This is Your Half!

HALF-TIME Adjustments…
By Todd Durkin MA, CSCS

HALF-TIME. In most sports, half-time is extremely important. And there are a few things that you usually do at half-time that are essential.

As a matter of fact, allow me to take you in the “locker-room” for a brief-moment and share what typically happens behind closed-doors.

First things first, you go to the bathroom. 🙂
You change your under-shirt.
You hydrate.
You get a snack.
You relax for a few minutes.
And then you go back to the drawing board with your coaches.

HALF-TIME is a time when great coaches make key adjustments to their game-plan to put their teams in situations to succeed. And hopefully win.

Adjustments made at HALF-TIME can often determine if a team wins or loses the game.

And guess what? This week is “HALF-TIME.”

Tuesday (June 30) marks the last day of June.
Wednesday is the 1st of July.

That means we are exactly HALF-WAY through the 2015 year.

The WOW this week is HALF-TIME.

YOUR ACTION-STEPS:

1. Review your “1st half” of 2015.
How is 2015 going thus far? What did you learn in the “first-half”? What were your wins? What were your losses or mistakes made? What are you doing well right now? What were your “AHA’s” you discovered?

2. Review your “Annual Roadmap & Strategic Plan” that many of you many have completed with me back in January. This is your actual “game-plan” that YOU created to craft up your best year. Out of that entire exercise, I want you to review your BIG 5 for 2015. These are the 5 things you MUST do in 2015 to make it a great year. A year that you would be proud of. A year that would allow you to leave your mark. A year that would create IMPACT.

What are your BIG 5 of the Year? Revisit them and make sure they are still speaking to you…These things MUST get done THIS YEAR to make it a winning year!

Like my earlier illustration of what happens in a typical locker-room at halftime, it’s also common for the coach to end HALF-TIME by telling their team that the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half (or 3rd quarter) are imperative to the start of a STRONG FINISH. “You gotta come out fast and hard and hit ‘em in da teefs!”

This week is the perfect time for YOU to pick up some steam & get MO-MENTUM in your business & life.

What do you NEED to do this week to dial in your FOCUS to ensure a winning 2nd half?

HALF-TIME. Enjoy this week. And come out of the gates fast & hard…and hit ‘em in da teefs!”
