Get Momentum 3 ways and improve your life

Change Your Perspective…

…change your life!

“How are you?” a colleague asks.

“So busy,” you reply.

Does this sound like a typical day in the office?

Also, it’s the #1 reason we co-founded the GET MOMENTUM Leadership Academy in 2012 and wrote our book by the same title in 2016. Your routines can be valuable when they streamline your workflow.

Now, if you’re feeling stuck, change your perspective.

It’s what we coach leaders to do…

Keep reading below to learn THREE ways you can change your perspective.

But first, a video:

Change the way you see (and do) things

Below, you’ll learn 3 ways to change your perspective, get MORE of the more important things done, and be a better _________ [fill in the blank!].

#1. Go. There.

Work where you won’t be interrupted for 30 minutes.

Reserve a conference room and go there to think deeply about a big, long-term project. You’ll get more quality work done in a shorter amount of time if you protect yourself from interruptions by other people, your own workspace and your technology.

How do you find this time? Here’s a video to get you thinking…

#2. Meet. Them.

Meet with someone and talk about what’s real.

A mentor, a coach, a therapist, a sponsor…you need someone you can talk to in confidence.  Hearing another point of view on your problems can give you a fresh perspective, relieve some stress, and it may even produce new solutions.

So much stress is caused by you thinking about (and REthinking about!) something that should be different. Once you know you want things to change, you’ve GOT to have the conversation - a NEW conversation - with yourself and someone on your team who can help you get there.

#3. Be. Mindful.

Think. Do. Then think again.

It’s all routine: how, where, and when we think. So, change it up. Write the name of a project on a note card, get a pen, and go for a 10-minute walk outside. When you get 5 minutes away, stop and write down what you’ve thought of about the project. Then, walk back to your desk. Changing your location changes your perspective. Stimulating your brain with fresh supply of oxygen can give you the creative boost to notice what was right there all along.

Of course you’re busy…

Change and see old things in new ways, get ideas to work smarter, and achieve more of the goals you’ve set.

Be a Resilient Leader (Weekly Member Message)

Hi [wlm_firstname],

We’ve JUST launched the new Get Momentum Leadership Academy leadership theme: “How to Be a Resilient Leader.”

So, please if you’re a member LOG IN to your account here, and take the Self Assessment.

This month you will:

  • Reflect on your challenges and discover the tools you have for weathering adversity.
  • Explore the tools and strategies that build resilience.
  • Discover your own limitations around resilience – and how to go beyond them.
  • Experiment with daily habits for building more resilience.

Happy “almost” 4th of July.

You may not know, but it’s Jason and my 18th Anniversary on Tuesday - though we’ve been partners in life and at work since 1993!

Please do add the Master Class* to your calendar.
(Thursday, 9:15am Pacific start time…be there!)

Oh… Jason and I spent 3 days scoping out a destination for the next Get Momentum Leadership Retreat (somebody had to do it!).

While there, we recorded a short video for you…a 2-minute introduction to this month’s theme: How to Be a Resilient Leader.

* There’s nothing you need to do for the Master Class. Members have already been registered and will receive email reminders before the webinar.

Your Goals. Your Hopes. Your Dreams.

Have you written down what you want, lately?

Not what you have to do, or all you HAVE to do.

I mean:

Have you held a pen in your hand and let words come out of your mind so you can see them on the paper?

Not just any words. Phrases…sentences…paragraphs even.

And not just about anything.

What are your goals? Your hopes? Your dreams?

You have them. You think about them. Now, it’s time to acknowledge them, write them down, start working on them, and most importantly…ask for help in achieving them.

One of my mentors (who I never met, by the way) said:

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

That was Peter Drucker, and today his words are as important as ever.

Tomorrow (August 13th, 2016) I will race in the USA Triathlon National Championships here in Omaha, Nebraska. This event comes at a point in my life where a LOT of hard work, schedule conflicts, injuries and plans had to happen to get here.

How do you choose a goal that’s big and break it down in to something you can not just dream about, but manage?

How do you achieve what seems impossible?

  • Change how you think, you’ll change what you believe.
  • Change what you believe, you’ll change what you do.
  • Change what you do, you’ll change what you achieve.
  • Change what you achieve, you’ll change what you accept.
  • Change what you accept…well, that’s the key isn’t it?

