Manage Your Energy Like A Pro

​

​In this article, I will share with you the #1 way to ensure you have a breakthrough nearby.  You know, that change, that significant improvement in your thinking, your body, career, or business, that you know needs to happen, but you don’t yet have the mojo and confidence to realize.
 The Pandemic is ending. 

Vaccinations are taking place at a rapid pace. The market is making its comeback. Things are opening, and confidences are increasing for what is likely a return to the speed of life and business we once knew. But for many entrepreneurs—coaches, consultants, and service professionals, startup entrepreneurs and small business owners; those especially in growth companies—returning to the usual previous pace of life may be a little daunting. 
 
It's not like anyone's been sitting around the past year, but the structure of life with working from home and the pace of life as things slowed down and, in some cases shut down, most certainly did change because of the pandemic. Nothing new there, but we've also all had a taste of a new and different life.  For many, these were welcomed changes. The slowdown was a benefit for many people after years of going all out.  For others, at the same time, it was also painful as heck, as they experienced disruption, needed to pivot and transition; and still, for some, it was also a boon and busier than ever.  It was the gamut, but one thing is for sure; in the return to the new normal we live in, especially in a market that will now speed up with all kinds of new responsibilities, you need to manage your energy like a pro.  

​To help us all with that, I introduced the big idea of "Set Yourself up for Success" in a recent mini guide published here on the Chamber Blog last month. I talked about the five lifestyle strategies healthy, high-achieving people embrace to fulfill their ambitious goals and thrive.  Setting yourself up for success means altering the conditions of one's situation, so a particular outcome is all but guaranteed.  For people who thrive, that is their keystone skill. 

So, what is that outcome we want all but guaranteed? 
 
I've been referring to it over the past several months as a "Breakthrough Year," whatever that may be for you—repositioning your business, launching a new aspect of your business or an entirely new business, hitting a higher sales goal, get your business working at a higher level, and having more time off for family etc.  Maybe (likely) post covid-19 you also want to stay healthier than ever before, and no longer feel so stressed, and so tired at the end of the day, that any prospect of sticking with a new lifestyle routine goes right out the door.  Whatever that breakthrough is, you want it, all but guaranteed.

By the way, I for one, always think in terms of a breakthrough year, (12 months ahead) because it converts every day into a chance to change and enhance the year's trajectory; so effectively, every day is "New Year’s Day." 
 
But a "breakthrough" year starts in the here and now, in the present moment, in the minutes, hours, days, and weeks ahead, and requires us to overcome something. The very definition of a breakthrough is overcoming something so a new level of achievement can follow.  And for most of us, that is the order of the day.  

What is it that you/we need to overcome? 
 
For everyone, no matter what your desired breakthrough, where you stand right now, or the level you’re playing at; what you need to overcome is inertia. Inertia is the property of matter where it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion unless a force (usually external) changes that state.  That said, what I'm suggesting that "force" is, the one that will set you free of your current inertia is only in part from the external and is in large part internal; at least that's the way you experience it. 
 
It's Energy. And When You Begin Proactively Sourcing Energy, Enhancing The Production Of Energy, And Harnessing More Of Your Personal Energy, Your Inertia Will Change. 
Picture
It takes energy, lots of it, that needs to be managed if you are going to break free of your current inertia. When you do these three things well, you begin to "Manage Your Energy," so you can overcome any challenge that's keeping you where you are. 
 
In Set Yourself Up for Success, you discover the five lifestyle strategies, also known as "The 5 Core Essentials of Human Performance," and one of those core essentials is Developing a Performance Lifestyle.  All balanced and healthy, high-achieving people have performance lifestyles. First and foremost, they have the energy, because they live in balance (can’t wait for you to discover the new practical, fleshed out definition of balance), which gives them vibrant health and peace of mind, so they can perform at full capacity and with the capabilities they need to achieve their most ambitious goals.
 
And what's the crux (the vital point at issue) in a Performance Lifestyle? It's managing your energy.  Healthy high achievers do more than work out and eat right; they understand energy, and not in a cursory or metaphorical way alone. They understand the energy principles, and practices. They also proactively manage it, but not by sleep alone. They manage it "like a pro" in a whole lifestyle that supports them and what they are up to in the world.  They resolve tiredness and fatigue, evolve, and ultimately align all aspects of the way they live for the energy, health, and performance they need to achieve their goals and quality of life. 

​They Have Mastery Around Human Energy And The Lifestyle That Optimizes Their Human Performance.  

And that is the mindset you need to have a breakthrough.  It's not the usual approach that so many of us take; wake up and go straight to tasks, directly into the process of endless to-do’s around all that we want to achieve, with more personal, professional, and business development top of it all.   That's all good, even noble, but it's not what will create a genuine breakthrough or one that sustains. What I'm talking about precedes all of that. 
 
It starts (and I mean "starts") with leveraging the momentum created by regularly and systematically priming your day with an AM routine, daily approach, and PM wind-down routine to function and perform at your best during peak periods of the week.  Of course, every aspect of a performance lifestyle is optimally "healthy" too," so no need to worry about whether you're living healthy.  Healthy, is a given. 

​My question is, what are your breakthrough goals? And how do you need to "live" to achieve them?  
 
When you learn how to manage your energy, like a pro, and then change, improve, and optimize your lifestyle for the performance level you need to succeed at the level you choose, you start living your full potential. And as a result, you'll have breakthrough after breakthrough, and ultimately, you can achieve your full potential.  So, as our world is making its "comeback," which Chamber member Carl Gould talks about in his fantastic new book, The Anatomy of a Comeback; what I’m saying, is that now is the time to master the art and science of managing your energy, in a performance lifestyle that enables you to do so, like a pro.
 
Instead of going back to the lifestyle that was your previous usual before the Pandemic, where you worked endless days with a bit of “healthy living” wedged in; now, start living in the way balanced and healthy high achieving people live.  That is, by learning how to manage your energy like a pro and developing a performance lifestyle you can call your own. And if you set yourself up for success, entirely, a "high-" performance lifestyle [HPL].
 
In the fitness and wellness industry, learning how to live a high-performance lifestyle is new. Still, HPL it's so much bigger than the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.  
Being in good health is not the goal; it's the objective byproduct of living a lifestyle that is inherently energy, health, and performance-promoting so that you can focus intently on your actual goals, and that is a big breakthrough. 
 
There are 7 Breakthrough Energy Discoveries that have emerged over the last 20-30 years; ever since rampant tiredness, and fatigue began to rise due to the technology-driven, increased pace of life.  When you take them from theory to practice to mastery, they will serve as the rudder to a whole new way of life with surges of energy to power your way from breakthrough to breakthrough.  Your health and productivity suffer most when you get tired, exhausted, and feel like you're burning out. In eight weeks, you can make that a thing of the past and get the edge that makes the difference.
​
  • I want to help all chamber members learn how to manage their energy like the pros do, and if you are bold and ready to learn how you can start here. 

​Starting in April, we run our second 8-week course of the year and people like you will tell you, it will change the trajectory of your year, especially when after your 8 week course, we provide a full year of Performance Lifestyle support!
​
  •  If you want to learn even more before you get started, download Set Yourself up for Success, and I'll invite you to my next webinar. 
 
  •  We can also set up a strategy session. We are a networking organization, so let’s get together, in person (imagine that!) or by Zoom. You can schedule with me here Performance Lifestyle®​ Coach. 
 
Stay Vital!
