During times of unease or uncertainty it is easy to go insular and forget about the people around you. It is important to own your own gratitude, both externally and internally.
We need to OWN that GRATITUDE. What is it that we appreciate about ourselves? What is it that we thank ourselves for doing? What are we grateful for every single day?
Because it’s important to be kind to ourselves, and it’s important, and even more important, to be kind to other people.
Own Your OWN GRATITUDE
Here are three ways that you can provide that GRATITUDE to people around you and for yourself.
1. Send a message to at least one person per day to say thank you and show your appreciation.
2. Write down one thing you did well today and why?
3. Note one thing you can do tomorrow that will make someone feel happier?

Active CEO Performance Tip
Create A Ripple Effect With PURPOSE – Have you become too focused on yourself and you don’t feel fulfilled. Focus on something bigger than just yourself. Determine what your companies or your own real purpose is in life. Your why or your companies why? What work can you do to serve that purpose and leave a positive mark or dent on the world? 3 questions to ask yourself – 1. What makes you come alive? 2. What are your innate strengths? 3. Where do you add greatest value? NOW IF YOU ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO IDENTIFY YOUR WHY here are 3 more questions to ask yourself: 1. What do people come to ask for help on and thank you for? 2. What would do you love doing that you would do everyday without a paycheck? 3. If you found out that you only had one year left, what would you imagine yourself doing? Its time for you to do some self reflection and find clarity on your why!

What are the stages of target market behaviours that people are currently going through as they come to terms with loss, uncertainty and change living in a remote world of COVID-19?
As a leader, CEO, entrepreneur or influencer you are trying to figure out how to firstly retain, but also recruit in the future, your valuable clients, members and suppliers. You first need to understand your target market behaviours and then you can understand the importance of your digital presence right now.
People will go through these 7 stages at varying speeds, so it’s important to be digitally present right now to capture their attention. Here is a brief outline:
Stage 1 – DENIAL
When COVID-19 first came to light, most people brushed it off, as a concern in their world, and continued on with normal daily behaviour
Stage 2 – SHOCK
When governments started to enforce restrictions, peoples jobs were uncertain, they were unsure if they would be able to put food on the table and stock markets started to take a dive, people took notice and the shock of it caused them to start seeking as much information on COVID-19 as possible. They became totally infatuated and engrossed in it.
Stage 3 – OVERWHELM
They become overwhelmed with the information and any word starting with “C” creates a stress reaction, so they start to withdraw from the intense exposure of COVID-19. Less time watching news, less time on social media and taking a break from digital technology. They start to withdraw inside themselves.
Stage 4 – REFLECTION
The sudden change, chaos, loss and uncertainty, causes them to go inside their thoughts as they reflect on what is really important to them, what are their values, what is their purpose in life, why am I doing what I am doing and is there a better way. They begin to think about how they can upskill and upgrade themselves as a person. What am I learning about myself, that I want to change? They start to think about what personal and professional development they require to be a better person, better parent, better leader and create a positive impact in their world and hopefully as a custodian on planet earth.
Stage 5 – RESET
They start to create a new way they want to live, a new way of thinking and a simpler way of life. New behaviours start to form, they want to become a better person or a better leader, and they start to dream about new health and fitness goals, but they realise they don’t have all the answers and they need help.
Stage 6 – BROWSING
Internet has now become their new best friend. They start browsing or window shopping so to speak. What are the solutions in the marketplace to solve my problem of creating a better way of living. How can I be healthier, how can I improve my personal performance and how can I achieve my goals. It won’t just be solutions they are looking for, it will be how do they get RESULTS to the problems they are seeking an answer for. They will only be able to find solutions from the people who have a digital presence and are visible in the digital community of the internet and social media.
Stage 7 – PURCHASING
Once they have browsed they will choose the option that can show how they get RESULTS and that they trust. They will make a decision based on the information they can easily get access to and is SIMPLE to understand. Some will be ready right now, so they are looking for solutions that can be done easily via the virtual world of internet, video conference and phone call, that they can do in their comfort of their own home.
My question to you is:
How are you creating your digital presence and most importantly message, to not only solve, but show how you can help current and future clients, members or suppliers get RESULTS, starting today?
Understanding your target market behaviours to thrive, not just survive in COVID-19.

CEO Performance Tip
SINGLE-task
Not Multi-task For Productivity – If you try and multi-task, our brains move too
fast, we lose focus and take on too much. In fact, the brain can’t actually
multi-task and what it actually does is task switching. If you are task
switching to often or too quickly, it slows down your response time and
prevents you from completing tasks quickly, if at all. Break down your work
into single tasks and block your time accordingly to the highest priority
tasks. First, write down all your tasks. Second, prioritise your tasks
according to low, medium and high priority. Third, schedule time specifically
for high priority tasks first, in your calendar. Then delegate all medium and
low priorities where possible. Plan your day so that you can single task to get
the best productivity and performance as a leader.

“It is hard to plan for things that might not happen
and things that you just don’t like to think about, but have to do, whether you

Craig Johns talks about OWN Your OWN FREEDOM, the first of the 8 ways to own your OWN Influence.
OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
Find the passion, happiness & direction in your life!
Your passion can be anything in the world that challenges you, intrigues you and motivates you in life. It’s not about doing something you love so that it doesn’t feel like work, a passion is something that puts you to work.
Happiness is a feeling that occurs when you know your life is great and you just can’t help smiling. People feel happiness for different reasons, have you found your happiness or are you still in the pursuit of happiness?
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. What is your reason for living, your purpose in life, and as Simon Sinek says “What is your why”? If it all starts with why, then what is the direction you are taking in life?
OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
Three questions to ask yourself in OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
What makes you come alive?
What are your innate strengths?
Where do you add the greatest value?
If you are still struggling to identify your direction, there a 3 deeper questions that will bring you clarity, which are in this podcast episode.

CEO Performance Tip
Leadership Overwhelm – As a leader, have you ever felt
completely overcome in mind or emotion, where you feel a stress or combination
of stressors are too big for you to manage? This is the feeling of overwhelm.
Everyone experiences some level of overwhelm and the important thing to
remember, is that it is all manageable. Rather than fighting your feelings of
overwhelm you can accept that anxiety is like riding a wave and it will be
easier; learn to turn overwhelming thoughts into helpful thoughts; shift your
thoughts from having to complete everything right now to focusing on one thing
at a time; identify what you need to be present with right now; take a deep
breath to relax the body; and most importantly engage in an action that you
enjoy before rushing into solve the trigger of overwhelm. Start taking control
of your overwhelm today.

Craig Johns talks about CEO Performance, the third P of the 3P’s of the Leadership Performance Formula. CEO Performance is about developing high performance habits, effective routines and important cues, while removing unwanted contamination and negative influence in your life.
How many CEO Performance habits do you have?
Humans are designed for boundaries in their life. Without clear boundaries it is easy to head down broken path or fall into a trap. Sometimes boundaries need to lose to ensure creativity and innovation can occur, and other times they need to be tight so you limit the distractions.
High performance habits involve unleashing your courage, improving productivity, raising necessity, remaining focused and creating clarity.
What are the routines you can create to reduce time wasting, increase ENERGY, REFLECT effectively, improve HEALTH, curiously GROW, enhance your PROXIMITY, and positively INFLUENCE others?
High performing leaders eliminate
the unnecessary habits and negative distractions in their life, so they can
energetically execute with focus, confidence and clarity.
What habits and routines do you
need to break or create to ensure that you can be more productive and perform
better?
