![]() Ironically, I’m a wizard at spreadsheets and financial reports! So even though I’ve been able to run financial calculations and create reports and spreadsheets relevant to the sales world…I had compartmentalized that outside of the traditional accounting and finance segment of my business leading me to think I was weak in that area! But even as I write this now, I had all of the tools in my toolbox the whole time to be successful at having a better grasp on the accounting and finance portions of my business! It was the stories I kept telling myself inside which limited me from reaching into the toolbox and actually using it! Let’s get back to the wheel! Have you ever had an experience where everything seems to be flowing well? You’re on top of all of your work, with nothing falling behind? What about the other way around? Remember those times where it feels like everything is piling on top of you? I know I have! This is why the business wheel has been so impactful for me! It is such a simple tool… yet when used, I am always amazed at how it creates attention and focus.Īnd it’s that focus that makes all the difference in the world!Īs I said earlier… accounting and finance is not my strongest area! This is a story I’ve been telling myself for as long as I can remember. What about you? What areas are you naturally strong in? And what areas do you struggle in? ![]() As you can imagine, the score on each of these segments varies week to week based on the performance and focus we had the week before.Īs you can also imagine… sometimes these segments will reflect what you are naturally good at! Take a look at me for example… my education is in marketing… and I’m very good at sales… so guess which two segments come naturally for me to score high in? On the other end… accounting and finance will always be a weakness or opportunity for me unless I give it the attention and focus that it deserves! When I personally use this wheel for my business life, I focus on the following areas:Īt the beginning of every week, I sit down with my business wheel and map out a current snapshot of where I think I stand in my business life at that moment in time. I will traditionally use a wheel with 5 to 7 segments, but you aren’t limited to just those! You are also not limited to personal enrichment categories either! In fact, the reason I am sharing this with you this holiday season is to help you better manage your work life as well!Įmbark on 2019 with a great tool to better manage your business life! This creates a great visual representation of which areas you are currently striving in and which areas of your life could really use your attention!

This person is scoring highly in their health and relationship segments at this current time. Let’s take a look at the segment wheel above. ![]() One of the analogies that really stuck with me was imagining that this is a wheel on your car of life! If your wheel is anything like the sample above, you could tell this would not be a very smooth ride! You might be able to roll on it slowly (because you already are), but once you start to pick up speed…this ride gets very rough. The idea of this wheel is that once completed… you’ll be able see which areas of your life you’re thriving in, as well as certain segments of your life that could use more attention and improvement. The example below shows a Wheel of Life with segments that you can use to measure your quality of that targeted area. The Wheel of Life is a tool that Tony developed to help you learn to build a more “rounded” life. Most of you know I was recently in Fiji for a Tony Robbins Life Mastery program that truly took my life to the next level! If you have consumed any content from Tony Robbins, there’s a good chance that you have seen, or even used, his “Wheel of Life”. ![]() I shared this idea with others like yourself, in hopes that this practice might help you take a moment to capture special moments that happen to you and your family on a weekly basis.Īs we approach the Holiday Season…I wanted to share another gift with you! In November for Thanksgiving, I wrote an article introducing “Magic Moments”, a tradition I instilled with my family to share special events and moments from the prior week.
