Keeping Your Word

Keeping Your Word   Garrett and Matt take the opportunity today to discuss a trend they have noticed lately around the concept of a 'word of the year'.Despite the physical injuries that they are both dealing with these days, our hosts are excited to dive into this topic and share their observations about the patterns they have seen in the words people have chosen as their 'word of the year' in the past, and how those patterns may relate to the energy of the current year, 2023. Throughout the episode, Matt and Garrett discuss the importance of having a simple, overarching focus for the year, the potential benefits of choosing one word to encapsulate that focus, and how to choose such a word for the coming year. They also discuss how to use the word to reflect on past weeks for making changes to the present and future, and highlight the fact that it should be something that is looked at weekly and used as a guide for everything that is done. Listen in today to learn how to keep your word of the year simple, and always aligned with the goal of moving forward and creating a vision for the future.

"And so anybody who doesn't go through our coaching or anybody who's newer to Ninja, one of the things we like to focus on is helping people just have one simple word for the year." "I need to make sure that my week looks bite sized, that I have things broken down into chunks." "I need to make sure that my schedule looks like I am doing things with intention." "The whole point of the word of the year is something that you are looking at weekly, and it is a guiding word for everything you do." "You should look at your week that you've planned for yourself and look at your guiding word and say, 'Okay, do these correlate, do these resonate with each other?'" "One word allows you to have that moment of realization of the past, and it allows you to have this vision of what we're creating now for this new week to say, 'Okay, how can I protect myself now with this bubble?'"     Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at [email protected] Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett [email protected] @ninjaredding   Matt [email protected] @matthewjbonelli     The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study
