What Impacted My 2023 + What Could Change Your 2024
The one practice I started that made 2023 my most successful year yet, and an exclusive invitation to what could change your 2024.
As you read today, you’ll find one practice you can put in place right now and an invite to a project that I’ve spent years dreaming up.
A couple of weeks ago, I told you about this one practice I do everyday that changed my perspective and drive throughout 2023.
I took my big goals and, instead of being overwhelmed and not knowing where to start, I created daily smaller goals that would lead to the accomplishments I was after.
It’s called a Prize Fighter Day (PFD) mentality.
Here’s a quick recap:
The PFD is designed to help you focus on the two or three main actions you can control to help you achieve your personal and professional goals while also doing at least one act of service for someone else each day. Big goals take big action. These PFD actions should challenge you.
What are your goals? What are the main strategies you can do every day that, over time, will help you achieve your goals?
Examples of PFD Strategies
Professionally: Make a certain number of points of contact. Ask for referrals a certain amount of times each day. Have a certain number of meetings each week with key members of your team.
Personally: Workout for a certain amount of time. Read a certain amount of pages. Sleep a certain number of hours per night.
Acts of Service: Intentionally do one thing every day for someone else. The Bible calls us to serve others before ourselves and there’s a lot of research out there about how doing things for other people increases your overall joy in life.
Here’s some accountability: Have you taken time to figure out what those few controllable strategies are for you yet?
Why is this mentality so effective?
If you really spend time thinking about what you can control that drives you toward your goals you can create a repeatable, trackable process to help win! Consistently doing the right challenging thing while the competition gets complacent is what will set you apart!
My business coach, Ben Newman, taught me the PFD Mentality. It was so effective for me, I knew I wanted my clients and other leaders to know it, too.
A major unexpected reward of the PFD is that personally judging my success only based on what I can control (doing my PFD) made me feel less anxious and stressed about all that keeps being thrown my way as a husband, dad, business owner, financial advisor, etc.
I also got with Ben on a project that’s been on my mind to do for years. I knew this was the year to launch it, to stop being afraid of it and just go for it…
What Could Change Your 2024
As a member of this newsletter community, I’m releasing the details to this event to you first!
I have conversations almost daily with a lot of high-level, like-minded people who want to grow. But I know sometimes the pursuit of growing can be lonely.
And we can easily make mistakes along the way that “if we would have only known” - we wouldn’t have made. What if we could connect with others running similar races as us?
My goal with The Summit is to bring a community of like-minded people together to learn from great leaders while we take a huge step in reaching our full potential.
I just don’t want to waste what I know we’re capable of. 2024 is going to be a rocket year for so many of you - I just want to be a part of building the launch pad.
There are limited tickets available, so I wanted to make sure you get access first. I would be honored to have you a part of it!
Because I want you there + you’re a member of this community - I’m offering an incredible early bird promo code to this first Summit event. Shoot me an email at mark.pancratz@nm.com so I can get you that discount code!
