A true winner is someone who lives life all in and strives to reach their true potential
Way back in the mid 1990s I was asked to run a big city branch of a UK bank along with three smaller branches spread across the city. I was starting out on my leadership journey, and to help me I began to scribble down a few key thoughts. One day I put these thoughts together as a “Winning Checklist”. I pinned it to my desk and looked at it regularly and as a minimum each Friday as I reflected on the week just finishing.
I have been doing masterclasses recently, and I have been sharing the same checklist as a take-away. Amazingly my scribblings from over 20 years ago still hit the mark and make an impact today. I have just added a couple of extra thoughts from my recent learnings (5/4/17).
I am passionate about helping people soar to new heights and achieve their true potential. I trust it helps you as you embark on a new journey, a new challenge or just as an effective aide memoire.
Here it is:
Winners Checklist
- Am I clear on my purpose?
- Have I got clarity of both goals & objectives? Do they align to my purpose?
- Have I got clarity of my next best actions (to take my towards the achievement of my goals)?
- Have I operated 100 per cent within my circle of influence?
- Have I spent time with those who need me most?
- Have I ensured my (rising) stars feel great?
- Have I maintained a ‘can do’ attitude & a sense of urgency?
- Have I held my nerve (… and done the right things)?
- Have I held my appointment with Mozart? (Time to myself to think!)
- Have I learned something new? (Make self-development a daily event.)
- Have I learned from a champion?
- Have I put enough energy into my business?
- Have I done what matters most?
- On a scale of 1-10, how happy am I? (How could I become a 10?)
- What have I celebrated this week?
- Who have I helped?
- How much better is my business this week than last?
- What is the BEST thing I have done today?
It is something that has always helped me stay on my path … I trust it helps you too. Please add/subtract/change/adapt/share and use in any way you want.
A true winner is someone who lives life #allin and strives to reach their true potential.
As my grandfather always taught me:
Live life with a generous and a sharing heart. Keep winning!
