Not My Job

Did You Make A New Years Resolution? I didn’t. Why not set a theme for the year, rather than making yet another New Years Resolution? Years ago I gave up making New Years Resolutions.  They don’t work for me.  I have, however, developed a habit of choosing a word or phrase to be a theme for the year. Last year it was UNCOMFORTABLE. I challenged myself to do things that made me uncomfortable, because growth does not come from comfort.  Discomfort is a signal of dealing with challenge. Did it work?  Yes. I am in the process of launching a new product. Scary I joined a mastermind group with people so smart and motivated it makes me a little nauseous just thinking about it. My husband and I decided to buy our dream boat now, rather than waiting until we retired. I stood up to someone I idolized and let her be angry with me in order to move a mission forward. 2013 was uncomfortable.  It was also outstanding. What is my phrase for 2014? NOT MY JOB! My husband thinks it is a little negative, but I need the reminder to focus on what IS my job rather than letting other things steal my energy and focus.  Here are some examples: Spending the day engaged in conversation on Facebook is NOT MY JOB.  Yes, I use social media to connect with clients, potential clients, and audience members, but really, I should be able to do that in 15 minutes or so.  In 2014 I will be closing down Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.  When I’m working, I will focus on work…. at least...
