WIN — What’s Important Now
In this episode of the Three Word Podcast, Lisa Thal shares a powerful mindset shift around the word WIN — What’s Important Now.
Winning is not always about the scoreboard, the title, the promotion, or the big milestone. Sometimes winning is having the courage to pause and ask, What matters most in this season of my life?
Lisa reflects on a LinkedIn post she shared one year ago and how focusing on her WIN helped her make decisions aligned with what mattered most: starting her Mindset and Sales Coaching business, helping care for her 95-year-old mom with dementia, and creating more time with her wife, Olivia, and their pup, Denali.
This episode explores the difference between pursuing and avoiding. Avoidance may feel safe in the moment, but pursuit creates momentum. When we focus on what is important now, we begin to win in ways that are more meaningful and aligned.
Three Takeaways
1. Pause before you react.Busy does not always mean productive. Ask yourself what matters most right now.
2. Choose pursuit over avoidance.Identify one thing you have been avoiding and take one small step toward it.
3. Define winning for this season.Your WIN may look different today than it did a year ago, and that is okay.
Reflection Question
What is your WIN right now?
Not someday.Not when everything is perfect.Not when fear disappears.
What’s Important Now?
 
Until Next Time.