Let me explain:

Think to Believe.

A lot of people try “will power” to work on their to do lists and projects. They think that the “Future Them” will be totally lined up with the “Current Them,” and they make these long, unclear, incomplete lists of “Should Dos” (not really Must Do Items).

The thinking that I’m talking about here is more than just letting your mind wander. It’s directing your focus. It’s taking those thoughts that might otherwise flee, and grabbing on to them. Holding on to them. Expanding, magnifying, and even feeling them.

This afternoon while I was Carter Lake here in Omaha after I registered for the race and racked my bike in transition, I stood on the platform where we’ll start the swim. I looked down the line of buoys and held my focus there for more than 3 minutes. I saw myself swimming along the line. With my feet in the water, I imagined the noise of a thousand athletes all pushing for the same goal.

Believe to Do.

When it comes time to Do (to Act, to Work, to Get It Done), you can’t hope your way through. It won’t work to think that you can do it. You have to believe. You have to know, that no matter what at some point after you begin, there’s going to be a “there” that is different than “here.”

Maybe this is where it all falls apart. You see, too many times people do this wrong. And, look, my hand goes up in the air. I used to do it wrong as well. You see, what you DO is going to map to the world you believe is possible. So, as I’m writing this blog post, do I believe it’s possible for me to publish it?

Do to Achieve.

Doing. Doing. Doing. Tell me, when do you call it done? You see, there are SO many things you’re managing (me too, by the way) that don’t have natural end points. There is no goal line to being a good husband. To taking care of my home and land. To spending time with my friends. To serving my clients. To… you get it.

Your “doing” needs “done.” Of course, it’s all along the way. (Or, somethings things are IN the way, but that’s for another post.) You need to achieve more, and you need to call them done. You need to be able to say, “What I set out to achieve is complete, and now I have a NEXT thing to work on.

Achieve to Accept.

Another mentor I learned a lot from (and, another one I haven’t met…yet) is Dr. Lorraine Monroe. Years ago, she spoke at a conference and a friend bought me the AUDIO cassette. In there she said one line that I listened to so many times, I started to wear down that part of the program. She said,

“You get what you accept.”

That changed my life. That one sentence made everything different. Whether it was about my profession, my relationship with Jodi, my health, my friendships… all of it.

Occasionally, people around me “call me out” for when it seems like I’m rude to people I’m with. You see, I’m that guy. That guy. If in the course of a conversation you say something that offends me. If you do something offensive. If it seems like you’re on a side that I’m not - and never - going to visit, I’m going to walk away.

Don’t get all uppity here, just ask yourself when YOU stayed in a conversation with someone LONG past the point where you thought you’d ever want to sit with them again. If it has ever happened, rest assured, you got what you accepted.

Accept to… Think again.

You see, here’s the interesting thing (and, I’ll bring this back around to Triathlon now)…once you start accepting things to be a certain way, you’ll find that you can expand on that thinking. It’s powerful stuff to have a thought and then magnify that thought, and then do it again!

When I started accepting that I was a competitive Age-Group Triathlete, I made it more and more ok to think bigger and bigger. I practiced with that in mind. I planned with that in mind. I traveled with it in mind as well.

60 months from now, you’re going to be doing what you’re doing, having what you’re having, thinking what you’re thinking based on who you spend time with this week. What if you started to change that up a little…might you change the kinds of Goals, Hopes and Dreams you think of?

See you out there, I got a race to rest for…

15 minutes to a more productive month

When it’s time to be productive, you don’t have time to get ready. That is why we created a 15-minute meeting agenda form you can use to prepare for BIG, important discussions. First, watch the :55-second-long video below, then click on the PDF icon below to download the Meeting Agenda form.

Fill it out for your next 1:1, and you’ll see a more productive month ahead.

We promise you’ll #GetMomentum

 

 

Here’s the PDF to print, respond to, and email back so you can prepare for a MASSIVELY PRODUCTIVE 15-minute meeting*.

 

*Meeting = a discussion with two or more people where one or more of them walk away with a “To-Do” item.

** Yeah, that means you have a LOT of “meetings.” Probably more than you considered before!

Be better? You’ve got to want to.

You should have seen me a few years ago.

Overweight. Out of shape. Buying clothes because I was gaining poundage.

