“If someone offers you an amazing opportunity but you’re not sure you can do it, say YES - then learn how to do it later!”

~ Richard Branson

Before you read any further, there is a HUGE and EXCITING announcement at the bottom of this FLIGHT. 🚀

Don’t close out of this email until you check it out.

It could just be the OPPORTUNITY you’re looking for. 😉

Wowza… the final few days of 2023 are upon us.

It’s wild that we’re about to turn the page on another calendar year.

It always goes by so fast and I hope that when you reflect on this year, you find an abundance of success and happiness.

As we all strive to become the Business Athletes we want to be… 💪

I have identified FIVE ✋ areas of your life to FOCUS on going into 2024.

  • MINDSET 🤯

  • ADVENTURE ⛰️

  • RELATIONSHIPS 🫂

  • COMMUNICATION 🗣️

  • HEALTH 💪

I am an acronym junkie, so I call this your M.A.R.C.H. Forward towards SUCCESS and HAPPINESS. 🤩

Let’s break it down…

Mindset

Opportunity is Everywhere.

Develop and maintain an open mind.

This is where it starts.

Being open and okay with new ideas, challenges, and thoughts presents the opportunity to define your PURPOSE.

Once you know where it is you’re going or at least have some sort of a path outlined for your VISION, it’s time to prepare and put in the work.

This enables focus, and stronger recognition for immediate action on good opportunity.

Good opportunity is when it aligns with your core values and purpose.

You’re not saying YES to everything; only the things that are in alignment with, in, or around your path towards your perception of success.

Navigating without hesitation, creating new opportunity from opportunity, ensures life flows in a more meaningful way to achieve greater success and happiness.

The below snipit is from FLIGHT #037 and explains the OPPO FLOW Mindset PERFECTLY. 🙌

Jump at the OPPORTUNITIES that challenge you for GROWTH.

GROWTH brings FOCUS.

FOCUS brings PROGRESS.

PROGRESS brings KNOWLEDGE.

KNOWLEDGE brings CLARITY.

CLARITY brings AWARENESS.

AWARENESS brings OPPORTUNITY…

…and OPPORTUNITY brings further GROWTH.

This is CYCLICAL.

This is OPPO FLOW.

This is the MINDSET SHIFT. 🤯

Adventure

Travel rewires our brains.

New experiences are the key to building new neural pathways.

This helps you become more creative and accepting of new ideas.

Adventure doesn’t always have to mean travel, though.

You can take little adventures everyday.

  • A walk outside

  • Music in the ears

  • Podcast in the car

  • An afternoon hike

  • Midday breathwork

  • Morning meditation

Daily adventures that provide a mindset refresh and reset.

And lastly… BE ADVENTUROUS.

Meaning… challenge yourself on purpose to find out what’s possible on the other side.

If it makes you uncomfortable, but you know it could help you develop more growth and create more opportunity…

…Then that’s probably something you say to yourself, “F*CK IT, Let’s do it”

Take risks when it aligns and try out new methods, ideas, or experiences.

Relationships

Social connections make you happier.

Relationships are connected to some of our strongest emotions.

When the emotions are positive we feel happiness, contentment, and calmness.

Strong relationships also support healthy cognitive functioning as we get older.

Studies have shown that a high satisfaction level with our relationships helps us experience longer and happier lives.

Developing strong relationships personally and professionally, builds trust and opens the door for many opportunities.

Check your INNER CIRCLE.

These are the people in your life that are motivating and inspiring you.

They lift you up.

The ones you can learn from and grow with. 🪴

Communication is KEY.

Without proper communication, there are too many assumptions and opportunities for negative connotations.

Communicate in a positive manner to seek resolutions and remove all conflicts.

Set expectations and be clear with what you’re trying to say.

Whether it’s written, verbal, or non-verbal, positive and clear communication with those around you brings a sense of comfort, trust, and reinvigorates the willingness to work together.

Communication can also mean doing the things you love, being creative with your craft, and taking action on your opportunities.

Caught not Taught. Communicate through your actions. 💥

All behavior is a form of communication, so when you’re able to create and make moves in a positive way, this drives confidence, and in turn drives happiness for yourself and for those around you.

Health

This is a NO-BRAINER.

Physical activity, healthy diet, and mindfulness are all crucial to your overall SUCCESS and HAPPINESS. 😊

It causes chemical changes in the brain which helps improve your mood, bring a greater self-esteem, and self-confidence.

Taking care of yourself first is a necessary practice that enables you to thrive and contribute positively to the world around you.

Just as a flight attendant asks you to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others during times of turbulence, you must work on yourself.

If you don’t have your HEALTH, you cannot become the best version of yourself for an extensive period of time.

If nothing else, make this a PRIORITY starting in 2024. 🙏

When all FIVE are in alignment, you will become the person you are striving to be and if you’re already that person M.A.R.C.H. Forward to maintain it.

It takes Discipline and Consistency.

ALIGNMENT does not happen without putting in the work.

GROWTH does not happen without putting in the work.

SUCCESS does not happen without putting in the work.

Figure out what you want to accomplish, and how you plan to do it over the next 12 months.

This time next year, you’ll have a new level to start from…

…and when you put in the work, it will be a level higher than the one you’re on now.

We’re not getting any younger and now is the time that we’re all starting to think about what the rest of our lives look like.

MARCH FORWARD towards…

  • YOUR SUCCESS

  • YOUR PURPOSE

  • YOUR FREEDOM

  • YOUR HAPPINESS

  • YOUR WELL-BEING

Not totally sure how to accomplish all of this…

…or where to start…

…or need some accountability?

LOOK NO FURTHER…
