Latest / Inside Strategic Relations / Find peace, find purpose in a meaningful way
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Modern media is distracting us from getting meaningful work done.
- 0:04Speaker 1: And this is actually my design. I'm just in hit
- 0:07Speaker 1: with inside strategic relations. What if you could search within
- 0:11Speaker 1: your own mind and discover your greatest purpose. What if
- 0:15Speaker 1: in discovering that greatest purpose, it gave you direction and
- 0:19Speaker 1: approach to each day, and through that direction that approach,
- 0:22Speaker 1: you accomplished more each day of things that were meaningful, fulfilling,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and drove you forward to the outcomes that you most desire.
- 0:34Speaker 1: See this society is such a fast pace now more
- 0:37Speaker 1: than ever with technology and information overload, it's really driving
- 0:43Speaker 1: some outsides demand. In some cases, this is programming. This
- 0:49Speaker 1: is someone who has more resources than you who's seeking
- 0:53Speaker 1: to I don't want to say enslave you, but to
- 0:56Speaker 1: capture your mind in such a way that you pay
- 1:00Speaker 1: more attention to them than your even your own needs
- 1:02Speaker 1: and desires. Because they are selling a product, because they
- 1:05Speaker 1: have a certain belief system or ideology, because they feel
- 1:10Speaker 1: that nobody's paying attention to them, so they have to
- 1:12Speaker 1: force the issue around the points of their interest. It's
- 1:16Speaker 1: a chaotic world. Now. Media doesn't make this any better.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Constantly there's resources vying for your attention. You may have
- 1:25Speaker 1: received a notice about this podcast, and you say, well,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I'm compelled to improve my life and to get more
- 1:33Speaker 1: results in business and to earn more money and to
- 1:37Speaker 1: live a better life. But have you actually sat down
- 1:40Speaker 1: and thought about what does that better life look like.
- 1:44Speaker 1: What seems to be a widening gap between those who
- 1:46Speaker 1: have and those who have not is exaggerated with inflation.
- 1:52Speaker 1: There's people constantly saying that the rich should pay their
- 1:55Speaker 1: fair share, yet the majority of the planet is trying
- 1:58Speaker 1: to become more or wealthy. Is it really greed to
- 2:03Speaker 1: collect the resources necessary for your family and have a
- 2:06Speaker 1: little bit extra left over for a rainy day? Because
- 2:09Speaker 1: we know the economy changes, there's war, there's civil unrest,
- 2:14Speaker 1: there's scandal, and we know this, of course, because it's
- 2:18Speaker 1: constantly shoved down our throat and presented to us as
- 2:22Speaker 1: the reason why that we have these existential threats, this drama,
- 2:28Speaker 1: this pain. What if there is a way to unlock
- 2:33Speaker 1: opportunity in your own life, to gain a personal set
- 2:39Speaker 1: of freedoms that allows you to weather any storm, to
- 2:42Speaker 1: be more resilient and to actually accomplish more in life.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Gone on the days of imposter syndrome, because you realize
- 2:50Speaker 1: your strengths and your weaknesses. Now, this doesn't happen naturally
- 2:57Speaker 1: because again we're in an environment where we have multiple interactions.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And I talk about this when we develop business relationships.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Is that there are demands on your life. Many of
- 3:06Speaker 1: these demands are self imposed, Many of these demands are environmental.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Some of these demands are not in your best interest
- 3:15Speaker 1: yet being pushed upon you. And so how would you
- 3:19Speaker 1: really know if you're better off today than you were
- 3:21Speaker 1: years ago? How would you really know that you've made
- 3:24Speaker 1: any progress? See that manifests in a feeling of being
- 3:29Speaker 1: lost or disconnected. Now, I'm going to offer you a
- 3:33Speaker 1: solution here. I'm going to give you some ideas and
- 3:34Speaker 1: concepts that you can implement. I'm going to give you
- 3:36Speaker 1: a four step plan as well as a little bit
- 3:40Speaker 1: of case study. So if you're willing to spend a
- 3:42Speaker 1: little bit of time with me in this podcast episode,
- 3:46Speaker 1: I'll be happy to walk you through these steps in
- 3:49Speaker 1: such a way that by the end of this program
- 3:51Speaker 1: you're going to be able to sit down and feel
- 3:53Speaker 1: more connected, do more productive work, get better results in life.
- 3:59Speaker 1: And because us, you'll be able to do these things.
- 4:01Speaker 1: You're going to be able to start solving what I
- 4:03Speaker 1: call million dollar problems. See, there are certain things that
- 4:07Speaker 1: if you do them in your life, it will unlock
- 4:12Speaker 1: opportunities in your world, in your future, in your near
- 4:16Speaker 1: experience that would not be there otherwise. See, there's successes
- 4:21Speaker 1: and opportunities out there for you every day. But that
- 4:23Speaker 1: feeling of being lost or disconnected, it's reinforced by the
- 4:27Speaker 1: fact that we don't have community festivals anymore. Then a
- 4:31Speaker 1: lot of times people don't sit down for dinner with
- 4:33Speaker 1: each other, Families don't even sit down to dinner with
- 4:36Speaker 1: each other. It seems like it's a constant rush, a
- 4:39Speaker 1: constant drive, and at one at some point, it will
- 4:43Speaker 1: just completely collapse. Now, not to make you feel worse,
- 4:47Speaker 1: it will eventually collapse because that feeling of dread is
- 4:51Speaker 1: based in truth. That yes, war, economic failure, scandal, human trafficking,
- 4:57Speaker 1: environmental destruction. These days do exist, yet they're amplified as
- 5:03Speaker 1: to be the topic of conversation, pushing out the fact
- 5:06Speaker 1: that there are quiet days where you and a loved
- 5:09Speaker 1: one can walk together hand in hand. There are times
- 5:13Speaker 1: where your children have personal achievements, and if you're there
- 5:16Speaker 1: to see that, how fulfilling. That is, there's times where you,
- 5:20Speaker 1: in a quiet moment, realize you're doing a lot better
- 5:23Speaker 1: than you thought you did. Now, how do we create
- 5:26Speaker 1: more of these moments? Because objectively, the world is getting better.
- 5:31Speaker 1: There are energy sources today that are cleaner, have less
- 5:35Speaker 1: impact on land. By all measures are better than what
- 5:39Speaker 1: was two hundred years ago or even one hundred years ago.
