PAT ALTVATER The Importance of Being Intentional Elite Experts Network AFP Marketing PatAltvater.com The root of the word “intentional” is intent; in a business setting, being intentional is to act in a deliberate way to guide our businesses. It’s about bringing a focus and attention to goals. If we want to be intentional, we need to get clear up front about what we want to achieve and then take specific actions to achieve it. That clarity allows us to know where to focus our time and energy, so that the areas of our business and life that matter the most are getting our attention. Once we are clear about the results we desire, then we can be deliberate about our days. We will know exactly what to do, which increases productivity, if we actually do it. This brings us to the other important aspect – accountability. How can we stay accountable to what we want to achieve? Can we do it on our own or does it help to have an accountability partner or group, like a mastermind? I personally enjoy participating in a mastermind because often the ideas that surface are ones that I may not have considered in the past and knowing that there are others holding me accountable to my commitments does make a difference. What do you do? Let me know. Enjoy the articles in this issue and be sure to take advantage of the links for further information.
