I want to share with you one last questions I find it works well to check in either at the end of the day or the next morning and ask… “What percent did I give?” …or if you prefer “What percent did I deliver?” Ask yourself from a curious, kind, loving and non judgmental place Maybe take a breath and relax before you ask it Then take a moment, still in that kind place to compare the percent you committed to with the percent that you gave *** Chapter FIVE: Daily Worksheet Day Number Date What would it look like if you were to give 100% today?

This one could make a difference in a lot of people’s lives and unlike most of my other BIG ideas, it’s relatively simple It all began last year when after a pretty amazing year I pondered the question, with my coach, what did I 100% The question sat and sat and sat until finally my coach offered… “Well you quit drinking” Yes I did! That was a clear cut example I could wrap my head around With drinking (alcohol that is) you are either drinking or you are not, so gauging 100% was simple What about all the other ideas, strategies, projects I had going on? Not so simple Now I want to be clear here, I am not saying that I didn’t a lot of wonderful things in 2009 However what became abundantly clear to me was that there was a huge gap between my expectations and reality After that I just began asking myself, "What would 100% look like?" about everything I could As I set goals, planned my day or thought about an upcoming project The more I did this, the more I realized that there were tangible things that defined 100% for me I also realized that by raising my awareness and asking myself "What would 100% look like?" I could immediately see whether my expectations were realistic A great example of this was when I sat down to create a goal list/project list for the week I wrote down a bunch of to-do's and then looking at the list asked myself "What would 100% look like?" This fleshed out the to-do list considerably I then looked at the weekly to-do list and realized that is was a month or more worth of activity Putting it into perspective like this then enabled me to prioritize the tasks and set some realistic goals and priorities As you can see giving 100% is not about pushing yourself harder and as I like to call it "white knuckling" through a project I see it as a simple tool that once incorporated into your life shifts your way of being By being clear and specific you can enjoy more balance, easily prioritize and feel the joy and satisfaction of your accomplishments along the way By asking yourself “What would it look like if I gave 100%” today at the beginning of every day you can live more fully This is not about work or life or goals, this is about living What would 100% look like on vacation, what would 100% of taking care of yourself on a sick day, look like… Then you intentionally decide what percentage you would like to give Giving 100% is not the objective, the objective is to intentionally decide and to be realistic about your expectations To set yourself up for success, joy and fulfillment in everything you What I think is so beautiful about this simple question is that it can work for everyone to bring balance and fulfillment into their life, almost like a reset switch or a way of re-calibrating Whether you are a high achiever or a procrastinator it bridges the gap between expectations and possibility for you Once I thought about this more and more and more I realized that it also brings you into the present moment, tunes you into your intuition and after you have asked the question a few times on a regular basis it shift your habits and behavior At the beginning of this year I made “What would 100% look like” one of my guiding principles for the year Then it sat on the back boiler My husband, Kirk has been out of work for almost a year He is a trooper, busting his ass every day but as a lot of you can also appreciate it’s tough Two nights ago a lay in bed thinking and what I realized was I haven’t been giving 100% I’ve been giving about I then started thinking what if I were to focus on 100% for 100 days I am hoping you can are beginning to see how exciting this is Try to imagine 100 days of 100% What I mean by that is asking yourself “What would 100% look like today?” for 100 days (not necessarily consecutive, you can play any way you like here) What impact would that have on your life you suppose? I can only begin to imagine how powerful that would be ******************* Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times Napoleon Hill ****************** ****************** First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination Napoleon Hill ***************** Chapter SEVEN: FAQ’S Do I have to the 100 days consecutively? No If you deliberately, or unconsciously skip a day a week or even a year, no big deal You are still in the game Do I have super powers? Unless you super powers on a regular daily basis the answer is no When you are defining what 100% would look like for you, it is you right now Am I defining my 100% on my ideal day? No It is the day you have in front of you right now, on the calendar Not a generic or ideal day, today What does this have to with building my business? One of the biggest challenges my clients come to me with is lack of consistency Honestly consistency is even more important than quality in marketing your business or career 100% is a beginning, a powerful step forward on the journey of consistency and balance If you want to deepen the learning and really invest in creating solid habits and building your business right the first time, the best next step for you is to join Momentum PRO For an annual fee, Momentum PRO gives you full access to three of my most powerful programs and will guide you step by step through the process of taking stock, creating a solid vision for your life AND your business and then creating a step by step action plan for the next twelve months You also get 30 days of group support and SIX one on one laser coaching sessions with me to support you through the six modules of The Foundation Program When I define 100% for today should I create a list of stuff I would like to get done? It is completely up to you I find some days I write a list, some days I write done a state of being I would like to embody Some days it might be things I want to and some days things I don’t want to Play with this for yourself each day I think it works well to write it in the past tense though, as if it has already played out I’m a perfectionist; won’t this just put more pressure on me to more? I have found that after a little while (it’s different for everyone how long it takes) there is a shift that takes place which bridges the gap between your perhaps high or low expectations and what is truly possible At first you may find yourself in that place of pressure but just stick with it and see what happens, I think you will be pleasantly surprised I’m a procrastinator; won’t this just make me feel bad about myself? The way this tool is set up you cannot fail If you skip a few days ,no big deal If you want to give 25%, that’s fine or even 0% You are under no pressure to perform which I believe releases the pressure that can immobilize you At first you will probably be skeptical of this, but hang in and keep going Each day is a new opportunity a blank sheet for you to play with This gives you the freedom to take baby steps, to play with your commitment level and bridge the gap Isn’t 100% a unrealistic expectation? Aren’t you just setting yourself up for failure? Perhaps, maybe you will be disappointed at first with your level of productivity Every day we walk around with our standard of 100% (whatever that means to u)s We may have created our own standard or adopted someone else’s who has been instrumental in our lives It is unspoken, nagging in the background and making us feel bad about ourselves By putting it on the table we take away its power It may take a while for you to even understand what 100% is for you, this tool will empower you to define your standards and then evaluate them to see if they are working for you or against you ### About the author Motivate Myself is a women’s success coaching company designed to transform your ideas into vision, action and profitability Founded in 2005 by Marianne Emma Jeff, Motivate Myself offers a range of one-to-one and group coaching services for women embarking on their first venture and established entrepreneurs developing the next phase of their business Every Motivate Myself service is about taking CONSISTENT ACTION!
