Transcript
- 0:17Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
- 0:20Speaker 1: to the Your in rid Self Podcast. I am your host,
- 0:23Speaker 1: my Le Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment
- 0:26Speaker 1: coach and all that means is I am looking up
- 0:29Speaker 1: for you. I want to make sure that as you
- 0:30Speaker 1: are navigating your life and showing up in spaces as
- 0:34Speaker 1: the best version of yourself, you are enriched. And it
- 0:38Speaker 1: starts with your mindset. It starts with what you're thinking
- 0:41Speaker 1: about and why you're thinking about it, and really compartmentalizing
- 0:45Speaker 1: those thoughts, minding the thoughts that you have each day
- 0:49Speaker 1: so you can mind them and use what you know,
- 0:54Speaker 1: what you are learning to become the best version of yourself.
- 0:59Speaker 1: That's what this podcast is all about. On this podcast,
- 1:01Speaker 1: we talk about mindset fusion topics from self care to
- 1:05Speaker 1: soul care and again intentional thinking because thoughts become things
- 1:09Speaker 1: and it starts with you. You are the common denominator
- 1:14Speaker 1: to the life that you're living and we want to
- 1:17Speaker 1: make sure that you are living your best life now.
- 1:20Speaker 1: One of the things I want to do first and
- 1:23Speaker 1: foremost is I want to thank my listeners who are
- 1:26Speaker 1: new to this podcast. If you are new here, I
- 1:28Speaker 1: want to thank you for being here because I know
- 1:30Speaker 1: the podcast streets are busy and buzzing, but you chose
- 1:33Speaker 1: to be here, and I believe that you were brought
- 1:35Speaker 1: here on purpose, for a purpose. And if you are
- 1:38Speaker 1: a repeat listener, listen. We have two hundred and twenty
- 1:41Speaker 1: episodes under our belt and it is because of you,
- 1:43Speaker 1: and I thank you for every episode you've listened to,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you've shared, you've liked, you've had conversation about, and you
- 1:49Speaker 1: have used to transform your life, because this is not
- 1:53Speaker 1: just about information. It is certainly about transformation here on
- 1:57Speaker 1: the Your Enriched Self Podcast. Now, before we get into
- 2:01Speaker 1: this week's episode, if you know you know, one of
- 2:04Speaker 1: the things that I do each and every week is
- 2:06Speaker 1: make a deposit into the bank of you, and I
- 2:09Speaker 1: do that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great
- 2:14Speaker 1: way to start your day and to command your morning.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And this week's affirmation is I am building a future
- 2:25Speaker 1: that aligns with who I am becoming. I am building
- 2:30Speaker 1: a future that aligns with who I am becoming. I
- 2:34Speaker 1: am building a future that aligns with who I am becoming. Now,
- 2:41Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
- 2:45Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. If I were to summarize this year,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I would say it has felt like I've been running
- 2:57Speaker 1: a bunch of sprints. And if you are a sprinter,
- 3:01Speaker 1: you get it because it is a taxing activity. And
- 3:04Speaker 1: if you've vised sprints as part of your exercise to
- 3:07Speaker 1: strengthen your run gain, you also understand that it is
- 3:11Speaker 1: a taxing activity and try doing that running uphill. And
- 3:15Speaker 1: in some cases this year it has felt like we've
- 3:18Speaker 1: been sprinting uphill to finish, to understand, to whatever, it
- 3:24Speaker 1: has really felt like we've been running a series of
- 3:28Speaker 1: sprints and we're coming close to the end of the year.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And if you haven't had a chance to reflect, you
- 3:36Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to pause. I want this episode
- 3:40Speaker 1: to be the opportunity to pause, to ask yourself a
- 3:43Speaker 1: very important question. And when you're doing these short term things,
- 3:48Speaker 1: and in some cases you're hitting those sprints and you're
- 3:51Speaker 1: improving your time and you're getting the gains, you're earning
- 3:55Speaker 1: those gains along the way because you've been in practice,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and that's a good thing about being in practice. But
- 4:01Speaker 1: when you're doing that activity, you tend to miss the
- 4:04Speaker 1: opportunity to look at the long term because you're focused
- 4:08Speaker 1: so much on what's happening now and this year in culture,
- 4:13Speaker 1: out of culture, politics, corporate, out of corporate. It has
- 4:18Speaker 1: literally been this year of so much coming at you
- 4:22Speaker 1: so fast, so many of us has We've had to
- 4:26Speaker 1: sprint to keep up with all of the changes and
- 4:29Speaker 1: all of the demands and everything that's been coming at us.