- 5:43Speaker 1: There are no open burning of forests. We do have
- 5:47Speaker 1: forest fires, but there isn't any deliberate burnt slash and
- 5:50Speaker 1: burning happening in the United States. Now. On a global scale,
- 5:54Speaker 1: these negative things still happen. There are trash piles in
- 5:57Speaker 1: some countries. There are trash piles in the United States.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Just knowing these problems exist has zero value for your
- 6:07Speaker 1: long term prosperity. And again, how do we define prosperity?
- 6:11Speaker 1: What does it mean to be successful? If we don't
- 6:16Speaker 1: take the time to define those things, exploring our purpose,
- 6:20Speaker 1: exploring what do we want and why do we want it,
- 6:23Speaker 1: then yes, it will be overwhelming to know that war
- 6:27Speaker 1: is happening every day, people are dying. Now there are
- 6:32Speaker 1: people in the environment, activists and folks who will amplify problems. Now,
- 6:37Speaker 1: the good news is is there's problems that they were
- 6:39Speaker 1: protesting about twenty years ago that don't exist today. Lead
- 6:44Speaker 1: paint isn't the default using our snack and water, a
- 6:49Speaker 1: lot of the other problems that people rightfully raised up
- 6:53Speaker 1: a concern about. Yet I believe, and I've seen through
- 6:57Speaker 1: the evidence over the years, helping clients create a billion
- 6:59Speaker 1: dollars value for their customers, I believe that there is
- 7:03Speaker 1: an opportunity to serve our fellow man rather than guilt,
- 7:08Speaker 1: rather than than put pressure on them, rather than than complaining,
- 7:12Speaker 1: to serve our fellow man, or to serve humanity in
- 7:17Speaker 1: such a way that creates value for them and creates
- 7:19Speaker 1: values for ourselves. It's a building of a thing rather
- 7:22Speaker 1: than tearing down of a thing. Now, again, this isn't
- 7:25Speaker 1: a Pollyanna approach. This isn't you know, rose colored glasses. Objectively,
- 7:31Speaker 1: the world is better off now than it was one
- 7:36Speaker 1: hundred years ago. Now, slavery still exists, colonization and the
- 7:41Speaker 1: destructive way still exists. But again, there are other valuable
- 7:46Speaker 1: things happening around the world. But my biggest argument here
- 7:49Speaker 1: is that feeling of dread, that feeling of fear, that
- 7:53Speaker 1: that is meant to control you so that you make
- 7:57Speaker 1: certain compliant behaviors. So when you log into Facebook, LinkedIn
- 8:02Speaker 1: or whatever, all of that dread and fear and everything
- 8:04Speaker 1: that you see there is designed to stimulate you to
- 8:07Speaker 1: come back to that platform, because if you stay away
- 8:10Speaker 1: from the platform, you'll feel a little bit of withdrawal. Now,
- 8:12Speaker 1: we have a digital detox program that I've done a
- 8:15Speaker 1: number of times.
- 8:17Speaker 2: I've done work with clients on it, and.
- 8:19Speaker 1: There is a withdrawal period when you stop using social media,
- 8:24Speaker 1: when you stop educating yourself and learning, and instead find
- 8:29Speaker 1: yourself in a state of reaction. See, there's a difference
- 8:32Speaker 1: between reaction and response. If you see something bad in
- 8:36Speaker 1: the world and you react to it, it's very emotional.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Yet if you respond to it, it might be changes
- 8:43Speaker 1: in your own life that reduce the demand for something.
- 8:46Speaker 1: It might be changes in your own life. They give
- 8:48Speaker 1: you a better perspective of possible solutions. See. I'm in
- 8:51Speaker 1: the problem solving business. I create results for my clients
- 8:56Speaker 1: because we identify major issues in their business in their
- 9:00Speaker 1: world that they can control, and then we take the
- 9:04Speaker 1: necessary action. So my skill set is business development, building
- 9:08Speaker 1: of businesses, and risk management, which is as the business
- 9:11Speaker 1: builds and rotate, it ratches up. We don't have set
- 9:14Speaker 1: backs due to laws, rules and regulations, and so a
- 9:17Speaker 1: big risk factor that we have is that when we
- 9:19Speaker 1: find these problems, we can identify which problems we're going
- 9:22Speaker 1: to accept and do something about, and which problems we
- 9:25Speaker 1: have no control over that we're just going to accept,
- 9:27Speaker 1: and then which problems that we need to be or
- 9:30Speaker 1: maybe not. They're not as applicable as they were before,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and so those risks are are mitigated now when it
- 9:37Speaker 1: comes to solutions, because I want to be solution oriented.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I'm not here to scare you. I'm not here to
- 9:42Speaker 1: tell you that you're doing it all wrong. I'm here
- 9:45Speaker 1: to say that, Look, we can evolve rather than floundering,
- 9:50Speaker 1: rather being stuck in past drama, rather than being stuck
- 9:52Speaker 1: in distraction, we can evolve beyond that to be a producer,
- 9:57Speaker 1: to be someone who creates a surplus in our our
- 10:00Speaker 1: own lives. Of that surplus, we can serve others. See,
- 10:04Speaker 1: if you're already added a deficiency. If in an emergency
- 10:09Speaker 1: situation you can't help yourself, then you can't help the
- 10:12Speaker 1: other person. And that goes back to health, wealth and wisdom.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Do you have the health necessary, the physical performance to
- 10:20Speaker 1: do the things.
- 10:21Speaker 2: That are valuable in your life.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Do you have the wealth of the financial security the means,
- 10:28Speaker 1: even if you're a subsistence farmer, to create a surplus.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Again, is it greedy to provide for your family now.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And into the unforeseen future? It's not. It's your responsibility.
