Tweets of the Week: December 2, 2022

You are the best investment you'll ever make.

I want to start this week’s newsletter with a challenge: don’t slip.

It’s easy to watch these final few weeks of the year slip away, but if you want to be successful - don’t let them.

That doesn’t mean overworking yourself, ignoring your family, or pushing your team to the brink of burnout. Instead, think about bringing intention into the last month of the year. How can you show up mindfully, especially in the areas that matter to you? What can you let go of that isn’t working? Where are you most likely to let things slip, and how can you guard against that?

We laugh at clichés like “failing to plan is planning to fail,” but they’re especially true at this time of year - how you plan is how you win. Are you going to slip into 2023? Or are you going to walk in with intention - with purpose - and ready to win?

1. Never underestimate the power of confidence. It can carry you farther than talent or skill.

2. If you want to outperform your competition, stop focusing on what they’re doing and focus on yourself - are you putting in the work?

3. Perseverance and grit are important traits, but don’t let them take you down a path that isn’t serving you.

4. You are your own best investment. Treat yourself accordingly.

5. If you focus solely on what you lack, you risk defining yourself by those weaknesses. Double-down on your strengths, celebrate your wins, and use your achievements as fuel to push you forward.

6. You haven’t missed anything. Just keep going.
