Summary

Are there things you know you should have finished but you keep putting them off? The bad news is it’s only going to get harder, because the more open loops you have, the more your performance suffers. In this Mindset Monday, I show you the first step to closing those loops. Hint: it’s a question and you may already know it, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful.

0:00.0	Have you ever found yourself with just simply too many open loops, too many incomplete projects,
0:06.6	too many things you know you need to do, but you simply haven't gotten to it.
0:10.4	Here's the challenge.
0:11.4	When you have a bunch of open loops, it actually negatively impacts your performance.
0:15.3	It actually stops you from doing the things that you love, the things that you know work,
0:19.2	the things that ultimately make you the money and give you the joy that you desire.
0:22.9	So I would challenge you right now on this Monday to ask yourself, who am I incomplete
0:27.4	with?
0:28.4	What are the open loops I have?
0:29.9	Who do I need to communicate to?
0:31.6	What are the projects that are just looming over here that I know if I just get it done,
0:35.8	send the email, finish the project, I'm just going to feel better.
0:39.0	And it's like that monkey on my shoulders, if you will, metaphorically is suddenly free
0:43.8	and released.
0:44.8	Those parachutes that you're trying to run, but they're just stopping you from being at
0:48.9	your very best.
0:50.5	Big shout out to my friend Saul up in Washington.
0:52.7	He was the first one that shared this with me, close the loops, complete the projects,
0:58.2	get it done, and watch how it impacts your performance.