- 10:41Speaker 1: And if framed as a responsibility, then you start looking
- 10:44Speaker 1: at ways that hey, you know, maybe we ought to
- 10:47Speaker 1: be budgeting, Maybe we ought to have a plan to
- 10:50Speaker 1: increase our skills so we're more valuable in the marketplace,
- 10:53Speaker 1: so that there's a disruptive technology, we can adapt to
- 10:56Speaker 1: that technology. We can frame that technology as a tool,
- 11:00Speaker 1: and we can solve problems for our clients because we're
- 11:03Speaker 1: service oriented rather than consumption oriented. Wisdom, How do we
- 11:09Speaker 1: know the difference? How do we know if we're better
- 11:11Speaker 1: off now than we were before? Now? Some people are
- 11:14Speaker 1: not better off now. And to be completely empathetic to
- 11:19Speaker 1: what's going on, there are people now that companies have
- 11:23Speaker 1: laid off tens of thousands of people because of the
- 11:26Speaker 1: perception that artificial intelligence may solve problems better than people.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And there is a philosophy and business that you can
- 11:33Speaker 1: lay people off. Now see if you can do without them,
- 11:36Speaker 1: and then if you can't, you can always hire them back.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And again that is a reality of this world. But
- 11:43Speaker 1: in your own life, your own lived experience, there are
- 11:47Speaker 1: certain things that you can do to cultivate business relationships
- 11:51Speaker 1: so that you're not on the layoff list, To cultivate
- 11:54Speaker 1: skills and perspectives so that you're solving more problems than
- 11:57Speaker 1: you're causing. To create habits that build yourself, so for example,
- 12:03Speaker 1: investing in your mental capacity. And this is an ability
- 12:08Speaker 1: that's easy to take away. See a lot of folks today,
- 12:10Speaker 1: if you ask them a question and they don't know
- 12:11Speaker 1: the answer, they go search it on the internet and
- 12:14Speaker 1: they act as if what's on the internet has ultimate authority.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Is what the AI tells them is ultimate authority. And
- 12:23Speaker 1: I can tell you that even in this podcast, you
- 12:25Speaker 1: may have a different experience. You may be questioning what
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm saying here. You might be saying, well, this doesn't
- 12:30Speaker 1: apply to me. Yet I'm purposefully trying to provide you
- 12:35Speaker 1: the most universal key to create more in business, to
- 12:38Speaker 1: build better business relationships that transform your engagement, your communications,
- 12:44Speaker 1: your conversation into the ability to serve somebody profitably. I'm
- 12:50Speaker 1: not talking about you giving away your skills and talents.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I'm talking about you building your skills and talents and
- 12:54Speaker 1: inframing them within a structure that generates passive income, that
- 12:59Speaker 1: helps solve problem, that helps build teams that work on
- 13:02Speaker 1: your behalf to identify the right customers in a marketplace
- 13:08Speaker 1: so that you can deliver to them value that will
- 13:11Speaker 1: be seen above and beyond the latest gimmick in technology,
- 13:15Speaker 1: the latest distraction, the latest economic turnaround, so that you
- 13:19Speaker 1: become in value, become a recognized expert in your field. Now,
- 13:24Speaker 1: we do know that just searching the internet is harmful
- 13:27Speaker 1: because again, there's a lot of advertising material there, there's
- 13:30Speaker 1: a lot of things that have paid to be in
- 13:32Speaker 1: front of you. There's a lot of distractions, and very often,
- 13:35Speaker 1: if we have a methodology and I just did a
- 13:37Speaker 1: workshop on this, if we have a methodology to frame
- 13:40Speaker 1: the problem and go through that framework to solve that problem,
- 13:46Speaker 1: then we're going to be solving more problems than we're creating.
- 13:49Speaker 1: We're going to be focusing more on forward movement and progress.
- 13:52Speaker 1: We're going to deliver tangible outcomes. Again, what is a
- 13:56Speaker 1: tangible and valuable outcome. Well, that's where we understand what
- 14:00Speaker 1: do we want, and we're going to talk about how
- 14:03Speaker 1: we do that. We want to be mindful of our breath.
- 14:05Speaker 1: A lot of times we have tensions. Actually, sometimes you
- 14:08Speaker 1: can hear it in my voice. I sometimes have a
- 14:10Speaker 1: nasally voice because when I'm having this conversation, I get
- 14:13Speaker 1: passionate and I start hunching over a little bit to
- 14:18Speaker 1: talk to you, and I'm throwing the fist out and
- 14:20Speaker 1: everything is from tension, and you can feel that in
- 14:23Speaker 1: the language. Yet if I sit mindfully, I slow down
- 14:28Speaker 1: my pace, you can feel that as well. It's different. Now,
- 14:32Speaker 1: what are the patterns that we have in our own life?
- 14:36Speaker 1: What are the patterns that we have that are progressing? See?
- 14:40Speaker 1: With AI, you soon won't be able to tell what
- 14:42Speaker 1: is real or fake in the media. Reality is distorted.
- 14:47Speaker 1: In fact, with the thousands of podcasts and presentations and
- 14:50Speaker 1: interviews and conversations I've had that are recorded, I could
- 14:54Speaker 1: train an AI model to write this for you and
- 14:56Speaker 1: to have a conversation with you right now, and it
- 14:58Speaker 1: can have perfect pitch, It could have the perfect flow
- 15:02Speaker 1: and the EBB and there wouldn't be any stuttering. But
- 15:08Speaker 1: I come to you as a real human human to humans, saying, hey,
- 15:12Speaker 1: you don't have to be trapped, you don't have to
- 15:15Speaker 1: feel overwhelmed, you don't have to constantly fear the future
- 15:21Speaker 1: because you can design the future, you can develop the future,
- 15:25Speaker 1: you can plan for the future, you can create the
- 15:27Speaker 1: results that overcome past tragedy. I'm going to give you
- 15:33Speaker 1: an example here. It is spring, and we'll talk about
- 15:35Speaker 1: that shortly. But let's talk about some science. So epigenetics.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Researchers at the Institute Pasture in Paris, they did a
- 15:45Speaker 1: study and they looked at the human geome, genome and
- 15:48Speaker 1: how it evolves over time. And in this study they
- 15:51Speaker 1: found that trauma, stress, outside impacts. So your environmental factors
- 15:57Speaker 1: could be a chemical environmental factor, it could be the
- 16:00Speaker 1: types of food that you're eating. It could be too
- 16:02Speaker 1: much or too little exercise, it could be other factors.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Things that you sometimes have no control over, influence your genetics.