- 4:34Speaker 1: That's why I created this podcast. I want you to
- 4:37Speaker 1: be in a safe space do the thing that you
- 4:42Speaker 1: typically don't do, not because you don't want to. Sometimes
- 4:45Speaker 1: we don't want to, because it does require us to
- 4:48Speaker 1: look in the mirror and make some intentional decisions about
- 4:51Speaker 1: things that we just haven't sat in yet. And so
- 4:54Speaker 1: this episode is that type of episode. It is to
- 4:56Speaker 1: sit in this question, this moment episode, because it's going
- 5:02Speaker 1: to take you from where you are to where you
- 5:04Speaker 1: want to go. And so I really want to invite
- 5:06Speaker 1: you to pause and to take a long view perspective.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I know we've been running these sprints, as I mentioned, right,
- 5:13Speaker 1: So taking that long view perspective is important, especially in
- 5:19Speaker 1: a world that has been constantly shifting. The question that's
- 5:23Speaker 1: going to help propel you into next year and really
- 5:27Speaker 1: beyond is what do you want to accomplish in the
- 5:32Speaker 1: next ten years. Otherwise stated what do I want to
- 5:37Speaker 1: accomplish in the next ten years? What that's going to
- 5:42Speaker 1: do for me and for you, It's going to force clarity,
- 5:48Speaker 1: It's going to encourage intentionality. And so if you don't
- 5:53Speaker 1: have a workbook or a journal rather or something to
- 5:58Speaker 1: write with, I encourage you to come back to this episode.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Maybe the first stab at this is just to listen
- 6:04Speaker 1: intently with the intention that you're going to take action.
- 6:09Speaker 1: The next approach with this would be to sit down
- 6:12Speaker 1: and craft away at what do you want to accomplish
- 6:17Speaker 1: in these next ten years. What I think needs to happen,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and I think it's going to happen naturally, is that
- 6:25Speaker 1: it's going to lead you to do some reverse engineering
- 6:28Speaker 1: for the life that you want, Meaning what do you
- 6:32Speaker 1: want to accomplish in the next ten years? Think about
- 6:35Speaker 1: the next ten years as you're on top of the
- 6:37Speaker 1: mountain of whatever it is you have accomplished, and you
- 6:41Speaker 1: got a flag pole in there, and you are making
- 6:44Speaker 1: it no, not necessarily to anybody else but to self,
- 6:48Speaker 1: that you've accomplished the thing you want to accomplish. So
- 6:51Speaker 1: now you're on top of that ten year cycle, you've arrived.
- 6:57Speaker 1: What does that flag say? What did you accomplish in
- 7:01Speaker 1: that ten year cycle. It might be one major thing
- 7:06Speaker 1: that you've been going after and it's a big thing,
- 7:09Speaker 1: it's a big rock, or it can be several things
- 7:13Speaker 1: that you want to milestone your way into over the
- 7:17Speaker 1: next ten years. That's the first thing you want to
- 7:19Speaker 1: start with. Start with the end in mind. Then you
- 7:23Speaker 1: reverse engineer it. What do you need to do in
- 7:26Speaker 1: year nine, year eight? And as you continue to scale
- 7:31Speaker 1: it back, it's going to take you to what do
- 7:33Speaker 1: you need to do in this next month as you
- 7:35Speaker 1: close out the year, as you're preparing to close out
- 7:39Speaker 1: the year, you're gonna go back to or start with
- 7:43Speaker 1: what do you need to do in this next sixty
- 7:47Speaker 1: days and help set you up for success to that
- 7:51Speaker 1: ten year goal. Because see, the thing about it is,
- 7:54Speaker 1: it's almost like when you create a savings account of sorts,
- 7:58Speaker 1: when you first start saving the money, it doesn't look
- 8:02Speaker 1: like much, it doesn't feel like much, especially if you
- 8:07Speaker 1: do it with your eyes on it. You know, when
- 8:10Speaker 1: I save, I say with a set it and forget
- 8:14Speaker 1: it mentality, So I'm not always looking at it, but
- 8:17Speaker 1: I know that compound interest is a thing and it
- 8:21Speaker 1: will grow. And so I want you to not think
- 8:25Speaker 1: about And I say that because oftentimes when we do
- 8:28Speaker 1: these exercises, we want to see the short terms win.
