CLARITY KICKSTART: July 21, 2014
If you can’t keep it simple, you probably can’t implement it.

Coaching Tip for the Week:
In what area of your business or career do you feel stuck? What system supports you in that area?
A while ago, I asked this of a client struggling to stay on top of ongoing projects. His approach was so complex and involved that he had a difficult time describing it to me, let alone implementing it. We broke it down into 5 major steps, created a simple flow chart, and he’s been able to stay ahead of the game ever since.
Sometimes, we make things harder than necessary.
This week, choose an area that you just can’t seem to kickstart – maybe it’s marketing, team-building, volunteer management, or financial health. Decide the results you want to have in that area, then look at your current system for making that happen. (Chances are it’s complex, outdated, or nonexistent.)
Challenge yourself – perhaps in partnership with a trusted coach or colleague – to simplify the system so well that a child could implement it. You’re much more likely to stick with it and see the results you desire when your system is simple, clear, and focused.