- 16:12Speaker 1: They reprogram your DNA and in fact, the trauma, the experiences,
- 16:17Speaker 1: and your perception of the world also impact your DNA
- 16:22Speaker 1: and that those changes and impacts are genetically passed down
- 16:26Speaker 1: to your children. Now, what does that mean. That means
- 16:30Speaker 1: that some experiences that your parents have had, some experiences
- 16:34Speaker 1: that have been happen over time, they do carry genetically through.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So you hear protesters and activists talking about the genetic
- 16:45Speaker 1: trauma that's being passed down. Now, I also study psychology
- 16:50Speaker 1: and sociology, and I know that if I tell you
- 16:53Speaker 1: that you are not responsible and that this genetic trauma
- 16:57Speaker 1: is the reason why you have all these problems and
- 17:00Speaker 1: the only way you can solve it is to take
- 17:02Speaker 1: the five actions that I give you, I know that's
- 17:04Speaker 1: a more persuasive argument because I've implied that there are
- 17:09Speaker 1: certain institutional conditions or certain biological conditions that make you
- 17:15Speaker 1: a certain way, and if you believe that you'll actually
- 17:18Speaker 1: be contained within that thought. Now what does that mean? Well,
- 17:23Speaker 1: if I tell a bunch of children they're losers, they're
- 17:26Speaker 1: going to act like losers. If I tell a bunch
- 17:28Speaker 1: of children that they're winners, they're going to act like winners.
- 17:31Speaker 1: With no scientific evidence at all on my part, I
- 17:37Speaker 1: can change the behavior of someone who is susceptible or
- 17:41Speaker 1: open to the suggestions. Now, we use it in marketing
- 17:46Speaker 1: all the time. If I suggest that you have bad
- 17:49Speaker 1: breath and body odor, even though you smell like everybody else,
- 17:53Speaker 1: even though for five thousand years people have smelled like
- 17:56Speaker 1: sweat and dirt. Especially if you're working, you smell like
- 17:59Speaker 1: sweat and dirt. And by the way, I'm more aware
- 18:01Speaker 1: of this than ever before because I raise goats, and
- 18:04Speaker 1: so in my manifestation of what we're discussing here, I
- 18:07Speaker 1: have an outlet of gardening and farming, and that's my
- 18:10Speaker 1: way of reconnecting with nature and simplifying my life. I
- 18:13Speaker 1: talk about that in my Intentional Thrift program. But the
- 18:17Speaker 1: point I'm making is that sometimes when working with the
- 18:20Speaker 1: goats and mucking out the stalls or turning compost piles,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I may smell earthy, a bit musty, and like I
- 18:29Speaker 1: need a shower, And society has trained us that we
- 18:32Speaker 1: have to cover that stuff up with special soap, special perfumes,
- 18:38Speaker 1: special conditioners. And then in getting these products, rather than
- 18:44Speaker 1: a regrowth or a renewal, we end up suppressing the
- 18:49Speaker 1: biome on our skin. Now, a biome is a combination
- 18:54Speaker 1: or an ecosystem of microbes that live on your skin.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Some of these microbes eat dead skin.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Some of these micro trubes restore and clean out the follicles.
- 19:04Speaker 1: There's an amazing number of things that happen there. Now,
- 19:07Speaker 1: if you didn't know that in your gut, there's a
- 19:09Speaker 1: biome that on your skin, there's a biome that on
- 19:11Speaker 1: your scalp, there's a different biome than on the rest
- 19:14Speaker 1: of your body, and that body odor itself because by
- 19:17Speaker 1: the way, the smell is bacteria eating the sweat or
- 19:21Speaker 1: being activated in the sweat, and that bacteria has a scent.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I explain it at times, and it's the farts. You're
- 19:31Speaker 1: smelling the farts. But again that even has a negative connotation.
- 19:36Speaker 1: There are certain smells that are pleasant smells, like the
- 19:40Speaker 1: smell of soil, and in fact, in the scent of
- 19:43Speaker 1: the soil, you actually have lower cortisol levels, reduction of
- 19:47Speaker 1: stress hormones. So I don't want to go too far
- 19:50Speaker 1: in digression, but it is entirely possible that the stress,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the frustration, the feeling of not being on ahead of
- 20:01Speaker 1: things is not a fact but inferred upon you by
- 20:06Speaker 1: the world around you, by advertisers, by the media that
- 20:10Speaker 1: you see, by the distractions. And then if you took
- 20:13Speaker 1: twenty minutes to sit down and be mindful of your breath,
- 20:17Speaker 1: to relax, to listen to nature, to reconnect with the soil,
- 20:22Speaker 1: that you may, at least for a moment, realize that
- 20:26Speaker 1: all countries fail, all economies fail, All seasons around the
- 20:31Speaker 1: world are constantly changing, and it's all just a matter
- 20:33Speaker 1: of time. Once you understand these cyclical cycles of what's
- 20:37Speaker 1: going on, everything from the stock market to the seasons,
- 20:42Speaker 1: you'll realize there will be time for regeneration and growth.
- 20:49Speaker 1: And if you're still stuck in the winter season, you
- 20:52Speaker 1: won't be able to enjoy the spring. So that's the
- 20:55Speaker 1: conversation right now. As I write to you today, it
- 20:57Speaker 1: is March first.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six.
- 21:01Speaker 1: It is now a new season, and it might be
- 21:05Speaker 1: easy to become overwhelmed because there's so many things in
- 21:07Speaker 1: the winter that didn't get done because we.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Had a lot of snow and a lot of rain
- 21:11Speaker 2: and a lot of issues.
- 21:13Speaker 1: But if we trust in nature, we know that spring
- 21:17Speaker 1: is a time for planting, and so if we know
- 21:20Speaker 1: that we're going to plant, we can prepare for that
- 21:23Speaker 1: planting by buying seed, by organizing our planting benches, by
- 21:28Speaker 1: cultivating the ground. Now, if we understand the concepts of cultivation,
- 21:32Speaker 1: we know that there's soil biology similar biology that it's
- 21:36Speaker 1: on our skin, similar biology that's in our intestines, the acidophilus,
- 21:41Speaker 1: different things like that live in the soil. Doctor Elaine Ingram,
- 21:45Speaker 1: who unfortunately just passed away, she talked about the soil microbe, biology,
- 21:51Speaker 1: the soil microbe, the soil food web, and if we
- 21:55Speaker 1: don't know these things exist, then pouring chemicals on the
- 21:58Speaker 1: ground in order to get quick and instant results seem
- 22:02Speaker 1: like the best thing to be doing. And so you
- 22:04Speaker 1: might be saying, well, what does the soil biology have
- 22:07Speaker 1: to do with my success?
- 22:08Speaker 2: What does the soil biology have to do with mine?
- 22:11Speaker 1: Well, understanding the concept that if we cultivate the underlying biology,
- 22:16Speaker 1: those behaviors, those conditions, that we get better plants, not
- 22:21Speaker 1: just for this season, but for long seasons to come.
