What Is In Your September Plan?

August 17, 2017 By kwmccarthy


(This video mentions the year 2010. No matter the year, having a September plan is good for your business.)

Summer is almost over.

Many of us are just returning from vacation and others are just getting ready to close out the summer by heading on vacation. We’re executing on our family and personal plans put in place some months ago. Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?

September in the Northern Hemisphere provides a restart of sorts.

It isn’t like New Year’s Day, but in a sense it can function much like it because it gives us the opportunity to finish the year strong. September is a time to reboot the business.

From now until New Year’s Eve is a great stretch to really make strides in your career or business.

But you need a plan. So let’s talk about a September Plan.

With just a couple of weeks left in August, let’s get our heads ahead of the game and start making plans today for September through the remainder of the year.

  • What do you want to accomplish?
  • Who do you need to see?
  • What decision do you need to make?

Plan now and you’ll hit September in full stride and have the momentum to carry you through the fall and into the first days of winter.

What Are Your Answers To Life’s Great Questions?

September 3, 2013 By kwmccarthy



Dare You Risk Leading Your Life Better?

The On-Purpose Leader Experience Early Bird Savings End Sept. 4

Click the links at the bottom of this post and the discounts will already be applied.

Here they are: The 7 Great Questions about life that haunt us until we answer them, deny them, or simply overwhelm them in a soulless chase for gain and/or pleasure. 

  1. Who am I?
  2. Why am I here?
  3. Where am I going?
  4. How will I get there?
  5. What is important?
  6. Is life meaningful?
  7. Does God exist?

You may think, With all I have to get done, I realistically don't have time to mess with these questions. Here's a tip for life: until you begin answering these questions, they will mess with your life. The sooner you start, the better off you'll be.

Don't put your life on hold until you have definitive answers. Simply, explore your possibilities. Make it a joyous adventure of daily discovery as the layers of your life unfold before you with a sense of wonder and excitement.

Think it's impractical with all you've got going on? Hardly! There's a hard dollar cost to being off-purpose that is costing you in very real terms. Stop wasting your life in trivial pursuits.

Answers to these questions fill in the soul gaps—those places within us that we know are there, but aren't quite sure we want to or know how to get there. It can be a scary place to visit, like a closet of dashed hopes, painful memories, unrealized dreams, disappointments, and pain. On the other hand, it is also a journey of hope and healing to the heart of who you authentically are. Here's the only place on the planet where you can discover your true identity and begin the process of re-orienting your life on the strength, function, and contribution you have to give. Transformation begins in the spirit. Knowing and bringing expression to your purpose will raise the spiritual and practical trajectory of your life forever.

The On-Purpose Leader Experience starts with you. Come as you are. None of us have it together. We're all dysfunctional to some degree. Let the one who doesn't have a measure of chaos, confusion, hurt, distress, worry, or pain cast the first stone. TOPLEX Logo

Join this six-week conversation (Sept. 24 – Oct. 29) that includes peer-to-peer interactions, phone and online on-purpose coaching from me, and more. Once a week we have a 30-40-minute live webcast that is recorded for replay later. You'll walk the steps of the man in The On-Purpose Person. You will:

  • Connect with on-purpose persons in creation in our private social network: The On-Purpose Planet
  • Write your two-word purpose statement
  • Clarify your core wants
  • Identify your TOP Want
  • Participate in live webcasts with me
  • Have access to webcast replays 24/7
  • Develop a meaningful time management approach
  • Get answers to the 7 Questions above

Here's a fun, easy-to-do, and efficient way to sound deeply into the spirit of who you are. What's more, you'll be creating systems and strategies that will save you time, help you to make better decisions, and eliminate costly detours. The upside is amazing. You'll discover:

  • Refreshing clarity and rare focus in your life
  • Authentic alignment from your heart outward
  • Clearer thinking to make wiser decisions
  • Renewed strength and energy
  • The abundance of being who you are and meant to be
  • An internal gyroscope to guide you

On-Purpose Leader Experience: Webcast 1 Replay

July 28, 2010 By kwmccarthy

“What am I going to do when I grow up?” 

It is funny
when we say it, yet the price of not really knowing who we are as
grown-ups is needlessly expensive to every aspect of our lives.

I
get it!  You’re stretched to the max and burdened under more
commitments than you have time.  Life is wrapped so tight, that you’re
not sure where to begin with making your life make sense.

Now, you
can test drive The On-Purpose Leader Experience
which is based on
The On-Purpose Person.  Listen and watch the replay of the
introductory webcast by CLICKING HERE.   You will be taken to
the replay page.   Be
sure to click on “SLIDES” in the upper left hand
corner so you can watch and listen.

The program includes
five
remaining webcasts, replays, and web site support.

Experience what it
means to be on-purpose and to be in a community of on-purpose persons in
creation for the six plus weeks while the Experience is happening.  The next Experience begins on September 8, 2010.   Preregistration is now open.  You can also register here.

Be On-Purpose!

Authorship: Making Yourself Write

June 30, 2010 By kwmccarthy

The Writing processImage by brainpop_uk via Flickr

About once a week a would-be writer approaches me to ask for my pearls of wisdom for how to write a book.  The answer is simple: start, finish, edit, rewrite, edit, share, rewrite, and stop short of being totally satisfied.  (Tip: You will never be completely satisfied.)

The first step, "Start!" is the most difficult.  After that the Finish step is the most difficult, followed by the edit step… you get the picture.  Writing is work folks. 

I stumbled upon 50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work, an article by Jerry Oltion.  It offers great advice for getting the writing process started.  These 50 strategies are accurate and spiced with humor.  

So read (oh, yes, and apply) Jerry Oltion's advice.  Surely, there is at least one of these strategies to get your book started sooner rather than later.  So now you know how to write a book – easy wasn't it? 

How to sell a book?  First, the writing is the easy part.   Need I say more?

Who is the happiest person you know?

July 21, 2009 By kwmccarthy

"Who is the happiest person you know?"  It was a simple question.   The answer, however, proved to be more challenging than I imagined.

  • What is your definition of happiness?
  • Who is the happiest person you know and why?
