Focusing on what’s most important right now

Focusing on what’s most important right now

Focusing on what’s most important right now

Posted by Mindy Diamond

A special message from Diamond Consultants

Times like these are both unprecedented and challenging. What advisors and clients alike crave more than anything is stability—and volatile market conditions and a global pandemic certainly provide anything but that.

Yet in the midst of all this uncertainty, I find myself searching for ports in the storm—the things that ground me most and give me a sense of control.

So for me that means…

Taking care of myself the best I can by exercising regularly, eating right, and getting plenty of sleep.

Understanding the difference between what I can control and what I can’t, and taking life one day at a time.

And, of course, keeping plenty of hand sanitizer and alcohol-based wipes at the ready.

Yet it’s a piece written by Dan Sullivan, Strategic Coach® founder and president, addressing the uncertainty which followed the horrific events of 9/11 that I find most inspiring and still relevant today.

His 10 strategies teach us to keep the focus on opportunities—even when the world is at its most turbulent.

  1. Forget about yourself; focus on others.
  2. Forget about your commodity; focus on your relationships.
  3. Forget about the sale; focus on creating value.
  4. Forget about your losses; focus on your opportunities.
  5. Forget about your difficulties; focus on your progress.
  6. Forget about the “future”; focus on today.
  7. Forget about who you were; focus on who you can be.
  8. Forget about events; focus on your responses.
  9. Forget about what’s missing; focus on what’s available.
  10. Forget about your complaints; focus on your gratitude.

While uncertainty is the watchword for now, one thing does remain certain: We are here to answer any questions you have today and down the road.

Now and always, we wish you good health and the calm to weather the storm.
