99 DAYS ON THE WALL... The Little Things

99 Days on the Wall, how are you doing on your 2010 goals? Do you have your ACTION PLAN yet? There is a natural tendency to drift and lose focus as we approach the end of anything. Drift can kill momentum and zap energy causing you to lose sight of the goal. This challenge takes stock of where you are (right now) and uses the last 100 days of the year to encourage, clear the clutter, build momentum. the first 90 Days sets a pace to achieve your year-end goals. The last 10 days celebrates how far you have come, leaving you energized, setting the stage for 2011 to be your "BEST YEAR EVER!"

This year's Challenge is about the biology of success. Yesterday we saw that... Success is not genetic, but rather fueled by your mental energy.

Today we look at...

The Little Things — Done Well!

I believe that much of my success when I transitioned into the corporate world was due to my life in ranching and its "Natural Order" Principles. For successful ranchers, every plan is based on the season, weather, environment, resources and responsibility all wrapped in a "Can Do" attitude.

I have seen many successful corporate managers and leaders who did not survive ranching ventures becuase they did not uderstand the rhythm and confused their particular success values to be nature principles. Many times, your value system conflicts with your environment. While values are important piece... Your success rate is doomed if you do not create synergy between your goals and action plans with the natural rhythm and order of things. Rancher's use well thought-out plans and measured actions based on five questions:

1) Does it fit?
2) Can I manage it?
3) Is it sustainable?
4) Is it reliable?
5) Can I maintain it?

Ultimately... Success is not the "Win", it is doing all the little necessary things that sets you up to Win.

— Start a 100-Day-Challenge Journal: At the end of each day, write your gratitudes of the day and then desconstruct day (start from the end to the beginning). Mentally reconstruct your day... bless it and kiss it goodby.
