• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to pick up a conversation. If you missed
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our last episode, you want to go back to our
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: last episode. We're talking about work life balance and challenges there.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And one of the tools that came up in that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: conversation is one that Bill's worked with. I actually hadn't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: heard it before, but the concept I understood, not this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: specific tool, and so I'm excited for Bill to share
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a different tool, different understanding perspective
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to understand balance in life. And yeah, we're just going
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to get into it today on the podcast. So Bill,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about this tool and kind of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: where you came with it, and we'll pull up here
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in a minute for everyone to see watching on YouTube or
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: LinkedIn with us. Sure.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the Wheel of Life is a tool I've used
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: both in my own life in as a as a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: participant in groups and also as the leader of groups.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You know helping other people achieve balance. What it is
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: is it's based on the idea of a flat tire.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: You know, if if you're driving down the road and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: your tire's flat, you're gonna notice the difference in the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in the ride quality, and you know you're gonna go
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: thumpety thumpety thumpany thump. Well if you're when those all
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: four tires or two, I guess if you're if you're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: on a motorcycle.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: If all your tires are are properly inflated, then you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: get a nice smooth ride and you know, so you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: things go well or better anyway. And and the idea
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the wheel of life is is the same is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that if you're not working on all the parts of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: your life, whatever portion of your life you want to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you want to deal with, then you're going to notice
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the difference in your in how smooth your right is.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You know, if if you're not developing your recreational habits
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: habits well, then you know, then that part of the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: tire will be flat. If you're not, if you're not
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: balancing your finances properly, then that'll be flat, you know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And and you can have several most people don't have
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a perfectly round wheel of life, at least not at
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: all times. And but but by having the wheel, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: can look and see what parts of your life are
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: flatter and work on them. You know, know, oh, you
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: know what I need to work on my relationships. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: need to work on my personal relationships or business relationships,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: or if you're doing this in solely a business and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: vince air, you know, my my recovery time from from
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: work I need to work on. Or maybe that's perfect,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And and you have other things to work on. You know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: everybody's got something they need to to work on with it,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and this is just a great tool for helping you
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: see what parts need to be worked on, and you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: can do it in many ways. You can adapt it
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to many different you know, people's lives or or areas
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of their lives. You know, you can have a different
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: one for work than you do at home. You know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe you don't want to talk about romance at work,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you know that might not be appropriate, but certainly the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: one you do for yourself at home, well, of course
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about your romantic relationships because that's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: important and important part of a human life. You know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and you know you could you could work it out
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in church or in a church group, or or really
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: whatever group you may be you may be working with.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I know, I know you have any I know you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: brought along an image here that we wanted to show.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe we could throw that up there for folks to see. Here, Bill,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so there we go, so here hereeah, go ahead, Bill.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I like I like this one as I was searching
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: for a for a graphic to share, mostly because it
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: has the drawing of the flat spots on the tire.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But you can see, you know, you've got your you've
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: got your wheel, your circle right there, and you've got
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: each section has a different title on it, and you
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: can see their dots going up at each level of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the of the tire to show how well inflated you are.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And you just go through and decide where you are
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in each group in each category. He and uh and decide,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like where am I at in in
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the development of this Am I at a six in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: business and career? Or is it a nine? You know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you'll you'll have to be honest and decide that you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: know the same thing with the other categories. You know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: other other categories. Uh could be uh, you know, you
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: could have one for family, you could have one for friends.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I really like contribution to society. I hadn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: seen that one on a on another graphic that I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was looking at. Yeah, but that's a that's a good one.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do you how do you contribute to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to the rest of society and uh and make you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a well rounded person. It can be you can be
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: fewer numbers of categories. It can be more numbers of categories.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's all depends on how complicated you want to get.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: If you want to have fewer levels in it, if
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you want to do four six levels instead of ten,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: you can do that too, you know, and grow it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But you Yeah, we just might be a good place.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So you know, we were talking about this last week. Bill.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So I use a couple of different frameworks. One of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: them is the is the wake up way, which I'm
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: trained on. And we have simply four four domains. Four
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: main domains. We talk about our body. That could be
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: health in this case, right, Uh, we talk about business,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: so you have business and career. Business could also you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: could lump in finances possibly in that. Yeah, that's true. Right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you talk about So I'm just gonna, uh as people
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: are listening how they can figure out for them what's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: what are the domains, how they want to break them down.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But uh so it's a body business. We call it balance.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But balance is basically what you said, family and friends,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that's relate or relationships just in general. And we talk
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: about being, which is spiritual. On this particular one you have,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we don't see anything about spirituality, although you see something
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: maybe contributions is charity, which could be you know, how
