The Power Of Clarity For Growth
From the moment we wake up, we are bombarded with choices, ideas, responsibilities, and distractions. Kiddos and loved ones that need our attention and support, emails that need responses, phone calls to make, and an endless list of things to do. It is easy to become overwhelmed and ineffective. But let us remember the words of Brian Tracy, “Clarity is perhaps the most important concept in personal productivity.” Let’s discuss 3+ ways you can use clarity to get more done and grow your business:
Clarify your values: Our values and belief systems drive our actions. Actions compounded over time drive our results. So if we want to change our results, it helps to examine our values. If your values are in conflict with your actions, it can cause disappointment, stress, and a feeling of helplessness. Alignment is the key!
Clarify your priorities: Once we have identified our values, it becomes much easier to set priorities. And as a general rule of thumb, if you have more than 3 priorities, you don't have any priorities.
Clarify your next step: As you go through the day, revisit this question whenever you find yourself getting distracted or wondering what to do next: What one action will get me one step closer to achieving my most important goal? Then do it. Until completion.
(BONUS TIP) Clarify your ideal client and your offer: Based on your knowledge, skills, experience, and temperament, who are you best equipped to serve? What can you offer them that is meaningful and differentiates you from the dozens, 100’s, or 1,000’s of agents that they can choose from? This is one of my favorite exercises to complete with my clients! It’s like a magnifying glass. If you use it as a normal tool, it can certainly help you see much further. But if you turn it just right, and focus the power of the sun, you can set things on fire! When you can focus on a particular segment of the market, you develop expertise and a reputation as the “Go-to person.” In most cases, over time, the specialist’s income will be higher than the generalist’s income.
