Being it Today - Day 13 for Teams J and K

Only 2 more days left for Teams J and K. It is hard to believe we are on day 13!

The Theme for Day 13 is Being it Today

Here is a portion of the email I sent teams J and K:

This is one of my favorite days of the program (the request blitz is my favorite). You have had some time to explore and play around with your goal, but are you being it?

If your goal is to build a successful business - are you thinking and acting like a successful business person?

I your goal is to finish your book, are your thinking and acting like an author?

If your goal is to get a great new job/contract job, are you thinking and acting like the most successful folks who hold this job?

Create and take on the persona that will serve your goals!

Think about beliefs, habits, associations, and style. This is something you can have fun with. Also, start calling yourself by your expertise:

“I’m a business writer and management and leadership expert.” That’s me. I can also say that I am an expert in helping people produce breakthroughs. Do I have a PhD in this?
No.
Are there other experts, perhaps more experienced than I?
Probably.
Does this mean I am not an expert?
No!

How about you?

“I am an entrepreneur in the area of online business development.”
“I am professional leader.”

Send a note to your team saying who you are being.........

“Be the change you you wish to see in the world.” Ghandi

Approach Monday with your head held high and ready to conquer the world!

Be who you are. It is both inspirational and challenging. Certainly, I've found the inspiration challenging :-) I have been reading more broadly and finding out more stuff I want to cram into my short, focused course. As Mark Twain lamented "I apologise for the length of this letter, I didn't have time to make it shorter." How does one learn to write concisely and communicate succinctly?

Nathan - Writing succinctly and well is a challenge. I had a wonderful mentor who was a great great writer. You might try fining an editor or an editing program that will help you cull out all the extra words. After an editor "fixes" a few documents for you, you will begin to learn how to be a more effective writer.
