My-Three-Words-2015

 

Here is the audio version of this post. Thank you so much for listening.

So here we are…. 20 frickin 15! One of my coolest and smartest biz heroes Chris Brogan has been doing a My Three Words practice since 2006. This is where I discovered this awesome intention setting exercise.

Goals to me are just set ups for failure and crushing self worth, so I prefer to set intentions, visions and my three words. We move towards what we focus on, and I firmly believe that if we keep our mind right, the results come. It’s what has worked for me year after year.

My three words for 2015…

Focus
On how I can create and deliver the most value to those I have the honor of serving

Clarity
Seek clarity around what makes my heart sing and do more of that

Action
Take action on the stuff that matters for my body, heart and business

While I would like to think I am pretty good in those areas, I, like many others, get distracted easily. My head plays tricks on me, and taking action on all things of importance is not always my strong suit, particularly in the body department.

So here it is. Simple. No need for more words, they only distract.

What will your three words be for 2015? Wanna share? Click here, I’m listening.

A big shout out to Chris Brogan again for continuing to push and inspire.

Love+Awesomeness-

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”

Charles Bukowski

My Three Words

I have always been one to keep things simple. And by simple I do not mean easy. There is a big difference. So I guess that makes me an artist, one that is able to make hard things simple. Awesome.

I follow a blogger named Chris Brogan. He is the CEO of Human Business Works, a business design company and is a New York Times bestselling author of The Impact Equation and Trust Agents. I love him. He is an artist of business. And one of my mentors.

Chris created an exercise called My Three Words. It is his process of creating a focus for the coming year. When I read his post, I immediately fell in love with his process and had to share it.

You see, I have always seen things in 3’s (and sometimes 4’s). I love triangles (and squares). Most of my professional life I have created strategies, plans and programs in this way.

My Three Words for 2013
Hone
I will hone my skills in order to live my purpose of helping to empower people and businesses through sharing my knowledge and experiences with love.

Harness
I will harness my passion for storytelling and stay focused on what makes my soul come alive. And do more of it.

Honor
I will honor my promise to myself and others, to do all things with love, authenticity and integrity, to speak my truth and to create art, which in my case is the art of business and personal development and storytelling.

OK, your turn. What are your Three Words? If you feel compelled, click here to share them with me. I would love to see them. If you are feeling really bold, post them on our Facebook page. Or tweet them to @passionsquared2 with the hashtag #mythreewords.

A big shout out of thanks to Chris Brogan, for being so awesome and sharing this exercise with the world. If you want to subscribe to Chris Brogans Blog, click here.
