In this episode of First of the Month, First of the Day, Pete Cohen shares an inspiring message about the importance of setting intentions and taking action as we begin a new month. Although Pete isn’t able to host his usual LinkedIn Live this month due to his travels to Sardinia for a keynote presentation, he remains true to his commitment by recording this special podcast episode.

Pete explains how setting strong intentions on the first of the month and at the beginning of each day can create powerful momentum for personal growth. With October upon us, Pete dives into actionable tips on how to align our intentions with our attention so that we can make meaningful progress in the areas of life we choose to focus on.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why Intentions Matter: Your intentions are a compass for where you want to go in life. But having good intentions alone isn’t enough—they must be backed by action to make an impact.
  • The Power of Alignment: When your intentions and attention are in sync, you unlock the potential to bring your goals to life. Pete discusses how to align your focus to ensure you’re acting on what truly matters to you.
  • Creating October Success: As we enter October, Pete challenges listeners to think about their goals and ambitions for the month ahead. He offers strategies to help you set clear, actionable intentions that can transform this month into one of growth and achievement.
  • Making Progress in Life Domains: Whether it’s health, relationships, career, or personal development, Pete encourages us to choose one or more areas of life to focus on this month. He emphasizes how small, consistent actions lead to massive results over time.

Quote of the Episode:
"The key to success isn’t just having good intentions; it’s about turning those intentions into action. By aligning our focus with what we want to achieve, we can make real progress and transform our lives."

Action Steps for Listeners:

  1. Set Your October Intention: Take a few minutes today to reflect on what you want to accomplish this month. Write down your intention and make a plan to bring it to life.
  2. Start Your Day with Purpose: Each morning, set a daily intention that aligns with your larger goals. Focus your energy on taking one small step toward your monthly objective.
  3. Stay Consistent: Progress happens over time. Stay committed to your intentions, even when life gets busy or challenging. Consistency is key.
