HOUR 124: How To Develop GRIT (The Charged Life)

HOUR 124: The Charged Life with Brendon Burchard - Episode dated 26/6/16 How To Develop Grit

Brendon defines grit as a combination of passion and perseverance.

Here are four points to assist in developing grit:

1. Clarity: When you have clarity around what you want, your goals, this will help you find your passion. Right now what is your number one health goal, your number one work goal and number one personal goal. These will drive you towards your larger goals and passions. 
2. Prime Your Enthusiasm: Do something you enjoy everyday for about 30 minutes. This short form of enthusiasm will prepare you for being more enthusiastic about your bigger goals.   
3. Time Blocking (yes…again!!!) Time blocking stops distractions. If it’s not scheduled in your diary it will become a passing interest, however when it’s scheduled in your diary it becomes a clear commitment. 

Here’s what I know from experience: If you don’t have your own agenda scheduled each day, you’ll become part of someone else’s.   

1. Enlist A Team: You need to enlist a team of friends and family that believe in you and what you’re doing. They will help you set up a positive environment for you to pursue your passions and develop ‘true grit’.

Hour 123: Making A Good Impression with Kara Ronin

HOUR 123: Bright Minds podcast by Bright Red Marketing. Hosted by Dahna Borg. Episode 7: Making A Good Impression with Kara Ronin from Executive Impressions. 

Here are todays takeaway points:

If you want to make a good impression you need to have good social skills, and research has shown this skill is vital for business success, especially if you’re in an industry or  role where you need to connect with people. 

It’s important to note that what you say is not as important as how you say it and there are techniques that can be taught to assist in making a good impression.  

For example, use the power pause. This is when you pause from talking for two or three seconds……………………………..and then start again to drive a point home. Kara also discussed the upswing and downswing in your voice. (Watch my video or listen to the podcast for further details).

Your posture plays a huge role in making a good impression. Slouching or leaning when you talk is less effective than standing up straight when you’re communicating. Also you need to be aware of your hand positioning. 

Finally, we’ve all heard about power dressing and why wearing a dark suit is more powerful than a lighter colour suit, however Kara explained that dark accessories can be just as effective. 

In the tropics it’s not practical to wear a dark jacket, therefore for men, wearing a dark belt, trousers and shoes can have the same effect, and for ladies, wearing dark jewellery and other accessories can work the same way.

HOUR 122: How To Change The World At Age 17 with Brandon Farbstein

HOUR 122: Elevating Beyond with Mark Minard, Episode #136: How To Change The World at age 17 with Brandon Farbstein. 

At two years of age Brandon Farbstein was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism, however he never let it define who he was and at age 15 he did his first TedX talk. In this episode he talks about facing adversity head-on, bullying and why you need to face life with a positive attitude. 

Todays takeaway points:

Regardless of the cards you’re dealt with in life, it’s how you play them that really matters. Complaining about your ‘so-called’ poor hand is not serving you, or the people around you. You have to change your mindset. 

Life is too short. You don’t know if you’re going to be here for 30 years or a 100 years, it’s out of your control, however what you can control is how your live each day. Will you live each day with a ‘can-do’ attitude, or a can’t do attitude? 

And, avoid doing things you don’t enjoy. This relates to work, social circles and relationships. 

When it comes to changing the world, it won’t happen overnight, however one small act of kindness could create a ripple effect. Greeting someone with a big smile, may seem insignificant to you, but it could mean a lot to them, becasue you don’t know what’s going on in their life. Pay kindness forward.

Hour 121: How To Invest Your Money with Tai Lopez

HOUR 121: The Tai Lopez Show: Episode 17/11/16 - How To Invest Your Money with Tai Lopez. 

Here are my takeaway points:

When it comes to investing money there are negative investments, positive investments and neutral investments. 

Your lifestyle is a negative investment, however it is a necessary part of life, the goal though is to not spend more than you make. Do not go into debt. 

A positive investment is when you buy low and sell high and make a profit, and even though a classic car may be an investment, it’s never usually a great investment. 

A neutral investment neither makes or loses money and he uses leasing and renting as his examples. When you take out a lease instead of purchasing something outright , you free up your money for other investments. Also, if it’s used for business there can be tax advantages, but you need to plan this with your Accountant.

HOUR 120: The Secret To Better Problem Solving

HOUR 120: HBR Ideacast with with Sarah Green Carmichael - Episode 556: The Secret To Better Problem Solving with Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg. 

He is the author of “Are You Solving the Right Problems?” in the January / February 2017 issue of the Harvard Business Review and the author of the book 'Innovation As Usual'.

I apologise, my video today does not do this podcast the justice it deserves, but here are todays takeaway points:

When someone has a problem, the initial question they ask may not reveal the real problem. Often the question needs to be reframed in a way to find the real problem. 

For example, in the USA more than 3 million dogs end up in dog refuge centres each year and the usual question has been, “how can we find them a home?” Someone reframed the question to, “how can we reduce the number of dogs being left at the refuge by their owners and why are they doing it?” 

Reframing this question revealed the real problem for some dog owners and why they abandoned their pets, and therefore a more effective solution was found, resulting in less dogs at the refuge centre.

HOUR 119: How To Get On The Biggest Podcasts

HOUR 119: Rhodes To Success podcast with Jessica Rhodes, Episode: 7/12/16 How To Get On The Biggest Podcasts with Josh Elledge. 

Below are my takeaway points, but this is only a very brief summary of the advice shared on this podcast episode. 

1. Before you even think about being on someone else’s podcast you first have to take a serious look at your personal profile on Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook and Google. What does it say about you? Are you an authority in your industry, or do you have a unique story to tell? The podcast host will do their due diligence on ‘you’ before having you as a guest on their show. 

2. What podcasts are your ideal customers listening to? These are the sort of podcast shows you want to be on initially. Being a guest on a smaller podcast will give you practice and confidence. 

3. On your social profiles and websites, make sure you have audio and video recordings of you speaking. This will give a potential host an idea of how you speak and sound when being interviewed.

Hour 118: Challenging Industry Convention

Hour 118: The SAVVY Dentist podcast with Dr. Jesse Green, Ep: #40 Challenging Industry Convention with The Happy Family Lawyer, Clarissa Rayward. 

Clarissa Rayward is also the Director of the Brisbane Family Law Centre.

Today’s takeaway points:

1. Many professions can be boring, so its important to find elements with your profession that excite you and make you happy, and then try and turn them into a niche if you can. 
2. It’s important to build a your personal brand alongside your business brand, because they are different. Your personal brand can generate contacts and leads in a different way to your business brand.
3. Clarissa uses Facebook to advertise positions at her law practice and her friends help her find suitable candidates, and after receiving their resumes, she asks them to send a short video answering specific questions. This can cut a 100 down to 10 very quickly. 
4. In her office, some walls are covered with graffiti from a professional graffiti artist. Once again this sets her law office apart from the average law office and also makes her clients realised she is a little different.  

What are you currently doing to set yourself apart from everyone else?