- 8:32Speaker 1: The short term wins now. We don't want to wait
- 8:35Speaker 1: for ten years. We don't want to wait for the
- 8:38Speaker 1: next big milestone which might happen next year or the
- 8:40Speaker 1: year after. We want to feel, to see, to experience,
- 8:44Speaker 1: for people to see, to feel, to experience us at
- 8:47Speaker 1: that pinnacle of winning. And what I'm gonna ask you
- 8:51Speaker 1: to do in this process of re engineering how you
- 8:56Speaker 1: want to do this is don't worry about the lights
- 8:59Speaker 1: and the showtime and the confetti falling into your congratulations moment.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Focus on the goal, the accomplishment. Creating this ten year
- 9:10Speaker 1: vision helps to give you stability in unstable times. And
- 9:15Speaker 1: I think that's why I really wanted to have this
- 9:18Speaker 1: exercise be done, because everywhere you go there's changes, technology, work,
- 9:24Speaker 1: the culture that we live in. There's always and forever
- 9:29Speaker 1: will be changes. But when you identify your long term outlook,
- 9:36Speaker 1: it's going to help you identify, really what do I want?
- 9:41Speaker 1: Because when you're focused on what you want, you're not
- 9:44Speaker 1: going to be a reactive person, You're always going to
- 9:46Speaker 1: be proactive to that thing. Again, going back to these
- 9:49Speaker 1: next few weeks, and you know, leading to the end
- 9:52Speaker 1: of year, you don't want to react to what's happening
- 9:56Speaker 1: because something is something is inevitable going to happen. You
- 10:01Speaker 1: don't want to be in a reactive mode. You want
- 10:03Speaker 1: to be proactive. You want to know that you know that,
- 10:05Speaker 1: you know that this is what you got to do,
- 10:07Speaker 1: this is how you have to go. The second point
- 10:11Speaker 1: that I want to bring is the reverse engineering part.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I remember hearing that a few years back, and I
- 10:19Speaker 1: can't remember who I can credit for this, but it
- 10:22Speaker 1: was such a smart concept to think through bringing the
- 10:27Speaker 1: future into the present right Again, It's hard a lot
- 10:32Speaker 1: of times to do that because we're so enamored with
- 10:35Speaker 1: what we see. We fall into relationship with how things
- 10:40Speaker 1: look right now. We don't fall into relationship of what
- 10:43Speaker 1: things could be and why not me? And this is
- 10:47Speaker 1: such a possibility and with a few extra tweaks and
- 10:50Speaker 1: a couple of changes I can get there. We tend
- 10:54Speaker 1: to fall into relationship with what we see now, and
- 11:00Speaker 1: verse engineering says, bring the future now and get into
- 11:03Speaker 1: relationship with the future. So once you design or define
- 11:08Speaker 1: and design your ten year goal, now, as I mentioned before,
- 11:13Speaker 1: you can start asking, Okay, what has to happen in
- 11:16Speaker 1: these next three years. That's the reverse engineering. What has
- 11:20Speaker 1: to happen in these next three years. It can be
- 11:22Speaker 1: what has to happen before the end of this year, right,
- 11:26Speaker 1: what needs to happen in the next twelve months. You
- 11:29Speaker 1: know what next has to happen in the first quarter
- 11:31Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six, the next thirty days, right, as
- 11:34Speaker 1: I mentioned. So taking that approach, it turns this huge
- 11:41Speaker 1: vision that you have into what's doable. And I think
- 11:45Speaker 1: a lot of times that is why many of you
- 11:48Speaker 1: avoid looking that far ahead into the future, because you're thinking, man,
- 11:52Speaker 1: that's a long way to go. I got a lot
- 11:54Speaker 1: of things to do to get there. All these days
- 11:57Speaker 1: and weeks and months and years have to go by