- 22:25Speaker 1: And then if we understand that we're being sold a
- 22:27Speaker 1: bill of goods that are designed for us to keep
- 22:29Speaker 1: coming back, a cash flow stream for them, but not
- 22:33Speaker 1: necessarily successful for us. Then when we wash ourselves with
- 22:36Speaker 1: harmful chemicals to sterilize our skin, we actually make the
- 22:40Speaker 1: skin more susceptible to dryness. So one industry has you
- 22:44Speaker 1: soap yourself up and wash and then you end up
- 22:46Speaker 1: with dry skin. Another industry sells you a solution for
- 22:49Speaker 1: dry skin, and it turns out that you can bathe
- 22:52Speaker 1: in just water, and that there are plenty of natural
- 22:55Speaker 1: oils and herbs and things that have good sense and smells,
- 22:59Speaker 1: and that if you're working on your skin biome, that
- 23:04Speaker 1: your skin will take care of itself. There's conditions in
- 23:09Speaker 1: the soil that if you take care of the soil biome,
- 23:13Speaker 1: the plants will take care of themselves. Now, I did describe,
- 23:17Speaker 1: and I try to put it as footnote as possible,
- 23:21Speaker 1: as high level as possible. I did describe an extremely
- 23:25Speaker 1: complex system for growth that some people have dedicated their
- 23:31Speaker 1: entire lives to understanding. And I'm not saying you need
- 23:34Speaker 1: to learn these things, but there's a certain awareness, such
- 23:39Speaker 1: as there's seasons for countries, there's seasons for environments, there's
- 23:43Speaker 1: seasons for ways of thinking. You then start to realize
- 23:49Speaker 1: that we have to focus first on you, your needs,
- 23:53Speaker 1: your environment, the people around you, and understand the context
- 23:58Speaker 1: in which you interplay there in order to achieve anything
- 24:01Speaker 1: in life. See, there is plenty in this world. We
- 24:04Speaker 1: live in a place of abundance, yet many desperately consume
- 24:09Speaker 1: and stack up things of a little value and so
- 24:13Speaker 1: as a coach, as a consultant, I work as a
- 24:16Speaker 1: catalyst to help my clients overcome these challenges. And so
- 24:21Speaker 1: I'm going to give you an exercise here because very
- 24:24Speaker 1: much doing less can actually yield more when we understand
- 24:27Speaker 1: the nuances of what we're doing. So I have a
- 24:32Speaker 1: case study here that I'm going to cover at another
- 24:34Speaker 1: time about computers. I don't want this to become a
- 24:37Speaker 1: multi hour workshop. We do do workshops with coaching clients,
- 24:41Speaker 1: we do workshops in the consult in our group conversations,
- 24:45Speaker 1: but I want to get into that four part plan
- 24:48Speaker 1: because this is very important. There is fear, an anxiety
- 24:52Speaker 1: that is legitimate. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be afraid,
- 24:56Speaker 1: but I want instead and many of my most successful
- 24:59Speaker 1: clients have found this rather than standing there frozen, afraid
- 25:05Speaker 1: and concerned, that we can snap out of that and
- 25:08Speaker 1: start doing small things. So again, you can't see soil
- 25:12Speaker 1: biology Canada or microscope. But without special tools, we can't
- 25:18Speaker 1: see soil biology, but we can see its expression through
- 25:21Speaker 1: the healthy plants. In the case of body odor and
- 25:25Speaker 1: things that we've been told. So there's a big marketing
- 25:29Speaker 1: campaign that framed body odor and bad breath, and those
- 25:35Speaker 1: are biological functions, by the way, that are often indicators
- 25:38Speaker 1: of poor health. So if someone smells bad, it is
- 25:42Speaker 1: possible that they have poor health, or at least when
- 25:46Speaker 1: we say poor hygiene, it isn't necessarily scrubbing ourselves down
- 25:50Speaker 1: with chemicals. It may be just they've been working outside
- 25:53Speaker 1: and you know if they rinsed off with water and
- 25:55Speaker 1: a little bit of natural soap that they would smell neutral.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Our bodies are looking for that neutral or that better smell. Actually,
- 26:03Speaker 1: there's three states of things. There's good, there's neutral, and
- 26:06Speaker 1: then there's bad. So it's one zero negative one. And
- 26:11Speaker 1: when we look at things in that framework, we can
- 26:14Speaker 1: actually go through and this is step number one. We
- 26:17Speaker 1: can go through the characteristics of ourselves and compare our
- 26:23Speaker 1: desired state with our current state. So what does that mean? Well,
- 26:28Speaker 1: for you to be success in you're successful in your
- 26:30Speaker 1: job if you write down the five things that are necessary.
- 26:33Speaker 1: And again we don't go online and look this up.
- 26:36Speaker 1: We want to start with our mental state. Where are
- 26:39Speaker 1: we right now in our mind? What do we believe
- 26:42Speaker 1: the definition of success is. So I follow zig Ziggler's
- 26:47Speaker 1: definition of success to have all the things that money
- 26:49Speaker 1: can buy and all the things that money can't buy,
- 26:53Speaker 1: because money is a medium of exchange, and so money
- 26:55Speaker 1: is a proxy for our contribution and our reward for
- 27:00Speaker 1: that contribution. But there are many things in life that
- 27:03Speaker 1: money can't buy, such as peace of mind, the ability
- 27:06Speaker 1: to self reflect and have clarity. Again, what is it
- 27:12Speaker 1: for you? So in finding mindfulness with an honest assessment,
- 27:17Speaker 1: So we sit down in quiet, maybe with a journal,
- 27:22Speaker 1: and we write about what is it that we really
- 27:24Speaker 1: want from life? Now? If you're married or you have
- 27:26Speaker 1: a family, you can sit down with your family and say, hey,
- 27:28Speaker 1: as a household, what do we really want from life now?
- 27:32Speaker 1: If you notice everybody wants material things, those are things
- 27:35Speaker 1: that money can buy. And then you can ask how
- 27:38Speaker 1: does that improve upon the things that money can't buy?
- 27:41Speaker 1: Because for a lot of children, they want security. They
- 27:44Speaker 1: want to be to know that they're important, they want
- 27:47Speaker 1: to be cared for, they want to know that people
- 27:49Speaker 1: are listening to them. Now, what they say might be
- 27:52Speaker 1: complete nonsense, but as a parent, that gives you an
- 27:55Speaker 1: opportunity to gauge the situation. We can judge them by
- 27:59Speaker 1: their fruits of their labor, and then we can make adjustments,
- 28:02Speaker 1: and that's curation.