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you're how you're giving giving back, contributions to society, contributions
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to society in my So that's an example of a four.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And then I also use the full Focused Planner, which
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: we also talked about last week. And in that one
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: there's like gold details I have right here, so you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: guys can kind of see you all along. But in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that one, for comparison, the domains they have are spiritual, parental, intellectual, social, emotional, vocational, physical,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a vocational, marital, and financial. So I see overlaps in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: some of these where we talk about, yeah, hobbies, there's
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like hobbies or fun and recreation in there right, vocational
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or career social could be fun recreation too.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: You know, although social social environment can be a separate
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: one as well. You know, how how do you involve
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: because fun and recreation can be playing video games by
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: yourself at home too. But but you know, having community
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: community and social environment would include you know, going out
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to go do things out in out in public, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: with other people, uh, in the courts, community sports.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I like that perspective, Bill. What about I think we've
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: talked about on this podcast. You know the five years
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: or is a way of being So like when you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: say playing a video game that's kind of you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it could be that could be rejuvenating to you or
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just hiking by yourself. Right, So thinking about like I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: call what gear of life I'm man? If you will
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I am I rejuvenating? Am I in a social mode
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of just talking to a lot of people? Or maybe
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it's like you said, romance is like more of that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: deeper one on one connection. Or am I just working
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and having lots of tasks that might be more under
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: business possibly? So thinking about your mode of operation? Does
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that make sense? Yeah?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it absolutely does. Yeah, And like I said, you
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: can you can use a wheel of life for for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: each of those uh stages you know, you know, when
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you when you get to community uh and UH and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: social environment, you know, you could be talking about how
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: often you go out and interact with other people, how
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: well you interact with other people if you if you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: get involved in community sports, what's your uh, what's your sportsmanship?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You know, you know your sportsmanship in general, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and uh and other things having to do with the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: with that your effort, your your intent as as it were,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to contribute to to the groups you're involved with.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. When you when you when you look at
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: this bill on this zero to to you know, one
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to ten scale, I would imagine to be this be
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: more effective? Is there's some kind of indicator? I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: this where a good coach or where this was probably
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: where you can do it on your own. But I think,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and I love you your experience in this where you're
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: working with groups or helping folks, But I would imagine,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, what does what does what does a ten
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: look like? For you? In business or career? You know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: what's a way of looking at it like right or
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: what is that? You know? So at those different levels,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you know what is that for you? And I think,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: wo a good coach you would you say, help you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: kind of unpack that and help you visualize what that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: could be.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would very much be part of
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the coach's job. Of course, if you're doing this on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: your own, then you'd need to figure it out.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But you know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Something, you know, some of the guidelines could be how
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: satisfied or happy you are with your with your career
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: right now, you know where you're at. I mean I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say where you plan to be because then you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: could always be at a five instead of you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I never reach a ten because I'm never never going
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: to get to where i want to be. You know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I want to be in the C suite. I want
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to be CEO, you know what what have you? You know?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But but you know, I think I think general job
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: satisfaction career satisfaction would be a big part of figuring
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: out where you're at in that are you actually progressing
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: to where you eventually want to be? That could that
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: could come into play. But but yeah, I mean there's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: so many different things that you could add into it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I think really being doing doing it as as with
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: a coach of some kind would would be very beneficial,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: especially for a for an area like that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, especially I think the timing of a year. Right,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: we're recording this year at the end of November twenty four,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: We're going into twenty twenty five, and I really think,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you know, people I start, you know, start thinking about
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what does next year look like. We'll start envisioning that. Now.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: A framework I use with the Warrior coaching I do,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Bill is we have kind of an assessments. I haven't
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: used this before, but I want to ask your thoughts
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: on it, because you know, we kind of give a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: range of am I from A one to one ten?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Let's just say so, like, let's just say between one
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, one and two or two and a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: half or so, let's just say, am I like completely
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel? Is this completely because right you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: go that red line is like completely like you're on
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: empty pretty much. I mean that's pretty pretty pointed. Am
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I just completely asleep? Or am I getting into maybe
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the range of A four or a five. I'm starting
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to wake up to these things, like, Hey, this is important.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to pay attention, right, And then what you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: said is like, do just using the numbers and I'm
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: trying to kind of run a parallel. I'm getting your
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: feedback here. But as I look at that and say, okay,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going from a sleep where I'm like completely completely
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: flat tired and maybe I've got a little bit of
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: air on the tire, so to speak, awake or active
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: where it's you know, pretty it's it's actually it's actually
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: pretty full. It's getting there, it's active or like getting
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in there or like or is this a high performance tire?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: You know? Are we actually able to accelerate it because
