My 3 Words for 2015

January 2, 2015 by Jeff Gibbard 1 Comment

It’s the first video of the year.  I woke up early…and it shows.

I couldn’t stop thinking about my three words.

I had a list of 10 different words and I finally settled on three.

My three words for 2015 are:

  1. Urgency
  2. Focused
  3. Outbound

Urgency

I want to play everyday like I’m in the two-minute warning.

If I don’t get these things done, I lose the opportunity.  Things must get done.

Focused

I need to better choose WHERE I focus my energy.

I’ve tried to do too much, I’ve taken on too much.

It’s time to be more focused on where my energy goes.

Outbound

I cannot rely on the universe to simply bring me business because I want it.  I’m not entitled to business, I don’t inherently deserve it, I must work for it, which means going and getting it.  Our biggest client is the result of an outbound effort.

But it’s not just about new business; in my relationships, both personal and professional, I have put nearly all of the pressure for maintaining the relationship on the other person.  Far too infrequently have I proactively reached out to a friend just to say hello.  Far too few times have I reached out to someone in my professional network just to her how things are going, and how I might be able to help.  I know this is selfish, and I can do better.
