THE FIRED UP PATH
7 Steps to Self-Leadership Mastery
I’m thrilled to share my 7 step formula with you for self-leadership success. These 7 steps derive from the FIRED UP acronym and I’m sure you will agree that they fit perfectly.
STEP 1:
Find Your Fire
The very first step to self-leadership success is finding passion and purpose in your vision for your life. Ideally, you find that fire in your current role. It can be as simple as reconnecting with the reason you took that role and with your vision for you in that role. But the most important thing is that your vision EXCITES you. I’m talking ‘fire in your belly’ excitement. That means it should challenge you too. Tune in to this short video training to help you to find your fire.
STEP 2:
Ignite Your Inner Leader
Once you connect with that fire inside of you, you’ve got to ignite your inner leader to make sure that you execute your vision.
The best approach is to reverse engineer the process. Imagine you have achieved your vision already. Who are you? What habits do you have? What beliefs and thoughts do you have? How are you leading yourself?
Know that version of you so well that you can step into it with ease. Tune in to this short video to learn how you can ignite your inner leader.
Step 3:
Revolutionize Your Thinking
The saying ‘rule your mind or it will rule you’ is truer than true. Your thoughts create your reality. The person you are now is a result of the thoughts you have been thinking up to now. Those thoughts created feelings. You acted on those feelings and the result you have now is you.
To master self-leadership, it is imperative that you revolutionize your thoughts. You will need to identify the thoughts that are holding you back and identify the ones that will move you closer to that type of leader you want to lead yourself with.
Step 4:
Ego Dissolution
The ego is that pesky part of of us that sabotages everything. Its job is to keep us separate. It’s favorite past-times are comparison, superiority or inferiority (anything to be separate from others), self-judgment, judgment of others, complaining and feelings of lack.
It’s what causes the ‘every man for himself’ culture in a workplace which causes division and mistrust.
Underneath our ego is our true nature. When you are connected with your true nature and you lead yourself from there, everything changes.
Step 5:
Discipline Activation
Mastering self-leadership is mastering discipline. You will be tempted and distracted by so many diversion on your fired up path. It’s important that you stay focused and eliminate all the potential distractions that can sabotage you. It’s important to list the essential things you need to do in order to achieve your vision. Then schedule them into your calendar and STICK TO IT. Your calendar will be your boss. This is a vital action to master self-leadership.
Step 6:
Unleash Your Quantum Self
To really go all in and 10X your results, you’ve got to go quantum. The best teacher of the quantum field is Dr Joe Dispenza. His work (which is a mixture of meditation and breaking habits of thinking) gets unbelievable results - literally! Your mission, for step number 6, if you accept it, is to read Dr Joe’s books plus check out the hundreds, if not thousands, of testimonials from those who healed themselves by going quantum. But it doesn’t just work for healing, it works for achieving fired up visions too. If you feel resistance to his work, then check out Dr Benjamin Hardy’s book called 10X is better than 2X.
Step 7:
Perfectionism Begone
Perfectionism is a massive saboteur when it comes to leadership growth. It results in stuckness and even shame because you are not taking the steps you know will serve you. It’s basically fear of how you will be perceived if you draw outside the lines. You might have learned as a child that it was not safe, so you avoid taking risks. The problem with that is that risk-taking is a necessary part of self-leadership mastery and with leading others. In my work with clients, I help them to release this fear and to manage their states when they take risks that will benefit them.
The good news is it can be overcome, especially if you work on dissolving your ego.
