Welcome!

When my ops manager - Matt, finds something he loves we hear about it. 

In a good way. šŸ˜… 

Every day. 

Whether its an idea, a phrase, a motivational quote or a new little Warhammer figure šŸ™ƒ 

Last year we heard ā€˜Goodā€™ every day.

A Jocko Willink phrase.

If youā€™re not familiar with Jocko Willink. Heā€™s a retired US navy officer who served in the military SEALS. Heā€™s now an author, podcaster and motivational speaker.

His response to any problems that come up in life is:

ā€˜Goodā€™

A Staff member leaves? - Good - you have a chance to level up and bring an even more skilled team member in

A Client leaves? - good - what can we learn from this and do better next time to improve retention?

New prospect didnā€™t say yes? - ok good youā€™re one step closer to the prospect that will say yes.

You get the idea. Thereā€™s a good lesson to build on and do better out of every situation.

It is a good mantra and you can see it in his own words here > Good

Well, we now have a new ā€˜Mattā€™ phrase in our office which is taking over every situation.

ā€˜Set the toneā€™

Itā€™s from the US series Shoresy.

No, I havenā€™t watched it either but itā€™s a US sitcom based on a guy called Shoresy who joins an ice hockey team on a quest never to lose a match and in every episode he tells his team to ā€˜Set the Toneā€™

Itā€™s about taking control of a situation with a feeling and an attitude.

And itā€™s also about winning the weekā€¦

So lets dig in šŸ˜‰ 

Set the Tone for this week šŸ’Ŗ 

You can use all of the time management tricks and diary planning tools you like but thereā€™s one strategy that multiply the effect of all of these tools by a million.

And itā€™s mindset. šŸ§  

And the mindset with which youā€™re going to approach this week.

You can plan your time with good intentions just focusing on the outcome.

But if you enter this week prepping your mind to expect good things.

Expecting positive experiences.

Going into each day with energy, optimism and gratitude it activates parts of your brain that regulate emotions and memories.

So today Iā€™m taking 10 minutes, and every day this week to Set the Tone.

Whether you write it in a journal or just a moment to yourself, on a dog walk to visualise it.

-Take 5 minutes to think on the things youā€™re grateful for. They can be really specific on things that have happened today or much simpler like having the opportunity to be here today, a text from a good friend or a sunny blue sky.

-Take 5 minutes to visualise what you would love to happen this week. What would feel so good if you achieved them by the end of Friday this week?

Itā€™s just 10 minutes to prep your mind to receive the very best week.

To dive into everything you have planned with good energy and expectations.

To set the tone. šŸ˜ 

Itā€™s beautifully summed up here in a post shared by my good friend Will Polston (heā€™s a Performance Coach and shares lots of good stuff!) earlier today

Take a minute here:

Happy Sunday lovely

Much loveā€¦ go win the week šŸš€ 

Make it a week youā€™re excited for.

Iā€™m excited for you.
