(And what to write on yours)

A few years back, I was on a Zoom call with my coach, Beth Marhefka and had a pretty significant breakthrough.

She said, “Today we are going to help you become the CEO of your life, not just in business.”

I wrote my goals, the names of my closest allies, and some affirmations to live by.

By the end of our session, I had Post-its everywhere, so much so I could barely see the surface of my desktop, the real one, not the computer, lol.

A week later, I booked a $5K/month client for four months, which led to $20K. I was hired to help an emerging stem cell company, and I was doing less work than all my other lower-paying clients.

The Post-it didn’t land the client; I did, but it certainly helped me get out of my head and into action.

You can do the same.

A $2 pad of Post-its can do a lot of things …

  • Help you get a new client.

  • Save your marriage before that huge legal fee.

  • Bring you closer to those you love.

The clock is ticking … as 2027 is about 9 more weeks away.

Now let’s formulate a simple plan to make the most of them with the following:

  • Two questions that pick your five names

  • Five different ways to reach them (one goes on coffe maker or fridge)

  • Three Post-Its I still write myself that continue to pay dividends.

Are you ready to take back tomorrow? LFG!!
