What went well today?

Last week I had a few days where nothing seemed to go right. I was lost, my head wasn't in the game, whatever you want to call it, I was going nowhere fast.

This of course caused problems in other areas of my life (read my personal life) because I was vague about stuff, frustrated and a bit short tempered.

Then I had a thought on Friday; what went well today? I started to list the things that had gone well. Little wins I had had and even compliments people had given Spikemail about our new website (you can see it here).

I felt great. I got my focus back, started to hustle and then in the words of Gary Vaynerchuck stopped crying and crushed it.

This is a simple task to do that will make a huge difference to your life. When you are low write down what went well and read through the list. You can start with getting out of bed and getting into the office on time and go from there. The list will be huge will stop you focusing on the couple of things that didn't go your way and focus on what went well.

Have a terrific day and thank you for reading.

Loved this keynote by Gary Vaynerchuk. Didn't have a clue who he was until a few hours ago and I'm now following him on Twitter, bookmarked his site and watched a few of his vids.

Inspirational stuff for me because people ask me how I get the time to write everyday, or why I haven't missed a Monday in 6 years. It's because I freak'n love it - and they just don't get it. They aren't following their passion.

Best stuff about following your passion and understanding yourself I have heard + the hussle. Get out there and do it. No one is going to kick your arse if you get lazy and that sucks. I am accountable to myself and a few important people because I want to succeed and have BIG dreams and need a boot up the butt everyso often.

This is another one of my rants I know but you will understand when you watch the video.

WARNING: Gary swears - a lot sometimes. If you're watching at work, or the kids or Nana are around, wear headphones.