- 28:03Speaker 2: So when I plant a spring garden, I will weed
- 28:06Speaker 2: the garden.
- 28:07Speaker 1: But I'll understand what the weeds are so that I
- 28:09Speaker 1: know that I'm not taking away anything that has value
- 28:12Speaker 1: by the way we do eat the weeds. So a
- 28:15Speaker 1: lot of times I'm going to plant a garden and
- 28:16Speaker 1: half the gardens things that I didn't even plant. But
- 28:19Speaker 1: they're edible, they're beneficial, they're herbs, they're things I can
- 28:22Speaker 1: dry for tea and so on. So we're understanding ourselves
- 28:28Speaker 1: in the context of definition, in the context of desire,
- 28:32Speaker 1: in the context of our closest knit group, rather than
- 28:38Speaker 1: the judgment of others, rather than social systems that have
- 28:41Speaker 1: been put out before you, rather than maybe how your
- 28:44Speaker 1: parents did things. And we're assessing these things to say
- 28:48Speaker 1: we're going to keep this, we're going to change that,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and we're going to move forward. So that personal assessment,
- 28:55Speaker 1: that understanding of who we are, and now we can
- 28:58Speaker 1: also look at our skills in that. So number one
- 29:01Speaker 1: again is going to be that assessment. Now there are
- 29:04Speaker 1: written assessments you can take in the business world. You
- 29:06Speaker 1: can take the Kobe Exam, there's a personality tests, that's
- 29:10Speaker 1: a place to start. But I'm talking about really doing
- 29:12Speaker 1: the work, sitting down in a quiet evening, sharing a
- 29:15Speaker 1: meal with your family and saying, how are things going
- 29:18Speaker 1: and what can we improve? Number Two, we want to
- 29:23Speaker 1: do the necessary work to clearly define the outcomes we
- 29:28Speaker 1: most desire. Now, again, desire is not always aligned with benefit,
- 29:35Speaker 1: and so we want to be thinking about the benefit.
- 29:38Speaker 1: We want to be thinking about the context. And by
- 29:40Speaker 1: the way, this is work. I want to get a
- 29:42Speaker 1: notebook or a journal, and we're going to write these
- 29:44Speaker 1: things down in the form of goals. Now, a lot
- 29:47Speaker 1: of times clients will come to me and I'll say, hey,
- 29:49Speaker 1: what's your goal for the next year. What would you
- 29:51Speaker 1: like to accomplish over the next year. What's the type
- 29:53Speaker 1: of outcome that once you produce, you're going to have
- 29:56Speaker 1: great satisfaction in doing so. Not something necessarily rag about,
- 30:00Speaker 1: but something that you would feel that moves you forward
- 30:03Speaker 1: as a person. And a lot of times you say, oh,
- 30:06Speaker 1: I like to have million dollars all right, would you
- 30:08Speaker 1: like to have a million dollars in cash or would
- 30:10Speaker 1: you have like a million dollars in assets? And why
- 30:13Speaker 1: would that million dollars be interesting? And valuable, and then
- 30:16Speaker 1: it just degrades from there because that was just the
- 30:18Speaker 1: first thing that came to their mind. They don't really
- 30:20Speaker 1: care if they had a million dollars. A lot of
- 30:22Speaker 1: times they just care that they have enough to pay
- 30:24Speaker 1: for their family and take care of their kids and
- 30:27Speaker 1: make sure they can go to college. It's always far
- 30:30Speaker 1: more complex, but we can digest that down into a
- 30:34Speaker 1: smart goal, something that's specific, something that's measurable, something that's actionable,
- 30:39Speaker 1: and so on and so on and so on and
- 30:42Speaker 1: so again. Number two is to write these down. And
- 30:43Speaker 1: by the way, you don't have to be perfect with this.
- 30:45Speaker 1: You can do a quick pass right after the podcast
- 30:48Speaker 1: rather than listening to something else. You sit down and
- 30:50Speaker 1: you say, okay, you know, what are my skills? What
- 30:52Speaker 1: resources do I have? Number two? What goals? What outcomes
- 30:56Speaker 1: do we want to create? Number three is a gap
- 31:00Speaker 1: analysis to look at where you are in relation to
- 31:04Speaker 1: these desires or these outcomes. And we honestly look at
- 31:08Speaker 1: our state of intention, so our current state. Where are
- 31:13Speaker 1: we We're not looking in the past, We're not comparing
- 31:17Speaker 1: our current state to anybody else. We're saying, where am
- 31:20Speaker 1: I right now in my life? Where am I right
- 31:21Speaker 1: now in my career. Then from that we develop a
- 31:25Speaker 1: plan to bridge to where we want to be. Now again,
- 31:29Speaker 1: we're constantly saying, is this really what I want? Am
- 31:31Speaker 1: I willing to put in the work, and many clients
- 31:34Speaker 1: are not willing to put in the work. Now Again,
- 31:35Speaker 1: if you have the means, you can hire somebody to
- 31:37Speaker 1: do the work for you. You could build out a system,
- 31:39Speaker 1: you could build a business, you could build an ecosystem. Again,
- 31:47Speaker 1: write that plan down number four. We're going to take
- 31:49Speaker 1: action right now in the smallest areas. Now, there's many
- 31:54Speaker 1: ways to take action. But like soil biology, like the
- 31:58Speaker 1: creatures living on your skins in there's something we're gonna
- 32:02Speaker 1: do right now. If I go out and I'm turning
- 32:04Speaker 1: compost and I'm trimming hoofs on the goats, I'm getting
- 32:07Speaker 1: everything cleaned up, and I smell bad, I can't I
- 32:12Speaker 1: know what I can do. I know that I don't
- 32:15Speaker 1: want to smell bad. And I know I'm giving you
- 32:17Speaker 1: an agricultural example, but that's off the top of my
- 32:20Speaker 1: head because I'm feeding the animals after we do this recording.
