First Class CEO Practices

Last week I suggested that you look at the things you value and uplevel the way you value yourself. If you didn’t get that out of last week’s Wednesday With Wayne, I’d invite you to go back to it with that sentence in mind.

 

One way of valuing yourself is to treat yourself as if you mattered.

YOU are the CEO of your own life. You might feel like you are at the mercy of someone else’s agenda. Ultimately, the schedule you set is your own. For every job I had that took me out the door before the sun came up, I had to acknowledge that I chose to do that. No one made me stay in that job. And then, I branched out on my own. And now, I smile at my boss every morning as I look in the mirror. We’ve got this. We’re here to serve greatly: me, myself, and I.

 

Think about being the CEO of your life – the Chief Executive Officer. 

If you had an outside executive land in your life, what would be the first three changes that person would make? 

 

You know what I’d do?

First, I’d look at your schedule. Are you getting enough “me time” in there? Whether that’s for the gym or an afternoon nap, maybe it’s a vacation, or it could just be getting a haircut, do you have that in your schedule THIS WEEK. Yes, every week!

 

Then, I’d look at how you travel when you go anywhere.

Are you ready or do you rush to be ready before the event?

Remember, there’s a lesson buried in here: How you do anything is how you do everything.

 

What are your preferences for when you travel? Are you choosing the discount airline? Remember, I asked “what are your preferences?”

 

Personally, I prefer to be ready, travel comfortably, and arrive refreshed and yes, ready! 

 

First Class CEO Practices come down to choosing, at every step of the way, will this make my life – or someone else’s life – easier or better in some way?

 

Ask yourself that.

Look around your home. Look at the last few purchases. Look at what you’ve had your eye on, too. What have you searched for, maybe even put in an online cart, gone back to look at, and still haven’t gotten it. 

 

This is where CEO Practices overlaps with what I call Listening To The Whispers. What’s been calling to you? What have you put aside that you know you’ll get to “someday?” Step into that now. One step at a time. Step in. Step up. Now do it again.

 

That’s how you get ahead.

That’s how you build a life worth living, one that you actually want to live. You build it or have it built (badly) for you.

 

You choose. (And that’s another First-Class CEO Practice.) You CHOOSE.

 

Start there.

Keep making your magic.

See you here next week.
