WHAT WOULD YOUR FUTURE SELF THINK?🌟
Eric Peterson mentioned this a few weeks ago in the Lucrative Landscaping Facebook Group, and this concept has definitely been useful for me in more than a few instances so I wanted to bring it to the forefront.
Not to sound cliche… but at the end of the day, we are our own best friends. We have to look out for ourselves. And I’m not saying this in a “me before you” kind of way, so here are a few examples:
Got resistance about crunching your numbers? → What would your future self think?
IMO - Our future selves would probably be pretty happy in a few months/years down the line if we got our books in order. (We NEED this to create a sellable business, even if we aren’t planning on selling for many years/decades, etc)
Resistant to setting long-term career goals? → What’s your future self’s perspective?
I suspect our future selves would look back with appreciation if we laid out our career goals now. (Having a clear career trajectory today paves the way for professional success in the future.)
Dreading the thought of planning your meals for the week? → What would your future self say?
In my opinion, our future selves would thank us profusely if we took the time to plan our meals for the week today. (This not only ensures a healthier diet but also relieves the daily stress of figuring out what to eat.) Krista and I have also done this for periods of time and we are always so relieved and thankful to have food ready to eat and not have to think about it during a busy day.
How could this apply to things you feel resistant toward?
Onward and upward, my friends!
