“MOVE THE NEEDLE”

For many of us, there's a constant need to ensure that our efforts translate into meaningful outcomes.

It's not just about being busy, but it's about strategically focusing on the essential tasks that actually propel us forward. Moving the needle is a deliberate choice to concentrate on actions that bring about significant impact and progress.

Here’s 5 questions to ask yourself:

1) How do I currently prioritize tasks to ensure they align with actual goals?

2) What specific metrics do I regularly look at to make informed decisions and gauge the effectiveness of my efforts?

3) Can I articulate the goals and objectives that guide my work?

4) In what ways do I promote efficiency over mere busyness?

5) Am I a person that loves to learn?

💭 QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Real failure comes from when you trade what you want most - for what you want at the moment. Sacrificing goals, standards, or potential for instant gratification is a slow burn that crushes you in the end.”

- Phil Beckner

💬 VERSE OF THE DAY

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

- Romans 8:37

I pray that your day is full of reminders of God’s love and faithfulness. May you faithfully build your life on Christ.

“But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

To God be the glory,

Coach T
