Finish the Year Strong: Stop Coasting and Crush Your December Goals

all right welcome back to the daily mastermind george wright the third with your daily dose of inspiration motivation and education i hope you're having a great day today today is the start of a new week and i want you to be focused and really drive into your goals and it you know there's a great quote of the day today if you go over to uh you know any one of our social media channels you'll see those quotes of the day, but it's from Bishop T.D. Jakes, and the quote is, run after your destiny. Run after your destiny. And I think it's such a fitting quote because at the end of the day, I think a lot of people are maybe chasing their destiny. Some people are just working on their destiny. Some people aren't doing any of that. But towards the end of the year, I really truly want you to be running after your destiny. And so it brings up the topic I wanted to talk to you about today and to start your week off. And this idea of finishing strong in 2023, finishing this year out strong. What I want you to do is I want you to find the courage and strength and focus in yourself to push through the next month or so. Because I really believe that you can begin to crush your goals in December. I know that, you know, a lot of people sort of start to give up on their goals towards the end of the year. You know, they start to think, well, you know, I'm not going to hit my goal. I set a big lofty goal. I'm not going to hit it. And so they begin to give up. I don't want you to give up on your goals just yet. And I don't want you to set back at all. I don't want you to, you know, let up off the gas because I believe that you're going to miss a lot of opportunities and a lot of opportunities to not only get these small wins, but opportunities to grow. Remember, it's the process, not the goal or the destination that shapes you. It's the process, not the goal and destination. So finishing the year strong is something I really truly want you to focus on. So how are you viewing? I'm going to ask you this very seriously. I want you to think about this. How are you viewing the end of your year? Are you far away from your goals that you set at the beginning of the year? So maybe you're, you know, you're focused on just getting to the finish line rather than pushing through the finish line. You know, most people begin to shift their focus and they change the way they view the end of the year. And you may have been doing this your whole life. And so I want you to be conscious of the idea of focusing this last month almost like rather than it the end of a period of time I want you to think of it as the final minutes of a game the final minutes that you have to really go to the next level And, you know, maybe you're down, maybe you're really down on the scoreboard and you don't feel like you could possibly win the game. That's when I want you to shift your focus. I want you to shift your focus into what are you trying to accomplish? Because you can take the end of the year and you can turn that into a setup for an amazing year, or you can trail off towards the end of the year and just kind of keep working on your goals, but not really have a drive because you know or you think that you're going to reset the mark in January. See, I think you can separate yourself from the pack right now. I think this is the time that you can decide when everyone else is coasting into the end of the year, I think you can decide to start your new goals and start the process of really driving. You can focus on driving through the finish line of the end of the year. And this is the time when you can really learn to get and gain that edge over your competition. It's the period of time that you can practice your self-discipline. Rather than thinking of it as a time to let off the gas, why don't you think of it as a time to double down. This is the time that you can sort of really grow yourself and your expectations. And it's during the times of struggle or difficulty, because let's be honest, at the end of the year, people are distracted. People are doing all kinds of different things. Everybody's doing, you know, the parties and the holidays and the, you know, the gift giving and the shopping and that type of thing. And I think there's a place for all of that. But this is the time of year for you to truly gain an edge on everyone that's around you, whether it's your competition, whether it's you personally. I mean, the most difficult times you go through is when you're refined and you grow the most. So the times that require the most discipline are the times that you're going to truly shift the most. So not only do I want you to focus on finishing the year strong and shifting the way you look at the end of the year, the way you perceive this year end, What is your perspective and filter you have? But I want you to learn to find this period of time as a period of time where you can separate yourself from the pack. You can separate yourself from not only what you've been focused on and growing and go to another level, but also everything in your life that you're trying to accomplish. And so what do you do and how do you do that? I mean, I think it's really important that you don't get distracted. Really be conscious of the distractions right now Watch your social media consumption I think it these times a year that people tend to jump on their social media feed even more because they seeing you know fun exciting things They looking at you know stuff going on and don get caught up or distracted by the social media. Don't get caught up or distracted by the need to have a vacation or social or all of those things. Now, I want you to enjoy your life. I think it's very important that you're fulfilled. But be intentional with your memories and your life events. Don't just take time off and get distracted because it's going to be very noisy in the industry. It's very noisy in marketing. There's a lot of sales. There's a lot of people doing fun things. There's a lot of stuff that's going to distract you. And sometimes it's not so much the distraction of having an enjoyable life, which I think is important. Sometimes it's a distraction to the discipline that's creating the best version of yourself. You know, you're distracted by, you know, eating bad or taking time off or doing all these things. And let's be really clear, you can have an amazing life. You can structure the time for memories and family and life events and not distract yourself from the goals and discipline and commitment that you have to go to the next level. And so I think it's very, very important. You know, a lot of my life I've heard those phrases, you know, do today what most people won't do so you can have tomorrow. Well, I'm not about putting off your best life until tomorrow, but I am about eliminating the distractions. It's time for you to eliminate those distractions. Look at it as a game. Sometimes you can, you know, intentionally go into a period of time where you look at it as a game where you notice the distractions. Think about how much further you're going to be along when you're aware of the distractions and most people are just drifting. Most people are just getting caught up and falling into the distractions. And so just remind yourself to not get distracted and then also focus on the fundamentals because remember the fundamentals are what win the game. So continually take time to refine and delegate and delete things you're doing. In other words, refine your activities right now. When most people are applying less pressure, it gives you the ability to focus your efforts on the more important activities because there's not a lot of people out there needing your urgent responses. Refine your activities. Focus on what's most important for you and your life and your business and your growth during this period of time. It's the period of time, not where you step back and just analyze things but where you can double down on the most important things and get so much more done because you not distracted with all the responsibilities you may have But also learn to delegate things that don take you closer to your goal This is a great period of time for you to identify the areas in your life your business that don't serve you. The things that all through the year you've maybe focused on but are not creating the result because it is important at this time of year for you to really identify the areas that you can refine, the areas that you can delegate or delete and become much more productive. Find the efficiencies in your schedule. Find the efficiencies in your time management. Find your ability to focus even more and create some momentum. What would it be like? Think about it. What would it be like going into January with momentum? What would it be like going into January where you're already disciplined on your eating and your fitness and your business and now you can take it to another level. You will literally change the game for yourself. And so I want you to take this opportunity and realize that it's not either or. Successful people think both. You can have an amazing holiday. You can have an amazing year end. You can create great memories and still level up your game and still go to a whole nother level and separate yourself from all of the competition, separate yourself from everyone else in the marketplace. Look at it as a badge of honor for you to be able to increase your discipline, increase your focus, become more productive. And I think if you will do that, you will finish the year so strong and you will be so grateful and so happy that you did it. I know it'll make a difference for you.
