New Year, New Be

hat do you want to have this year?

I’ve been working on a list.

Fancy job title, medal of honour, perfect physique, relationships worthy of envy….more cash than I’m capable of spending in a lifetime.

These are not unreasonable demands in a world that presupposes I can have anything I put my mind to. Are they?

When I woke up on the first day of the year, to quote the rock star, Meat Loaf; it hit me like a bat out of hell. I’ve got it the wrong way round.

You can’t have and keep anything until you become the person that would naturally have such things.

So I decided to create a model that encapsulates this BE DO HAVE idea. I started by asking my search engine and AI pals a few questions and lo and behold, I learned that the model already exists. 😆

To quote some of the greats:

* “You’ve got to “BE” before you can do, and “DO” before you can “HAVE” – Zig Ziglar

* “We must “be” before we can “do,” and we can “do” only to the extent which we “are” - Charles Haanel

According to Account Solutions: Business Mentors & Chartered Accountants https://asl.co.nz/business-tips/the-be-do-have-principle/, the BE DO HAVE model works as follows:

“When I have the perfect physique, I’ll go to the gym and I’ll be happy”

Becomes

“I will BE the person that DOES the activities to HAVE the perfect physique.”

In summary, we must “be that guy or gal” that is aligned to the goals we hold as worthy and then we shall achieve our haves.

How can you use the BE DO HAVE model in 2025?
