About My Three Words
I’ve been writing a My Three Words post every year since 2013.
It’s the first video of the year. I woke up early…and it shows.
I couldn’t stop thinking about my three words.
I had a list of 10 different words and I finally settled on three.
My three words for 2015 are:
- Urgency
- Focused
- Outbound
Urgency
I want to play everyday like I’m in the two-minute warning.
If I don’t get these things done, I lose the opportunity. Things must get done.
Focused
I need to better choose WHERE I focus my energy.
I’ve tried to do too much, I’ve taken on too much.
It’s time to be more focused on where my energy goes.
Outbound
I cannot rely on the universe to simply bring me business because I want it. I’m not entitled to business, I don’t inherently deserve it, I must work for it, which means going and getting it. Our biggest client is the result of an outbound effort.
But it’s not just about new business; in my relationships, both personal and professional, I have put nearly all of the pressure for maintaining the relationship on the other person. Far too infrequently have I proactively reached out to a friend just to say hello. Far too few times have I reached out to someone in my professional network just to her how things are going, and how I might be able to help. I know this is selfish, and I can do better.
So, this is what I’m focusing on this year.
If you’re reading this, I hope that you hold me accountable.
What are YOUR three words?
If you’ve never done this before, there’s no better time to start.
Pick your three words and write up something to post on your blog or on Medium.
Share it on social media and add the hashtag #my3words so other people can find it.
Thanks, as always, to Chris Brogan for the inspiration to do this every year.
