Protect Your TEA and Others’ Too
We have so many valuable resources that we need to protect- our health, our safety, our family, our relationships, our money, and many more.
Yet few are more squandered that what I’ve coined TEA in our Blackbelt Leadership community.
TEA stands for time, energy and attention.
The combination of resources that this acronym stands for are constantly under attack, too easily lost and as valuable as the rest when it comes to creating our goals and the vision for our desired future.
This is true for our personal and professional goals, and those for ourselves and also the ones we have for our families, teams and others we are charged with stewardship for.
There are 2 things I would like to suggest today.
1. That we need to protect our own time, energy and attention. Protect it from the news, haters, and others that would distract you from your most important roles and goals.
2. Protect the time, energy and attention of your kids, and teams and others.
And, as a bonus, respect the time, energy and attention of other people by not wasting theirs either.
This is especially important with mentors and others that can help you.
When someone does decide to invest TEA in you, value it and respect it.
Tomorrow I’ll write on some of the ways to do that.
In the mean time, see you soon at KMMA!
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
