Designing an Intentionally Great Life, with Sue Hawkes

Often people see others who they deem successful, and they think, “of course, it happened for them.” The truth is that success doesn’t come without hard work and intention. Intentionality is like a math equation. You set an intention of certain results and then determine what practices you need to reach it. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, Sue shares her thoughts on what it means to be intentional, how intentionality shows up in your life, and how to
design an intentionally great life.

What you’ll learn about in this episode:

• What does intentionality mean and how does it show up for you
• Why you need to redefine who you are to become what you intend
• Why you should reassess when things are working well and not working
• How often you should evaluate what’s important in your life
• How to find an accountability partner to help you achieve success

Showing Up Intentionally

Often people see others who they deem successful, and they think, “of course, it happened for them.” The truth is that success doesn’t come without hard work and intention. Intentionality is like a math equation. You set an intention of certain results and then determine what practices you need to reach it. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, Sue shares her thoughts on what it means to be intentional, how intentionality shows up in your life, and how to
design an intentionally great life.

Remaining Patient

In our current world, we are used to instant gratification. Whether that’s getting groceries delivered within hours or merchandise shipped to our home in days–we are used to the immediacy of things. Overall, the persistence and patience to be intentional about something over time is a somewhat lost art. Achieving Intentional Greatness requires intention and a lot of hard work. Sue shares how her upbringing taught her to work hard and remain persistent and patient on this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast.

Assessing and Evaluating

When designing your life, it’s important to exaggerate your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. However, it can be difficult to even understand what those are when you are never taking the time to look closely. Re-evaluate and reassess your life when things are not working, and also when things are working very well. Doing this process regularly allows you to course-correct your life and reach the intentions you set.
