Be A Legacy Networking Tip #4

Emulate A Leader

Take time and think of someone who is successful in your field. Or in the field you are passionate about being in.
  • Who is that person?
  • What do you admire or respect about them?
  • Why they are important to you?
  • What makes them stand out to you?
  • What can I learn from them?

They can mentor you with out ever meeting you! Look at what you feel makes them a leader in the field or industry. How can you do some of the things that they do? How can you get educated like them?

When the challenges arise in your business, and they will, you can ask yourself, "What would he/she do, well why don't I just do that?" And then just do it!

Even if you have never personally met them you can see how they get involved, what they do well or what mistakes they have made and course correct yourself as needed.

You can have several people that you admire and respect that you choose to take bits and pieces and make your life much more productive.

Look in all the areas of your life to find people to mentor you. I have chosen people in my walk of faith, industry, relationships and child rearing. This has been a great tool for me to get better in all areas of my life.

Know that people may be watching you as their mentor! How are you living your life? How can you live in a way that people will do what is great in you?

Do You Know If Your Life Is In Balance?

Do you address the issues and find balance in your life?

What are the key areas in your life that you may want to set goals and address concerns around?

I see 7 Key Areas of Focus in life that unless all are in alignment can create the space of being out of balance. I would like to share with you the 7 Key Areas of Focus that may entice you to look deeper into your life and create a more balanced life.

Key 1: Self & Contribution – Who you are matters in the world! How you contribute to others and yourself is your greatest asset. Your attitude in life will either move you forward or hold you back. How do you talk to yourself? Do you feel you are making a contribution in your life?

Key 2: Work & Career – What you to do to make a living matters! What matters is how much you enjoy your work & career. You may want to evaluate your thoughts and feelings around work. Are you satisfied? Do you want to make a bigger difference?

Key 3: Relationships – Who you connect with matters! Have you ever stopped to really think about all the relationships in your life? How do you see those around you? Have you clearly defined your circle of friends? Are there relationships you would like to improve? Are there relationships you may need to let go of because they are toxic?

Key 4: Money & Finances – How you honor your money & finances matter! Have you taken an inventory of your money and finances? Do you avoid looking because it may not be where you want it? What is your income? What are your debts? What is your plan to manage your money & finances? Do you even have a plan?

Key 5: Spirituality – Your sense of meaning and purpose matter! Do you know the deepest parts of you? Religion, nature, art, meditation and pray are just a few ways to express spirituality. What is spirituality for you? How do you bring out your best through your spirituality? What do you do on a regular basis that shows your faith spiritually?

Key 6: Health & Fitness – How you feel in your body matters! How do you take care of your health & fitness? What do you do regularly that takes care of your health? How are your food choices? Do you get enough exercise and sleep? How do you envision your health and fitness? How do you handle stress?

Key 7: Fun & Recreation – How you have fun and re-create yourself matters! When was the last time you feel you truly had fun? What were you experiencing that made it fun? Have you made a list of all the things you love to do? When was the last time you did one of the things on your list? Is it time to do something fun and re-create yourself?

When I have balanced myself in these 7 Key Areas of Focus I find that my life runs a lot smoother.

I take responsibility for my life, my actions and my outcomes. As I am more balanced I enjoy myself, my career, my relationships, my finances, my faith in spirit, my health is important and I have a lot of fun!

Where are you at in each of the 7 Key areas of Focus?