Then, everything changed.

For a month of Get Momentum coaching, I’m going to share with you what I learned about performing. How you perform, well that’s based on how you train. And, how you train, well THAT depends on what you want.

Are you willing to FINALLY put yourself in charge? Are you willing to do what it takes to make your best…better?

When Jodi and I wrote the book, “Get Momentum” (order here: wmck.co/GetMomentumBook) we knew we were on to something as we received letters, phone calls, and emails from people saying, “Hey, I’m stuck, and want to get started.”

If there’s something YOU want to take on this year, be sure you’ve got the “want to” dialed in!

Don’t be “rookie” on me (I’ve got $399 on the table)

Let me guess… over the past week you have said, “I don’t have enough time.”

Rookie comment.

It really is.

I mean, c’mon, anyone can say that; because it is absolutely true! You DON’T. And, you NEVER will. No one - and I mean not a SINGLE one - reading THIS blog at Get Momentum dot co has gotten to the end of the day and said aloud, “Wow, I had WAY too much time today, I really need some more things to do to fill my time.” Nope, not one of you.

The Brutal Truth (sometimes hurts)

But here’s the brutal truth, “not having enough time” is a great excuse for not getting things done. No one has enough. Nobody. And you know what? You never will. So, stop saying it.

Everyone you know, all the people you haven’t (yet) met, and every person alive up until recently* was under the same limit you and I experience: 24 hours in a day.

That’s 1,440 minutes which divides itself up to 96 blocks of 15 minutes each. And, with just one of those blocks I’m going to show you how to make more progress on one of your goals than you ever thought possible.

15 minutes is enough time time.

Enough…

  • To read 15 pages of that professional skills-development book on your desk.
  • To write a heartfelt thank you card to someone who helped you last week.
  • To continue an important discussion with your significant other.
  • To review next quarter’s goals and objectives.

I can almost hear you now, “Jason, I need more than 15 minutes…”

Rookie comment.

Stop it. You don’t have more time. You won’t get more time. And, I don’t believe you; you don’t need more time. In fact, I’m going to put $399 on the table:

Pick something you need to have done between now and December 1st, 2015…something that you have not “had time for” over the past few weeks.

Today, I want you to sit down by yourself in a well-lit, quiet, comfortable place.

Then, open a notebook to a fresh page, and with your favorite pen on top of that piece of paper write down the following:

  • Name of the “thing” you need more time for
  • The date 90 days from TODAY
  • What (specifically) you’re LOSING by NOT having it done [I want details and numbers here: $, #, etc]

Ok, once you’ve done that, set a countdown timer for 15 minutes by clicking here. And do NOTHING except think about finishing that goal within the next 90 days. I want you to write down your thoughts, ideas, plans, questions, possibilities, and actions.

You have between now and Monday to do this and until Tuesday to process it. And, here’s the deal:

If you do this 15 minute activity by Tuesday, email me a picture of all your work. If it’s multiple pages, that’s fine. Just send them all in. Oh, be sure to include your mobile phone number.

Then, you have until Thursday, at midnight to prove this doesn’t make a difference. IF, by Thursday night, midnight Pacific time, you don’t make RADICAL progress on that project, email me (by Friday, 6am Pacific). I will offer you a MONTH-LONG Premium Membership at getmomentum.com - you’ll get me AND Jodi as your personal coaches for 30 days.

If this works…

If this works, we personally invite to join as a year-long member of the Get Momentum Academy coaching program. (Click here to PRINT the Academy Curriculum.) If you make as much progress in one week as I KNOW you will make, think about what would happen over the course of a year.

Ready?

Wishing you the best…

But “Why?” do you want to be more productive?

ahhhh, Sunday routines…

(What is one of YOUR Sunday routines? Click below to add yours in the comments section.)

Every Sunday, I jump over to Amazon.com and read through what people have said after reading “Your Best Just Got Better.”

Currently, there are 184 reviewers who have given the book 5 out of 5 stars.

Lainee & Judson Stidham wrote, “Jason spoke to the core when he described optimizing your productivity so we could make more time for life. We were all in!”

George Walmsleyon said, “I was one of those people that always used the excuse, I don’t have enough time. After reading Jason Womack’s book, Your Best Just Got Better, I have never used that excuse again!”

