Goals

Need not wait until the 1 January. Draft a few now. Make them precise. Give them a timeline. Be honest with yourself; is that a goal you want or simply an expectation of others?

You have about a week before Christmas Craziness really takes off. Get those gaols precise, stripped back, time-driven and documented. Then on 1 January 2026 you’ll be ready to motor.

Present, Pitch or Propose

with a story, a narrative. A beginning, a middle and an end. A purpose, an explanation and a conclusion.

Not a set of bloated, dreary and cut & paste PowerPoint slides.

Prioritise

by pay-off, by return on your time, by impact on your goals.

NOT

by what is first nor easy on the list. Nor by he who shouts loudest. Nor by what everybody else is doing.

Go get the right stuff done.

In The Pipeline

The next in the short, sharp and focused ‘companion’ series will be ‘The Tools of Excellence’, planned for the next month or so. My next novel Pierre Lambert 2 (working title) will be late next year.

Meanwhile, How to Beat ChatGPT; MEDS: A Wellness Strategy and Love, Life & Legacy, three short stories are out and instantly available on amazon, worldwide.

Michael Wade

who like me had a VW Beetle as his first car (and loved it) has a fascinating essay on cars.

If you think you can, so often you can. If you think you can’t….Well you usually can’t.

Go surprise yourself.
