My secret life and my 20th work anniversary.
For 12 years, in addition to marketing, I have been working in self-management and mindset, from running a private coaching house, working with high-achieving teams, writing books to being a mindful self-management lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences.
We all have 3 layers in life – public, private, and secret life. I will share a glimpse of my secret life with you. I have also learned ancient medicine and herbs, and for the last 15 years, I have set my new year's focus using the Chinese zodiac. Light me on fire if you want, but it is so 1580 to burn witches!
The Wooden Dragon begins on the 10th of February, so I asked some intelligence from my feng shui people to set the focus this year.
The message was: "Anything is possible. It is the end of a 20-year cycle as we enter the new cycle of 2024–2044. No time to learn theoretical fuzz but to act based on what you have learned in 20 years. Dragon also needs you to balance your passion, skills, income, and what does good for the world."
I looked back. 20 years ago(I was 16!), I started working on a cruise ship as a dishwasher, and in three months, I ran a grill bar there. That was the first time I learned how to work hard and find shortcuts not to do things I hate very long.
So, as a mindset mentor who is also all-in-AI, I created prompts for you to brainstorm your last 20 years and set professional goals in 2024. Open ChatGPT. Copy-paste the prompts in that order. Fill the [brackets].
-----------
❶ "Act as a life coach; let's brainstorm. For the last [years], I have been working [your background]; I loved [name the things], I hated [name the things]. Bring out and analyze the things I love – do not suggest things I hate in the following conversation."
-----------
❷ "Other people say I am good at [good things they say] and bad at [what has caused problems]. Bring out my 3 primary skills and 3 things I should delegate to others."
-----------
❸ "My time goes to [main job]; most money comes from [where the money comes]; I would love to do more [what things]. Give me 3 ideas on how I can make more income doing the things I love.
------------
❹ "As a table, give me 3 things I should focus on to balance my passion, skills, income, and what does good for the world. Add practical habits."
-------------
🐉 Cheers to the year of Wooden Dragon! And buckle up because the Dragon Year's primary phrase is "Never a dull moment."
(Visual from the secret life. Yes. It is homemade herbal liqueur in that fancy cup!)
