Well, we have officially come to the end of the second quarter. In just a few days we will be going into the month of July. That means that the second quarter is coming to an end and the third quarter is about to begin. Also, the start of summer was last week. For some, summer becomes a time to relax and enjoy a vacation. However, I have a totally different perspective on summer. I believe you should rest and recharge during the summer. However, I also feel that it should be a time of productivity and intentional energy in the direction of your goals. Don’t let this just be another summer of wasted moments and lost momentum. This year be purposeful about your moments and accomplish more than you have ever dreamed of. Make this summer unforgettable!
Can you remember what your last summer was like? What did you accomplish? Were you idle or intentional about where you directed your energy? How can you create a memorable summer? The summer of 2016 was very productive for me. I was in the middle of promoting my autobiography and doing lots of press for the book. Also, it was a time of forming amazing new partnerships for my business. The summer of 2016 was productive and resulted in lots of progress for me. While I can say that I was productive last summer, I am not satisfied with the results of 2016. It’s a new year and I am expecting more of myself this year. Therefore, I am very strategic about my plans and intentional about what I give my energy to. Expectations without effort produce expired dreams. Effort is the catalyst to an effective life.
As you know, I am in the middle of promoting my new book Chosen: Strategies for Revolutionary Leadership. It’s my sixth book and I am excited about it. This book is truly a game changer. It challenges leadership theories and provides the strategies for changing the trajectory of leadership in the twenty-first century. Already, the response has been great and I am thankful that this project is resonating with so many of you. I cannot thank you enough for standing with me and believing in this vision. More importantly, thank you to those that believe in this vision enough to invest in it. Partners are so special to me. Thanks for going above and beyond to ensure that this organization continues to thrive and make a global impact all around the world. This summer will be filled with promotion and interviews for the new book. Stay tuned because some exciting new things are in the works and I will share more soon.
Creating a memorable summer starts with having a plan. I’m challenging you this year to create a Summer Empowerment Plan. What exactly is that? It’s a strategic plan of the top three goals you want to accomplish over the summer months. Ultimately, we know that the summer is only three months. Three months can go by really fast especially when you do not have a plan. The reason I only want you to have three goals is because I want you to have one major goal for the next three months. Then, I want you to strategize about everything that you will need to do to accomplish your goals. Structure your days in such a way that your goal becomes a major priority. One of the things I have discovered over the years is that prioritization always determines your progress. Keep your goal before you, talk about it often and have a time every week to assess your progress. You will be amazed at what you accomplish over the next three months. If you want this summer to be memorable, then I encourage you to have a mission. The life that is consumed with a mission always multiplies. This summer you can achieve more in every area of your life. I dare you to take this Summer Empowerment Challenge.
In closing, I am really excited about the summer of 2017. I believe that to produce the unforgettable you must do the uncommon. You can fill the next three months with countless hours in front of the television and scrolling social media. Or you can fill the next three months with goals and live a greater life. The difference in moments is what you choose to master. I look forward to achieving uncommon results this summer. I hope you will join me in this Summer Empowerment Challenge. Push yourself to move beyond your comfort zone and create excellence in every area of your life. The next three months can be incredible if you live with intention. You can still enjoy the pool, take a vacation and enjoy time with family and friends. However, do not allow this to just be another ordinary summer that does not move you closer to the life of your dreams. Make a decision to create a summer to remember!
