Get ahead by planning in ten year cycles (not ten minutes!)

There’s a 102 year old American lady called Dr. Gladys McGarey, and what is amazing about her is that, even now, she has a ten-year plan. She checks in on it every day with her friend Rose. In a Times article about her, she was pictured riding her tricycle. I think we should all try to be like Gladys when we grow up!

In this week’s vlog, I chat with Dorie Clark, the author of The Long Game, about how to be a long-term thinker in a short-term world. We discuss:

📅 The dangers of short-term thinking and how it can limit your potential

🧘🏻‍♀️ The HUGE question we should answer to create a meaningful life

🥅 Dorie’s tips on how to set and achieve long-term goals (including her own ambitions)

🚀 How and why Jeff Bezos uses this strategy

Next week:

I’ll share with you the biggest issue I’m focused on this year, why it’s critical for every ambitious team, and what it looks like for my ten-year plan. I’m nervous and excited about it, and look forward to hearing your thoughts and advice.

Please leave a comment below, react and share this post so I can see your thoughts and for you to see my insights on how to get what you want from life.
