Your Power Play for the Week

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to the day that matters most - Monday!

Why is it so important?

Because it sets the tone for everything that follows, from capitalizing on market trades to locking in new clients.

This month, we’re highlighting the power of custom checklists.

Personally, I favor pen and paper for creating tangible value and tracking progress.

Here’s my personal checklist that helps me maintain a top 5% mindset:

  1. Wake Up Early & Mindfully

    • Avoid grabbing your phone first thing; instead, take a few deep breaths or do a quick meditation to anchor your mind.

  2. Engage in Physical Activity

    • Regular exercise boosts mental clarity, discipline, and overall well-being.

  3. Plan & Prioritize

    • Tackle high-impact items first to build momentum and a sense of accomplishment.

  4. Clear Daily Objectives

    • Identify your top three priorities & Schedule time blocks for deep work..

  5. Financial Metrics & Key KPIs

    • Examine what’s driving - or inhibiting - results.

  6. Networking & Relationship Building

    • Reach out to at least one new contact or mentor.

  7. Well-Being & Energy Management

    • Schedule short breaks to reset and avoid burnout.

Put your own checklist in motion this Monday and watch how it transforms your week.
