36. Letter to Yourself

When you want to achieve something, you write it down. Whether it’s a SWOT analysis, a formal action plan, or even a memo (or email) outlining goals—you’ve seen the power of listing out your intentions. A research study done at Dominican University in California shows that writing down your goals makes you 42% more likely to achieve them. Why not apply this approach to your own career and personal development? Today marks halfway through 2020. I suspect this is not how you thought this year would turn out, but it doesn’t change how hard you worked to get here. Your One Bold Move: Write a letter to yourself. Use this to remind you of your strengths, your why, and who you want to become. If you post a screenshot of the podcast or this episode on social and tag me @ShannaAHocking and #oneboldmove, I’ll send you a free copy of a template you can use to draft your letter to yourself.
