You 2.0

You2.0

You 2.0 is a way to unleash a version of your best self.  It cuts to the chase to help you quickly find your purpose, your why, your how, your values, your strengths, and your personal success patterns.  Once you’ve mapped these out, you have a firm foundation to be your best in any situation.  By finding and living your process, you lead a life by design, not by default.

I call it You 2.0 because it’s about renewal and taking yourself to the next level.  A few years back, a friend of mine broke his back.  You can imagine the extreme scenario.  Rather than focusing on trying to get back to where he was, he focused on rebuilding himself to be better and stronger than before.  A version 2.0.

Why You 2.0
Here are a some key benefits:

  • Success by design.  Rather than luck into success, you’ll know your personal combination for results.
  • Living your purpose.  Nothing fuels life like knowing what you want.
  • Living your values.  Living your values help you enjoy more moments in your life, a moment at a time.
  • Playing to your strengths.  When you play to your strengths, you improve your energy, and you amplify your results.  It’s the simplest way to get more impact each day.
  • Improved results.  You’ll improve your results.  A little self-knowledge goes a long way.  You’ll be a better, faster, stronger you for whatever you want.

The real secret is life gets better once you have your personal map.

    One of my mentors shared a beautiful piece of insight with me. I forget what book it was from, but he said that the only time it’s a problem when you miss a train, is when you worry that you missed the train. Otherwise, you just catch the next train. So now’s the perfect time for you to catch the train. All aboard ;)

    [...] Lesson 7. Version Your Perfection. When you try to be your best and you model from excellence, it can be tough to set the right bar at a given point in time.  There’s never enough time and you can never be too good.  Surprisingly, I didn’t learn one of my most important lessons until I joined Microsoft.  version your perfection.  Focus on "good enough for now" and improve with each release.  Getting incrementally better over time is better than never being good enough, or never being ready.  I get from idea to done quickly, and then I improve.  Feedback is your friend.  It’s a learning loop.  I’d rather get the learnings and results from 20 dry runs, than one *perfect* run, that falls short.  Good enough for today, means I’ll be back in the batters box, swinging better tomorrow.  It’s this very lesson that let me have 10 life lessons for now, while I can refine again later, and this is a key concept behind my You 2.0 guide.
