Create Your Battle Board! (My Secret to Productivity)

Hey all, it's me.

I'm in the office right now and people are always asking how I plan out my life and get things done. And I have this concept I want.

To teach you called the battle board.

And I really believe if you're going to do any major projects in your life or try to achieve your dreams, you need one of these battleboards. I recently talked about it in one of our HBX coaching trainings. That's where I go live every single month and teach you kind of advanced personal development concepts. So watch this training on, on my.

Battleboard concept and make sure you get.

One set up in your house and then share it somewhere that we can see it on social media, on Instagram, or on Facebook, because I'd love to see what your battle boards look like. Enjoy the training.

Create your battleboard. Create your battleboard. Right? Write it down. Create your battleboard. What does that mean? Here's what it means. If I could, through the Internet, I and show up in your house right now, could you take me by the hand and show me a wall in your house that clearly outlines and shows what you are working for and towards by the end of 2019? Maybe you call it a visual vision wall, maybe you call it a mission wall, maybe you call it your, you know, your war room. But is there somewhere, can you show me on a wall visually in your house? Not on your computer, not in your little phone, you know, not on this one little note that you tuck away and you hide from everybody else so they don't see what you're working on? No. Show me a wall with your battle plan. See, so many people don't break through. And they don't break through because what's end up happening for them is so often they're in this place where, you know, unfortunately, the truth is, the truth is they didn't have a plan and they won't talk about it and they won't say anything to anybody. And yet, if you get down to it, you start coaching, you start working with them, you find out they didn't have a plan. They did not have a plan. So I think it's important that you realize the value of having your battle plan. Right? So a battle board. What's a battle board? If I showed you your house, you would have a wall somewhere. Maybe it's a, you know, maybe you wrote it on a regular eight and a half by 11. Or if you saw it in my room, it's like I went to, I literally got like butcher paper and I take you Know, some blue tape. And I strap this thing. No, I strap this thing on this butcher tape across the wall. And what is on that wall? There's 12 boxes on that wall, ladies and gentlemen. What's on that battleboard? 12 boxes. What's each box? Yep, a month. Each box represents one month. And within that box, one. What do I have written down? The goals that have to happen that month, the metrics that have to happen that month, the steps I'm going to take that month, the key activities of that month, right there on the Battleboard. Y' all got it. So. And I've seen a lot of these from clients before. I'll walk in, and there's their Battleboard, you know, and they might have a fancy one made out of burlap and text and beautiful Instagram. Ready Battleboard. And here's what they got. They got their mission statement across the top, and then they've got on there a reminder of the three words of who they want to be as a person. You know, enthusiastic, bold, present. Oh, I like that. Then they got the 12 boxes. Oh, look, in July. Here's the numbers they're trying to hit. Here's what they're trying to do in August, here's what they're trying to do in September. And on that Battleboard, it might be the most simple things. It might be in September event coming up. Okay, what are they doing before the event? Here's the five steps. Okay. October, what are they doing? They're taking the vacation. Here's what's going on. But visually representing your battle plan that's on a wall that you see all the time is so important. I cannot tell you how many people fail to do this. And I think it's unfortunate, because if I know many of you have been in corporate America before, if you've ever worked at the senior leadership level, they've got, you know, war rooms dedicated towards this. You know, I've had the blessing of being in the White House multiple times. I've had the blessing of being at NASA. I've had the blessing of being at some of the biggest companies in the world. And when I work with these executives, they dork out on, oh, here's what we're working on, Brendan. And there's a board. I just call it the Battle Board. And they're right on. The Battle Board is everything they are working towards and moving towards. And I see that Battleboard, and I know them, and I know they're going to achieve it. And I think it's important if you Ever been a member? I know we have a lot of members of the, of the US Military here. Congratulations. And we represent and honor your service. And I will tell you what I mean, you guys, we respect you so much, but I love the military at this. They put a bunch on a board, everyone stands around, talks about it, right? In your business, I'm sure you got a whiteboard somewhere. But here's the issue. A lot of people have a whiteboard in their house, in their home, in their office, and it's empty all the time. Or they use it once in a while. No Battleboard permanent plan for achieving what this year. So if you don't have that, give yourself the gift. Go get some butcher paper or big poster board, tape it up, get some blue tape so it doesn't rip off your paint, tape it up on a wall, draw a box. July, August, September, October, November, December, and get razor clear. What are your monthly or your weekly goals? What's going to be on there? What are you achieving? What are you working towards? Because some of you, the reason you haven't doubled your progress this year, your eye keeps getting taken off the game plan. You lose yourself in this. So many people listen. I guess the average person now picks this up over 80 times a day. They pick up the phone 80 times a day and look at it, and look at it, and look at it. But ask them, did you look at your battle plan for the year? Do you know where you're at this month? What's next month? And they can't even say yes. And you're like, this is a challenge. This is the problem, my friends. So let's get better at this. Create your Battleboard hpx. I want to see this. I want you to create your battle board in your house. No matter what you write on there, I want you to take a picture on it. I want you to put it into our Facebook group. We just call it my Facebook group, Brennan's Awesome. Students, if you're not a member, just hit reply to any of my emails. Ask my team to join our Facebook group. If you're not in our Facebook group for this program, get in there and post your pictures. Show us your battleboards. We want to see them right? Put it on. Put up on social media, on Instagram if you want to, you know, Battleboard HPX. Life love to see your battleboards. You gotta have a board up. You gotta have a board up. How are you gonna win if you don't have a board up? You know, I always loved if you ever visit the Stock exchange, old school, down on the stock floor. And you looked up and they got all the numbers ticking across there. It tells everybody on the floor what to pay attention to, what to do. Now we've advanced beyond that obviously, but there's some symbolism in that. And I just believe so many people, it's not that they don't even. I mean, listen, did you look at your goals every day this year? Every day. Did you look at your goals every day this year? It's such a simple question. Every day. I don't mean once in a while every day. And if you didn't, my invitation to you is to consider the fact that maybe the amount of time that you're spending with your goals is not sufficient enough to motivate you. Maybe the amount of time you're spending with your goals is not sufficient enough to keep you focused. Maybe the amount of time you're spending with your goals is not sufficient enough to activate that unconscious brain that says, huh, I know how to achieve that. Maybe it's the reason you're not coming up with more ideas in the shower in the morning. Because you're not queuing your brain with enough representation or enough, sorry, repetition, looking at your specific goals. Because when you look at your specific goals over and over and over and over again, day after day after day after day, it literally helps rewire your brain and it helps program your brain to say, oh, let me pay attention to ideas, thoughts and feelings I have consciously and unconsciously that might be able to manifest these goals. This is why having a visual representation of what you are after and looking at it every day is so critical to all of personal development training of all time. But why is it that so many people still don't do it? They just get caught up. More people look at other people's Instagram every day than they do their own goals. And we wonder why so many people are struggling to achieve things faster. Let's get you back on your plan. Let's get you back on you moving forward. Because you're paying attention to what is necessary for your life. Your goals every day. Best of all, if you have your goals. I appreciate a list of goals, but I'd rather see it chart it out on a page. There it is. Monthly goals, major activities. Got it.

Mission statement.

Okay.

Three words that define who I am.

Okay. My values. Great. Something up on that board that you look at and you go, there's my life. That's what I'm working towards today.