- 11:59Speaker 1: before I can get there. Take a pause and recognize
- 12:02Speaker 1: that you can take steps each day, steps in the
- 12:07Speaker 1: next thirty days, steps in the next two weeks, in
- 12:10Speaker 1: the next week, whatever it takes for you to break
- 12:13Speaker 1: it down into what's doable, and finally, come man, small
- 12:19Speaker 1: moves matter. These small moves that you're making. You know,
- 12:23Speaker 1: the ones where you're not going to be recognized for
- 12:26Speaker 1: this grand event, this grand thing that you've done. You know,
- 12:30Speaker 1: these small moves that often don't get you the accolades
- 12:34Speaker 1: that the people doing the quote unquote big things are
- 12:37Speaker 1: getting you. These small moves create decade level transformation. Think
- 12:44Speaker 1: about some of the things you've been able to accomplish
- 12:46Speaker 1: this year or even years prior, especially when they're transformational
- 12:51Speaker 1: things like significant. It took you time to get there.
- 12:54Speaker 1: You didn't just get there overnight. There was a path
- 12:58Speaker 1: that you walked, there were some things that you brought in,
- 13:02Speaker 1: there were some things you carved out, and you may
- 13:05Speaker 1: not have done it with all the intention that I
- 13:07Speaker 1: want you to do this with, but you did do it.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And so I want you to recognize that those small
- 13:15Speaker 1: moves will create that decade level transformation you need. It's
- 13:23Speaker 1: just consistency. And here's the thing about consistency. Consistency may
- 13:28Speaker 1: not mean every day. It just may mean it's being
- 13:31Speaker 1: done more often than not. And I'm not making excuses
- 13:36Speaker 1: for consistency, but it may be different for you than
- 13:39Speaker 1: for someone else. They're people that go to the gym
- 13:42Speaker 1: three days a week and they get amazing results. But
- 13:44Speaker 1: they're consistently going three days a week, where there's somebody
- 13:48Speaker 1: that goes five days a week and there are people
- 13:50Speaker 1: that go every day of the week. That doesn't make
- 13:53Speaker 1: anybody's process wrong. They've created a consistent pattern that is
- 13:58Speaker 1: aligned with the things that they are going after in
- 14:02Speaker 1: that decade level transformation that's ahead, But it starts with
- 14:07Speaker 1: the three days. That person might start with three days
- 14:10Speaker 1: and end the year doing five days. And then they
- 14:13Speaker 1: might start with the three days and end the year
- 14:16Speaker 1: doing five days and eating in a more consistent, more
- 14:20Speaker 1: methodical fashion to help them not just maintain and sustain,
- 14:26Speaker 1: but also grow and gain the things they want to
- 14:30Speaker 1: get out of the process. And so that's what this
- 14:33Speaker 1: can do for you. Even something as simple as a
- 14:38Speaker 1: yearly commitment can go far. Think about a yearly commitment
- 14:44Speaker 1: for ten years. Year one, I'm gonna have this done
- 14:47Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. By October of twenty twenty six, this
- 14:50Speaker 1: is where I'm gonna be with whatever that accomplishment is.
- 14:54Speaker 1: And that's just a milestone to help you get to
- 14:55Speaker 1: year ten, and then year two and so on and
- 14:58Speaker 1: so forth. That's going to compound massively over these next
- 15:03Speaker 1: year ten years and that's where I want you to focus.
- 15:06Speaker 1: That's how I want you to build out your plan.
- 15:09Speaker 1: That's how I want you to win, and that is
- 15:11Speaker 1: what's going to take for you to be and live
- 15:16Speaker 1: the life of who you are becoming, to live a
- 15:21Speaker 1: life that transforms each and every day to eventually getting
- 15:28Speaker 1: you to your ten year accomplishment. I hope you enjoyed
