Wednesday mornings I attend a great networking group called SAILS, which stands for Serving and Inspiring Leaders’ Success. It is led by a Realtor® who has taken lots of coaching from Buffini & Company. One of the techniques she has passed on to us is called 6-in-6.
Eight times a year (twice per quarter), to propel your business forward, you are encouraged to write down six goals that, once accomplished, are sure to increase your success. We’ve done this twice so far, so this is the third go-around for me.
From Robert Maurer’s great book One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way
So for this 6-in-6 I decided to develop six additional habits, beyond the three that I have already incorporated into my routine:
- Exercise at least three times per week
- Meditate 20 minutes every day (I use a practice called centering prayer)
- Read at least ten pages of a good book every day (I am currently rereading Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich)
The six new habits I intend to incorporate into my routine are:
- Reconnect with everyone in my address book, at a rate of 10 per day or 70 per week until I’m all caught up
- Write a blog entry three times per week, usually Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
- Write something on my book Demystifying Prosperity™ three times per week, usually the days I’m not blogging
- Enter all my accounting data into QuickBooks (yes, I’m horribly delinquent in this!)
- Spend some time social networking on Facebook and Twitter every day
- Spend 30 minutes reducing my clutter every day
All six of these will have a profound impact on furthering my ultimate success. Even decluttering. After all, I have to make room for abundance by getting rid of years of accumulation.
I invite you to embark on your own 6-in-6 discipline. Post your Comments and let me know how you are doing.