And, Russ P. Schroeder added, “I am almost done reading this book by Jason Womack. I think it gives one a very fresh and broader perspective on what I feel is the somewhat out dated time management mindset. Jason talks about life management and getting stuff done. I have found his approach very effective for not only my work but my life in all areas.”

Why Do You Want to Be More Productive?

This is perhaps the most important question to ask. Everyone has their own answer, their own reason to want to get more done here, so they have more time and freedom there. Now, where is YOUR “here,” and what would YOU like to be doing “there?”

How Do You Plan More Productively?

Take a look at the next 5 days on your calendar, and match what you have planed to the suggestions below…

Momentum and You

Ah, that feeling of momentum.

You know, when you get an idea, implement it, and it works! You get that blog post or chapter written. A customer leaves a raving review of your service online. The manufacturer you’re working with gets you what you need on time AND on budget. Isn’t that great?

We’ve just published a 34-page eBook that teaches you how 8 successful Get Momentum members create the conditions necessary to succeed at work…and in life.GMBookCover

Now, what do you do when things are NOT going that smoothly? What do you do when you face challenges, overwhelm and stress in life and at work?

How do you start…when you’re stuck?

That is what we study and teach at www.getmomentum.com.

Jodi - my wife, business partner, and co-author of “Get Momentum: How to Start When You’re Stuck” (Wiley, 2016) - and I have had the pleasure and honor of working with leaders like Devon Bandison for more than 19 years.

When Devon emailed me and said, “Hey Jason, how do we share the Get Momentum philosophy with more people worldwide?”

I knew we were on track to do something amazing together. Each person who contributed to this book is über-successful in our eyes. They are real people, people like you and I. They have a dream, a goal, an idea, a “something” that they need to get started.

These stories will catapult you to take action.

Now, it’s up to you to read this book, and that you Get Momentum. Welcome!

“If you could focus more…AND manage your time…”

Do you wish you had more “me time” each weekend?

According to a survey by Salary.com, 90% of workers waste at least a half hour each workday, not including lunch or scheduled breaks. You know that you’re not wasting time; you truly don’t have enough of it…

You know, enough time to be with your family. Or…

  • Time to get things done around the house.
  • Time to relax and do nothing.
  • Time to catch up on lost sleep. (If that’s the one, we have to talk. There’s more going on…)

Recently, we’ve been hosting special ONLINE classes (30-45 minutes each) teaching people 2-3 ways to Optimize their Time and Focus.

During these classes on time management, you learn how to save 15-45 minutes a day on the tasks you have to get done. I also teach you how to…

  • Be at your very best and prepare for more productive days.
  • Manage your expectations in light of constantly shifting priorities.
  • Be MUCH more productive with tools like email and tablet computers.
  • And more…

If you want extra time, if you’d like to be more productive, experience less stress, and do more of what you said you’d do, take the time to attend this course.

There’s a class on Time Management you can register for right here.

If you want more “me time” next weekend, you’ve got to sign up for this course.

Your “Momentum Selfie” (one-minute video)

Ahhhh… technology meets the “Sharing Economy.”

So, when it’s time to share YOUR story of Getting Momentum, we’d love to hear and see what you have to say. Please start your video camera, activate your front-facing, hold your phone in “landscape mode,” and share 59-seconds of your own “Momentum Selfie” video.

Here’s a sample, if you’d like to see:

What “2 Questions” do you have for me?

What is it about the foundation of something that makes life and work better?

I define foundation as: “an underlying basis or principle for something.” So, while I was in Phoenix, Arizona this past week, and new friends asked, “What do you do?” I realized I was returning to the basics, to the foundation of what I thought it was that I did. Then, someone asked me an incredibly powerful question…it stopped me in my tracks. She asked, “What would your clients ask you?”

I didn’t know!

So, I asked… and early one Friday morning, I sent an email to 5,632 people with just one line of text.

The email asked, “What 2 Questions do you have for me?”

Within minutes, your answers started coming in to my email inbox. By 12pm, my inbox was overflowing. I quickly realized that just responding to each individual wasn’t enough. What I need to do is share their questions, and some answers, with you all.

So, below you’ll find the questions, with a link to the answer. And, if you don’t see the question YOU’D like answered, leave it in the comment area below and I’ll get to it just as soon as possible for you!
