I’ve had the sample from Beck’s song Loser repeating in my head…
“Things are gonna change, I can feel it.”
I am assuming it’s because I’ve been focusing on the word ‘intentionality’ with people a lot lately.
Things aren’t going to change unless you make a change. You may feel like things are going to change for you today. Or tomorrow. Or next week.
But if you aren’t doing anything to instigate the change, why would they?
I suppose that change might happen without you seeking it out - lightning could come through the window and strike you.
But that’s happenstance. You are lucky (or unlucky) enough to have something that rare occur to you.
If you need to get somewhere, you don’t just start driving and hope you end up where you wanted to go. You make a plan, pack a bag, fill the tank and put the address in Google Maps, which guides you to your destination.
Same for your career, life and business.
Intentionally choose where you want to go. Is it grow your book of business? Expand your influence? Launch a new project? Work until 50 and retire? Write it down. And then write out a plan to get you there.
“Things are gonna change”....if you’re intentional.
