0:01hey everyone Sam ens here and in this
0:02video I want to talk to you about
0:04mastering your own personal courtly
0:06review so it's hard to believe but 90
0:09days of 2015 are gone you know we're one
0:12quarter of the way through the year and
0:16what I believe is really valuable for us
0:18to do at this point is to just take some
0:21time out and evaluate how things have
0:23been going and whether we're heading you
0:25know in the right direction to achieve
0:27what we want to uh this year
0:31so during the Christmas and New Year
0:33period we we go on vacation and we think
0:36about you know the new year and what we
0:38want to achieve we have these New Year
0:40resolutions and all of these plans but
0:43when we go back to our businesses and
0:45when we go back to our day jobs we kind
0:47of get caught up in the day-to-day
0:49busyness and we forget all about the the
0:52New Year resolutions that we set for
0:54ourselves and that's why I believe that
0:56every quarter so every 90 days it's
0:59really uh valuable to take a break and
1:03uh and to evaluate how things have gone
1:05so I just got back from a 10day vacation
1:08in Mexico I left I left work at home and
1:11I I went away to Mexico and just chilled
1:14out and when I was you know just
1:16chilling out I was thinking about a few
1:19different things one of them was what
1:21have I achieved in the quarter just gone
1:24so from January 1st to the 31st of March
1:27what have I achieved and I just started
1:28making a list and and then I thought
1:30well what mistakes have I made and I
1:32started making a list of the mistakes
1:34that I've made and then I went back to
1:36the New Year resolutions and the goals
1:39that I had set from for 2015 and thought
1:42am I on track to achieve these things so
1:45I and then then what I did is I made a
1:48list of things that I want to achieve in
1:50the next quarter so the next 90 days
1:52coming up and that is what I encourage
1:54you to do you know you don't have to go
1:56overseas you don't have to take a whole
1:5810 days but I encourage you to take a
2:00weekend and just shut everything out
2:03like email and your phone and all of
2:04those things shut it out and just make a
2:06make three lists a list of things you've
2:09achieved list of mistakes and a list of
2:12things you want to put into action in
2:14this next quarter and then what I find
2:16is really helpful is to just print out a
2:19calendar for the next quarter so this is
2:22just a basic PDF calendar I've included
2:24it uh for download below this video and
2:27I just print out the next 3 months
2:30coming up and I start plotting the
2:32things that I want to achieve in the
2:34next quarter on this calendar and it's
2:37it's all very well having goals but when
2:39you start plotting them on a calendar it
2:41becomes a whole lot more real and what I
2:45find is really helpful is to pretty much
2:46plan out your whole next quarter before
2:49it even starts because in my experience
2:52as an entrepreneur when you're starting
2:54out and even for a long time your half
2:58the day is spent thinking what should we
3:00be doing and you know planning out the
3:03whole quarter in advance means that
3:05every day when you wake up there's you
3:08don't need to think as much and you just
3:09need to execute what's in your plan so
3:13my action items for you from this video
3:16are you know take a break and list the
3:19things you've achieved list the mistakes
3:21you've made go back to your original uh
3:24goals and New Year's resolutions check
3:26if you're on the right path and then
3:29make a list of the things that you want
3:30to achieve in this next quarter and then
3:33plot it on a calendar and then start
3:37taking action so that's it for this
3:39video on how to uh master your own
3:43personal quarterly review I've hope I