- 32:23Speaker 1: But I can go and with some soap in a
- 32:27Speaker 1: rag and clean up to smell not bad, to smell neutral. Again,
- 32:33Speaker 1: the goal is is what actions can you take right
- 32:35Speaker 1: now to gain a neutral position? So right now, if
- 32:38Speaker 1: you're losing money in business, that's a negative position. What
- 32:41Speaker 1: do we got to do to break even? Because once
- 32:44Speaker 1: you're breaking broke even, then we can profit. So we're
- 32:47Speaker 1: looking at an incremental growth here. Now. If you're a
- 32:50Speaker 1: subject matter expert, an entrepreneur, or an executive, pay close
- 32:54Speaker 1: attention because this is something you can do through your people.
- 32:57Speaker 1: This is something you can do yourself. We actually have
- 33:00Speaker 1: a coaching program. So if you're interested in massive growth
- 33:04Speaker 1: and you want to discover how to overcome million dollar problems. See,
- 33:06Speaker 1: this is something when you're going through here, when you're
- 33:08Speaker 1: on step number two and you're starting to determine the outcomes.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Are your goals too small? Are your goals too small?
- 33:16Speaker 1: Are you just trying to make things a little better
- 33:19Speaker 1: or a lot better? See, your goals can stretch, but
- 33:22Speaker 1: your actions need to be incremental. And so what I
- 33:26Speaker 1: form and you can do this yourself. The reason I'm
- 33:29Speaker 1: telling you about this is because if you've got some
- 33:31Speaker 1: stakeholders in your business, if you've got a family unit,
- 33:34Speaker 1: if you've got a group of close friends. You can
- 33:37Speaker 1: do what I'm about to describe for you, and in
- 33:40Speaker 1: doing so, you're going to gain measurable results beyond your
- 33:44Speaker 1: current state. You're going to become more resilient. You're going
- 33:47Speaker 1: to produce rather than consume. And see, this is criteria
- 33:51Speaker 1: of that action. If what I'm about to do produces
- 33:55Speaker 1: more value. So I'm going to go feed the goats.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I'm going to go feed the ducks. In doing so,
- 34:02Speaker 1: it makes them more productive for milk, more productive for meat,
- 34:07Speaker 1: the ducks themselves, makes them more productive for eggs. It's
- 34:10Speaker 1: a very important season right now. Now that it's spring.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Where we're moving, we're about eleven hours of sunlight a day.
- 34:14Speaker 1: We're going for fourteen hours of sunlight a day. At
- 34:17Speaker 1: fourteen hours of sunlight day, the ducks are going to
- 34:19Speaker 1: lay eggs. So the investment I need to make in
- 34:21Speaker 1: those ducks right now is making sure they have good nutrition,
- 34:23Speaker 1: making sure they have good shelter, making sure they have
- 34:26Speaker 1: a safe environment. Again four steps at inside strategic relations.
- 34:32Speaker 1: This is what we look at. What are your skills
- 34:36Speaker 1: and resources you have to I'm not saying you got
- 34:38Speaker 1: to go get new stuff. The marketing world's telling you
- 34:41Speaker 1: that you're broken and you have to get this thing
- 34:43Speaker 1: here to be fixed. I'm saying that there's some current
- 34:47Speaker 1: state right now that's acceptable, But if you don't want
- 34:51Speaker 1: to accept it, then what do we have to do
- 34:52Speaker 1: to build a framework, to build a plan that takes
- 34:56Speaker 1: us to the next level. And so what I do
- 34:58Speaker 1: is I help my client create meaningful and lasting.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Results through business relationships.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Now, there are different modalities that you may be familiar with,
- 35:06Speaker 1: so we're going to build on your experiences. There may
- 35:09Speaker 1: be different conditions. Maybe you want to start a homestead
- 35:12Speaker 1: or a farm and you're in a retirement state. Maybe
- 35:15Speaker 1: you just got laid off and breaking even is just
- 35:18Speaker 1: getting any kind of income in and so you want
- 35:21Speaker 1: to get some clarity because you feel like maybe you're
- 35:23Speaker 1: bouncing around. So what I do, and again I'm not
- 35:27Speaker 1: trying to pitch you on coaching because there's only a
- 35:30Speaker 1: few slots available from time to time, but I want
- 35:33Speaker 1: you to understand that you can develop this approach starting
- 35:38Speaker 1: from where you are today. If you and your spouse
- 35:40Speaker 1: sit down, are you in a significant other, sit down
- 35:42Speaker 1: and say, hey, what would you like life to look
- 35:45Speaker 1: like from five years from now? Again, that's a common
- 35:49Speaker 1: question that people ask in the business world wh they're
- 35:51Speaker 1: hiring people. The employer will say, where do you see
- 35:55Speaker 1: yourself in five years now? The employer hopes you say
- 35:58Speaker 1: that you see yourself there working because I know that
- 36:00Speaker 1: after the third year they're not going to have to
- 36:02Speaker 1: give you very much raise and you're going to be
- 36:04Speaker 1: in a situation where you're comfortable. These four steps is
- 36:09Speaker 1: not about finding comfort. It's about finding that path to
- 36:14Speaker 1: the positive state of growth, stability, enjoyment, and challenge. I
- 36:23Speaker 1: believe humans need challenge.
- 36:25Speaker 2: A lot of times my clients, I don't want them
- 36:28Speaker 2: to be in.
- 36:29Speaker 1: A stable state for their sake, and so very often
- 36:33Speaker 1: I ask what's next?
- 36:34Speaker 2: And so you need to be asking yourself what's next.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Maybe you feel like that you've reached the pinnacle of
- 36:39Speaker 1: your career, ask what's next? Develop a healthy incremental growth,
- 36:46Speaker 1: focus on things like health, wealth, and wisdom. I personally
- 36:49Speaker 1: took a sabbatical because I was having some problems, and
- 36:53Speaker 1: the problems are associated with me pushing too hard in
- 36:56Speaker 1: a direction that it was more imposed upon me than
- 37:00Speaker 1: desired by me. And this happens in life. Maybe you're
- 37:04Speaker 1: this is the second reorganization in a year, and you're
- 37:07Speaker 1: now got a manager that you don't really like, and
- 37:09Speaker 1: you're thinking about, Hey, what am I going to do
- 37:11Speaker 1: about this? Should I just suffer through it? Or should
- 37:14Speaker 1: I find a new opportunity? The devil I know versus
- 37:16Speaker 1: the devil that I is unknown. Well, don't look at
- 37:19Speaker 1: it that way. Take the four steps. Assess what you have.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Assess the skills that you have. Look at numbers two.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Look at the goals and outcomes that you desire or
- 37:31Speaker 1: that you want to actually define them, write them down.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Be mindful of this. What is it going to look
- 37:38Speaker 1: like when I achieve that state? They were going to
- 37:40Speaker 1: develop a plan to use those skills, And in developing
- 37:44Speaker 1: that plan, we're doing a gap analysis. All right, I
- 37:49Speaker 1: currently weigh I currently weigh two hundred and ten pounds.