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we've got into such a position right where it's not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: just a seven or seven or an eight let's just say,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but we're starting to get into the nine to the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: ten where this is like high performance. Like you know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm I know for sure, I'm pretty close to the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: top of my game. Always there's room for improvement because
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you see it even goes past ten in this particular way.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It goes actually past ten whatever that might be. You know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But when when I when I share that with you, Bill,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: does that does that work? Does that resonate with you?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to apply this.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely, yeah, going with the I mean, and it
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: goes below one too, so so the scale can you know, uh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you know, zero, one, two, maybe one two three. You know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I'm in real trouble here, you know, especially you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: something like financeers or health, you know, which are which
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: are the things that that that power the rest of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the rest of this, you know, and how can I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: improve those things?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Those lower numbers are where you seriously need to consider
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: getting help, not just consider you need to get help
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: because because yeah, you're you're in big trouble there, you know.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Getting up into the middle numbers, the three, four, five, six,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: somewhere around and there it's like, this is the consideration
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: phase where it's like I need to seriously consider what
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I'm doing in this area. Do I need help or
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: or can I still or can I still do it? Especially,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you know, especially in the in the higher portion of
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that of that phase that you know, it's like you
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: get down to six and it's like, how do I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: need help or can I still do this myself? And
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you know, get a maybe get some kind of self
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: help book or or get somebody in my who is
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: already in my life to help me see how I
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: can change and do this. And then of course the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: higher numbers, the seven or ten, you know, it's the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: is that things are nearly there. You know, you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the the tire it's the tires not low enough to
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: trigger the tire pressure monitor. Yeah, you know, and uh
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and set off the little alarm in the car.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Would you say, I mean because you broughte that a question.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think some people say, well, if you're
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: A one or two, you're definitely in trouble. But the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: way I look at this, these this this scale, uh,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: as you're as you're explaining into it, Bill, it seems exponential,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: meaning I mean a little bit of move as you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: move out can have a great, great, great impact. Right, Oh, yeah, absolutely,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And so would you say, as whatever you're doing at
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: level one or two, or three or four, even whatever
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the level below you, you have to start doing things
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: differently or thinking differently because you can't keep doing that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and expecting to just jump up a level, right right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's you know true, you know, all
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the old saying has always been true that you can't
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: use the same techniques that got you into trouble to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: get you out. So, yeah, you're you're down to a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: one or two, then you need to change your habits
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: severely if you want to get up to a tent.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: And because because it does get it does get a
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: little more difficult to improve as you get higher up
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in there, you know, in the in the scale. You know, like, well,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: we talked about about the perfection paradox last week and
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: talking about how as you approach perfection it gets more
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: exponentially more difficult. The line goes from being fairly flat
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to being you know, at a forty five almost to
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: a ninety degree angle as you're trying to climb that
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: mountain and U and so yeah, to get and this
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: is one of those things where you should continue to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: strive for for improvement.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: This isn't like like Benjamin Franklin's personal improvement uh chart,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: where he stopped because he realized that the better he
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: got at all the other parts of his life, the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: worse he'd be in humility. So uh yeah, it's like,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: so I can't be if I'm perfect to every other area,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I'll never be perfectly humble.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: So boy, I won't be perfect in every area. So
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that's not a problem.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: No, no, but no, neither neither shall I. But but
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: it's something to continue to strive for, you know, But
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: but not so much that it takes away from the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: time for the other areas. You know, you can strive
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: for great health, for incredible health, but the question is says,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: what will you have? There comes a point which you know, Okay,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I look like the rock, you know, and and uh,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and I don't need to see the doctor anymore for anything.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: But now I don't have the time to contribute to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: society because you're spending I'm spending twelve hours a day
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: at the.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Gym, right, you know, Yeah, you're you're and essentially you're
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you're trying to do this holistically, right, so you want
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: all of them rise, Yeah, which is it's very difficult.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It's a very difficult. We call it. We call it
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the impossible game and warrior trying to do all even
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just the four domains, because like you said, and we
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: also naturally gravitate to some areas we're better at than
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: others too, So those are naturally better at finances, were
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: naturally better at health, and it's easy to stay in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: those domains in which we're quote unquote winning and not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: actually kind of dismissed the other domains. Have you ever
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: seen that, I mean, I've seen it. I did it myself. Yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: in my health, it could be better, but I'm doing
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good in my spiritual walk or some area. But
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm making it kind of an excuse, like, well,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I'm doing okay in this area, but I really need
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to be you know, pay attention to all of them, right, Yeah,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: yeah you do.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And one thing to bear in mind is is you
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: can put different importance on the different on the different areas.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: As far as you know, it's like how much fun
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: do I want to have? You know, when you're looking
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: at fun and recreation or recovery if you want to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: use a more business friendly term. You know, fun doesn't
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: exactly scream you know, hey, I'm serious about my business.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: But recovery time certainly could you know, maybe you don't
