NO New Years Resolutions for me this year. \u00a0I will redirect my energy, and think before I step, think before I speak. \u00a0I will choose a word or two…and be sure to make sure that word part of my daily life. \u00a0 I will read more and continue to educate myself. \u00a0I will take on challenges and learn as I go. \u00a0As I quickly approach my 50th year of being on this earth, I will do my utmost best to be a great Father, Husband, Friend, Listener, Mentor, Giver, Employee…and Human. \u00a0Some may call these resolutions, I call them evolving! \u00a0I will continue life this year doing my best to Live A Great Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following Do Manifesto….I shall print and hang where I can review daily.<\/p>\n 1, If you find something that you want to change, you have two options. One, is to talk about the change you are going to make. Or, two, stop talking. And begin.<\/p>\n 2, Avoid easy deadlines. Deadlines serve you best when they are short, hard and, at first glance, impossible. Urgency gets things done.<\/p>\n 3, All teams want to be part of history. Have something big that you want to change. Your strength of purpose multiplies the teams stubbornness to get this thing done.<\/p>\n 4, Focus on the task. If you are doing something that isn\u2019t pushing the task forward, that is called a distraction. Distractions are plentiful. But distractions stop you from doing.<\/p>\n 5, Obstacles will come your way. Guaranteed. Think of them as a gift. They will make you stronger. They will make you more creative. Rather than break you, they will define you.<\/p>\n 6, Ideas change things. But ideas by themselves change nothing. An idea needs effort to make it happen. Do the work.<\/p>\n 7, Leverage your energy. You can\u2019t increase the number of hours in a day, but you can multiply their impact. Understand the power of the influencers: The few influence the many. Find your multiplier. The person, the organisation, the companies who can accelerate the change you want to make.<\/p>\n 8, What you are doing is hard, but not impossible. Practice optimism.<\/p>\n 9, What is your priority today? Ask yourself that each day. It\u2019s your job to keep the main thing the main thing.<\/p>\n 10, The energy available to get this done is directly proportional to how much it matters to you. Only commit to things that matter.<\/p>\n 11, Perfection comes over time. Not at the beginning. Start where you are. But start.<\/p>\n 12, Sprint. Rest. Sprint. Rest. Human\u2019s get more done in bursts followed by rest. Getting things done isn\u2019t about who does the longest hours, but who does the smartest hours.<\/p>\n 13, 80% of your time is spent on things that you are not good at. 20% of your time is spent on the things you are very good at. In order to get more done, flip that.<\/p>\n 14, Teams multiply change. Teams with a clear purpose, and a clear sense of the change they can make, get the most done.<\/p>\n 15, Keep your energy for pushing forward. The past is done. Things out of your control cannot be changed. Energy spent being angry, jealous, or cynical is negative energy. Stay positive.<\/p>\n 16, Make a plan. Then accept it can and will change. Making something happen is about being nimble and adaptable.<\/p>\n 17, Say no. And say it often. You can do anything, but, alas, not everything. Focus.<\/p>\n 18, Making things happen is fun. Making things happen that matter with a team as crazy as you is the best fun of all.<\/p>\n 19, Little actions repeated relentlessly result in big change. Don\u2019t underestimate the importance of \u2018small\u2019 multiplied by \u2018often\u2019.<\/p>\n 20, Make a pact with failure early on. Respect it. But don\u2019t fear it. If it occupies your mind whilst doing, it can stop you from winning. Trust yourself.<\/p>\n 21, Even though you\u2019re busy, make time to help others who are at the start of their journey. Give back. It will help you too.<\/p>\n 22, Follow through. On the big things. On the small things. Create a habit of always following through. As habits go, it\u2019s a good one.<\/p>\n 23, If you are going to make change happen, make it a good one. This planet needs as many friends as it can get.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above was shared from David Hieatt<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nManifesto of a Doer<\/h3>\n