- 37:52Speaker 1: I like to weigh one hundred and eighty five pounds.
- 37:55Speaker 1: What's going to make the difference to get there? Well,
- 37:58Speaker 1: there's criteria tied to those goals and frameworks. And if
- 38:01Speaker 1: we were working with a video I could show you
- 38:04Speaker 1: how to hang those things off. If I had a whiteboard,
- 38:06Speaker 1: I could show you how to hang those criteria and
- 38:09Speaker 1: characteristics off of the goal in order to define and
- 38:12Speaker 1: determine if that's the goal you want, if you're willing
- 38:14Speaker 1: to put in the effort. I'm willing to put in
- 38:17Speaker 1: the effort. And that's why on the farm of howling
- 38:18Speaker 1: materials around and I'm I'm, you know, up early in
- 38:22Speaker 1: the morning doing the things that I need to do.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I'm also going to the gym again. What is your goal,
- 38:26Speaker 1: what is your current state? Where is it that you
- 38:29Speaker 1: want to go? And then when you take action, very
- 38:32Speaker 1: often a outside observer can help you know whether action A,
- 38:38Speaker 1: B or C is worth the effort, and we can
- 38:41Speaker 1: go through simple measures. But what I'm offering here if
- 38:45Speaker 1: you want to be considered in my coaching program, because
- 38:47Speaker 1: we do have programs like this and courses and materials,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and it depends on what level you want, then go
- 38:53Speaker 1: ahead and visit www dot Inside Strategic relations dot com
- 38:58Speaker 1: slash contact and leave me a message stating your interest
- 39:02Speaker 1: and what challenges you'd like to overcome. Okay, So I'm
- 39:05Speaker 1: just throwing that out there because there are some people
- 39:07Speaker 1: who've maybe been with the podcast for a while, they've
- 39:10Speaker 1: listened to past episodes, maybe they've got programs or reports
- 39:14Speaker 1: from me, and they want to take it to the
- 39:15Speaker 1: next level. At a minimum, though, reassess the information you
- 39:21Speaker 1: consume to make sure it's driving you forward. Because do
- 39:25Speaker 1: you really need to know that there's a war somewhere
- 39:27Speaker 1: on the planet right now? Now I'm not saying being ignorant,
- 39:30Speaker 1: that war might be an opportunity. I've worked with a
- 39:32Speaker 1: lot of government contractors. Like I said, I work with
- 39:35Speaker 1: a lot of senior level executives, entrepreneurs, and subject matter experts,
- 39:39Speaker 1: and that war might be an opportunity for you to
- 39:41Speaker 1: write a commissioned report, to do a consulting assignment, to
- 39:45Speaker 1: leverage a relationship in order to help somebody solve a problem.
- 39:49Speaker 1: This is about becoming a producer rather than being becoming
- 39:53Speaker 1: a consumer. In fact, this methodology that I'm describing here,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I go into depth in a program called what do
- 39:59Speaker 1: you Want? How Do you Get It? Because very often
- 40:01Speaker 1: the exercise the four steps I gave you today, if
- 40:04Speaker 1: you sincerely start working on them, you're gonna you're gonna
- 40:08Speaker 1: reveal not just the problems that you face, in the
- 40:10Speaker 1: obstacles you face, but how to overcome those easily. Uh So,
- 40:14Speaker 1: this particular report and you can you can There should
- 40:16Speaker 1: be a link in the description helps you provide a
- 40:19Speaker 1: meditative exercise to go from uncertainty to clarity and path. Again,
- 40:24Speaker 1: look at the path. The seasons are changing, and in
- 40:28Speaker 1: this season of spring, we're planting seeds into soil that
- 40:32Speaker 1: has been cared for over the winter.
- 40:34Speaker 2: It was mulched out, it was it was not tilled.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Uh, there's now a clean slate to start with in
- 40:41Speaker 1: the spring. But if I don't buy the seed, and
- 40:45Speaker 1: I don't get the plants, and I don't put them
- 40:46Speaker 1: in the ground, then come summer there won't be a harvest.
- 40:51Speaker 1: And so you need to better understand what you want
- 40:54Speaker 1: and that's what this UH, this report does. You can
- 40:56Speaker 1: download because not everybody's going to qualify for coaching, not
- 40:59Speaker 1: everybody's going to be a good consulting client. But again,
- 41:01Speaker 1: if you want to get this report, you can on
- 41:03Speaker 1: your own schedule, on your own time. You can remove
- 41:06Speaker 1: the barriers of perception that create obstacles in your path
- 41:10Speaker 1: to purpose. But again I've given you the four steps.
- 41:14Speaker 1: There's nothing to buy if you don't want to, if
- 41:16Speaker 1: you don't want to go any further, you can start
- 41:18Speaker 1: with what we have here. Grab your journal, do an assessment,
- 41:22Speaker 1: go through the assessments you've done in the past. The
- 41:26Speaker 1: biggest common denominator here is that we're removing distractions. We're
- 41:29Speaker 1: not trying to do more, We're trying to do more
- 41:32Speaker 1: meaningful things that we've thought about, we've meditated upon, we've
- 41:38Speaker 1: had silence and thoughtfulness on, and then we move forward
- 41:43Speaker 1: from there. I'm just in hit Withinside Strategic Relations, where
- 41:46Speaker 1: we help you transform business relationships into meaningful profit. Meaning
- 41:50Speaker 1: is the keyword here. Just doing something else because that's
- 41:55Speaker 1: what society expects of you, Just doing something else, because
- 41:58Speaker 1: that's the way we've always done it. That's why the
- 42:02Speaker 1: majority is not successful. It takes the courage to try
- 42:07Speaker 1: something just a little bit different, with intention, with the
- 42:11Speaker 1: willingness and desire to serve other people, because again, all
- 42:14Speaker 1: things in life we've gained have come through other people.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Even the satisfaction of our relationship is at least a
- 42:21Speaker 1: fifty to fifty responsibility.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Your behavior is their behaviors together in harmony.
- 42:27Speaker 1: And so again, if you're interested in coaching www dot