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: need to be an all all out, you know, get
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: all out recovery. Remember that, you know, you don't want
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to spend twenty four to seven doing one thing. And
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that's true, whether it's something like health or finances or
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: something like like fun and recovery, you know. And yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the piece in dex I remember bring that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I was going to bring that up. Yeah, I was gonna, well,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I think because as you're talking, Bill, because I wanted
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to pull this one up. This is one I use.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this in the podcast before, but you know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the same idea here of looking at this. This uses
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the five domains if you will, your wedding, your purpose
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and we talked about career earlier, or what are you're
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: living for or even community. You know. I like the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I really thought that was an interesting one. The community
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: involvement giving back that could be part of your purpose.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: But the people or the relationships right the place that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I live, actually is it because that could contribute like
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: your how's your home life, work life? You know, what
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: does that look? What does that look like? The provision
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: talked about financial and then of course personal help. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to offer this up for those that are that
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: are listening in. You can simply go to suit your business,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: dot com, slash p stash index uh and take a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: free assessment. This is a free one. It does it
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: just it does focuses on just these five domains, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it gives you kind of an assessment as to you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: know what what these numbers are. So there's one that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you can do to you know. I like the statement.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Here is a simple but powerful way to conquer chaos
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and find fulfillment because we have these chaotic life right,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, here's a way of assessing and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: this one is absolutely free. So if anybody wants to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: check that out, it's free, you know, or just message me.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And again you can also message Bill here as you're listening,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and we're all about bringing value to you here, helping you,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you know, helping you you know, get information and apply it. Right,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: we're trying to give you take what you're watching and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: listening here on the podcast today, this wheel of Life tool.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I never heard of it, but when I when Bill explained,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: has explained to thank you Bill for sharing it here today.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Is that it starts to bring awareness of like how
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: how do I look at my life? Right? And I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: just even the different words that you shared, Bill, like
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I think a marital but you're just throwing in the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: word romance in there causes me to think, oh, well,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm not thinking that way and I need to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: be thinking about that way differently, you know.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Well that's why that's why getting help from someone can
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: be so valuable, because you get someone to give a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: different perspective. I mean, one person's going to come up
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: with the word romance to add into the the the
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: evaluation somebody else is going to add in spirituality you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know you're relationship with God can
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: certainly be should certainly be an important and important aspect
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of one's life. There there really should be a spiritual
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: aspect of everyone's life, whatever your belief happens to be,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: because it can be important, you know, instead of just
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: putting it into recovery time or recreation. Although I don't
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: think most people would would think that worship is a
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: recreational activity. It's something that it could be lumped into.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: And you know, you have to figure out what are
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the parts of your life that are important to you
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: and how do you go about evaluating them? Yes, and uh,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: and being able to see it as a as a wheel.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I think is is very helpful for someone, especially doing
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: it on.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Their own, you know.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just just figuring it out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Well. I think this has been a great introduction. Bill.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna we're going to apply this back because we're
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: gonna having some of our returning guests come back here.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Bill and I were talking about that because we want
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to be able to go through and be transparent with
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you guys. In our life. Share those things, Uh, go
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: back if you miss the piece index. That was a great,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: great conversation we had. We'd out dove into that, that assessment,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, I would encourage you to start looking
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: at these There's many and many of these will of
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: life out there. You can look at check out the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: full Focus, but there's lots of different resources like this.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I take you through the Warrior tools and Bill will
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: help you too and guide you and I think ask
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you some reflective questions to help you really take account
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of where your life is because I think what Bill,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit last week too.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: If we don't have a strong baseline understanding of where
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we're at, you know, it's like if you're building a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: house on shifting sand, it's not you're not going to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: really be able to have a beautiful home and a place.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: It's going to fall down on you. And so we're trying.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: What we're trying to do here is help you get
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a good, strong baseline. And I appreciate you bringing this tool, Bill,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: because it's bringing awareness, hopefully awakening you to this way
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that you can be and then you can actually start
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: building on a firm foundation of reality of where I'm
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: really at and then decide, Okay, now I can figure
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: out where I want to go.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Right Yeah, And this can be a great tool, especially
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: this time of year when people are trying to, you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: figure out, Okay, what am I going to do in
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the next year, because you really need to know where
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: you've been in order to in order to know where
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you're going. You know, history, history is important. You know,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: if if your if your health is great, then you
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: know that's not something you're going to need to work
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: on this next year. You're going to need to maintain that,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: but you're not going to need to work on it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: You know, you may need to work on your your
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: personal relationships, you know, or or any number of things.

  Speaker 2: And and you know what those things are.
