Ride the Change Wave

When January 1st rolls around, most of us are excited to think about opportunities the new year might bring. But we probably aren’t as quick to prepare for the unexpected waves of change that will come crashing to our doors. Managing change is often about sorting out what our heart says, balanced with what our brain is telling us. If we’re unprepared for this internal battle, it can lead to confusion, fear, frustration, and worry. So let’s get ready!

Tell me, what battle is going on between your heart and your head? What changes do you need to make to manage the bigger changes ahead of you? What are you putting off? What things does your heart not want to face? What do you want, but think you can’t have? Yes, these are heavy questions, but what better time to get straight about what you want, where you are going, and how you are getting there than the New Year? You’ve heard this from me 1,000 times, but I’m going to say it again, and I want you to really hear it…

YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS A SAY IN HOW YOUR LIFE TURNS OUT!

Yes, how you get to where you are going… the time it takes to get there… the tools you have at your disposal… will likely change and be determined by the circumstances around you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get there! You can do anything you believe you can do, and the keys to going from believing to making it happen are:

  • Settle the battle between your head and your heart; get clear about what you do and don’t want!

  • Manage the changes before you; refuse to be a victim of them!

  • Create a plan that keeps you focused on your vision!

  • Ask for help whenever and wherever you need it!

  • Be clear and complete in your communications!

  • Have an outrageous team beside you!

  • Allow your team to hold you accountable for doing the things you know you have to do, but instead live in the land of “I’ll get to it!”

  • Never give up, never give up, and never give up!

My best to you for an outrageous, happy, healthy, love-filled New Year!
