while nobody has your back well in this video I'm going to share with you the
tips I give to my clients to recruit your very own personal board of
directors those people who are going to be there to motivate and support you
whenever you need it here is my proven strategy for
recruiting your personal board of directors that dream team that will have
your back every single day step number one I want
you to make a list of the key people you have in your life these people can be
friends family co-workers colleagues they could be mentors coaches teachers
whoever has served a key role in your life I want them on your list just make
a list as long as you possibly can then I want you to take a look at that list
and pick 3 to 5 people that you want to serve on your board of directors only 3
to 5 Heather yes only 3 to 5 so make sure that you narrow down that list 3 to
5 people that you want to serve on your personal board of directors step 2 I
want you to decide what role you want each of these individuals to play so for
example one person might serve as the mentor they're going to be the person
who walks you through step by step everything that you need to do they're
going to be able to help you steer things in a particular direction another
person might serve the role as the best friend this is the person that you can
call up at 11 o'clock at night when you've had a really rough day and just
say hey I just need to vent I need let all of this out can we hang out soon
so you might have somebody who serves that role as best friend you might have
somebody who serves the role of what I like to call the hopeful one they are
the person that has never-ending belief and never-ending confidence that you are
going to be successful whatever it is you choose to do we all need one of
these people on our board of directors they're going to be there to turn our
heads around when we start feeling a little stuck in the mud about the way
things are going so you can create whatever type of framework you want for
your personal board of directors get creative with the types of roles that
people are going to play but make it your own and give each of the three to
five people that you selected in step one a particular role to serve on your
board of directors so I want to know what it is you're coming up with in the
comments below share with me one role you know that you can't live without on
your personal board of directors step three I want you to make a formal
invitation to each of the individuals you want to serve on your board of
directors so what does that look like well in some cases it might mean that
you have a phone conversation with a person you might Skype with them you
might invite them out for tea or coffee or lunch but I want you to make this
special because during this invitation you're going to be letting the person
know look here's what's up in my life here's what's going on I want to give
you an update and I want to formally invite you to be part of my personal
board of directors and you want it to be special you want these individuals to
feel like they've been chosen which they have so invest some time in making a
formal invite to anyone you selected to serve on your personal board of
directors step number four if after the invitation the person says yes and of
course you're going to rock this invitation so there's no reason why they
should say no if they say yes I want you come up with a plan of action
I want you schedule regular check-ins this might be once a week once every two
once a month but you want to update the people on your personal board of
directors on a regular basis about what's going on this is going to be your
opportunity to check in get support get motivation get a different perspective
on what it is you're doing now in the event somebody says no I'm sorry I can't
serve on your personal board of directors I actually don't have the time
that's okay you want to thank them and let them know
that you're going to be there to support them no matter what it's a big deal that
you've identified this person as one of your key people so don't forget that
even if they aren't able to serve in that capacity for you at this time step
number five you're having your regular meetings you're doing these check-ins
you're getting motivated you're getting support you're getting the perspective
you're getting the guidance this is all amazing but here's the deal
you have to step up and support as well just like in an accountability
partnership this is a two-way street so where can you show up for the
individuals that have agreed to sit on your personal board of directors not
only that little thank yous here and there go a really long way a handwritten
note a gift card for a coffee I'm taking them out to lunch sending them flowers a
small gift whatever it is but just thanking them for being and serving in
this role in your life because it is significant it does mean something and
they're special they're on your personal board of directors so let them know that
with a sweet thank you there you have it now you know the steps you need to take
to recruit your personal board of directors and to get the support and
motivation you need now you have people who have your back to help you out I've
