Synchronicity is one of the best ways to describe a system that works. Individuals and organizations that achieve synchronicity have achieved a level of balance and consistency that propels success. Gaps are filled and obstacles are overcome when the level of effort is aligned with the desired result.

In this second quarter of the year, you have an excellent opportunity to improve your rhythm. Someone once said, it is not how you start, it is how you finish. Excuses are the greatest reason why most individuals don’t accomplish personal goals.

To consistently produce your desired results, you should thoroughly understand how to establish a pace that is aligned with the destination you want to achieve. Visualize the finish line while eliminating excuses that slow your pace.

Your performance in life is based on your ability to develop a synchronized rhythm. Your rhythmic masterpiece is directly linked to your daily rhythmic practice.

Rhythms for Peak Career Performance

Your rhythm benchmarks are measurements that help to drive accountability. If your goal is to achieve a promotion at work, the rhythm benchmarks you will want to establish include the following:

• Identify specific tasks and systems you need to learn
• Initiate your own training or certification necessary to fulfill the role
• Network with at least two other motivational individuals who are masters in the role

Rhythms for Peak Personal Performance

If your goal is to improve your health, you will want to establish rhythm benchmarks for accountability.  These may include the following:

• Identify resources to improve your knowledge (books, motivational conferences, etc.)
• Initiate a daily standard of excellence for healthy food choices and exercise (what does it look and feel like)
• Network with at least two other individuals who are masters at living a healthy lifestyle

Rhythm Benchmarks for Peak Entrepreneurial Performance

If your goal is to achieve a specific level of income for your business, you may want to include the following:

• Identify new customers/clients with whom you want to do business
• Initiate your learning of how you can help them grow
• Network with motivational individuals who are successful in your industry or business

Although I said it’s not always how you start, it’s how you finish, I fibbed a bit.  It is how you start AND how you finish.  Your rhythm begins as soon as you wake up.  For a moment, consciously think about what you do in the morning to insure your day gets started on the right track.  What could you add to your regimen to make yourself more effective?

• Exercise
• Read something motivational associated with your goal
• Listen to something positive
• Play your favorite song

Keep in mind that your day is filled with distractions that will affect your rhythm.  The first hour of your day can determine your ability to achieve synchronicity.
