The Only Thing You Need To Remember

Motivation + Ability = Action

(I Want To Do It + I Can Do It = I’m Doing It!)

Motivationi.e. I want to do it

Starts with Self-Awareness

PassionsGet Emotional

It can’t be what someone else tells you to do

Exercise – Who are you?

Without outside expectation? Find your intrinsic motivators.What energizes you?What did you love as a child?Who do you look up to?What problems really pull you?What do you want to say you will have accomplished 20-30 years from now?

Brainstorm:What are some things you

want to accomplish this year?

Abilityi.e. I can do it

Self-Awareness

StrengthsWeaknesses

Exercise – What are you good at?

What are you good at?What were you good at as a child?What do other people say you are good at?What are you not so great at?What do other people say you aren’t good at?

Growth Mindset

“I’m not good at it, and I won’t be” vs“I’m not good at the right now, but I can be”

“I Can Do It” can be grown and taught
