and then being escorted to checkout at IKEA.
It is the knowledge you are your ULTIMATE ASSET. Capital Y, Capital O, Capital U. Thus before you make another investment (car, house, clothes....) think about how your are developing the numero UNO ally in achieving success.
Are you investing in your health? Growth? Mindset? Personal development?
Well....
You might be saying I know Jess. I have heard that I am the "Greatest Asset" and I WILL invest, but...
Bottom line, how often do you find people willing to invest in their personal development, education (in something meaningful), health, family?
The truth is scary low. Wait you might say, there are tons of people searching the internet to improve them selves from looking at inspirational quotes and reading blogs posts to make changes.
Yes, these are steps in the right direction, but I am talking about the investment of TIME (daily) and RESOURCES (add a couple zeros to that payment) to resources and people who can help you accelerate the process?
Trust me I lived that life for 35 years and it truly did not get me far. Tons of ideas and a million things started, but self-publishing a book, negotiating thousand dollar contracts, talking to companies about building software products...none of that happened until I doubled down and invested both significant TIME and MONEY into people and resources that could give me CLARITY, FOCUS, and ACCOUNTABILITY.
To tell you the truth, I know I would probably not be where I am today, if I had not made the decision to truly invest in myself!
Thus, are you serious? Do you want to achieve success? Do you want to be the best version of yourself? Do you want to realize what powers sit idle inside?
Then go "All In" and invest the TIME (daily) and MONEY to snap your vision of achieving your dreams a reality.
Waiting for you on the other side,
J
Top three activities that move me forward?
1. Reworking my Morning Routine. Small tweaks...huge changes in focus and confidence.
2. Truly being disciplined to Zen. Sleep, thought, fighting illness, empathy...all through the roof!
3. Monitor INPUTS. No more media which takes me away from the vision I want to create! Like immersing myself in a new language, all in!
Biggest lessons and learnings?
The Ultimate Asset in achieving any goal, success, and your dreams...YOU! Invest wisely.
What are you grateful for?
Ingraining gratitude into daily life! Actually carving out time daily to think about all the amazingness in my family's life!

PLANNING (Implementation Intention): You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.
PLANNING (Implementation Intention): You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.
I plan to complete the weekly task [day] at [time] in [location].
A reminder you might have to use multiple Implementation Intentions in order to follow through.
EXECUTION (strategies used): From week to week, I use a combination of many strategies. There are always some which are used more than others depending on what comes up, but I wanted to offer a link to all them at once.
My advice is to identify the I CAN'T statement you tell yourself during the most. Then find a strategy below the statement which resonates with you, and then start using it.
Enjoy!
