The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

We want you to know your North Star (your ultimate priority outcome) so that you can better protect your time. Identify where you want to go. In 20 years, what does amazing look like? Remove any logic holding you back and cast a big vision. Identify one specific action that you can do in five years to stay on track for your 20-year goal, one action you can do this year to stay on track for your five-year goal, one action you can do this month to stay on track for your one-year goal, and one action you can do this week to stay on track for your monthly goal. Put those actions on your calendar, in addition to any family, personal, or spiritual time you already have planned. Hold yourself accountable to your calendar. Don’t let new plans disrupt your priorities.
