Hour 190 - Mindful versus Mind Full

HOUR 190: Lewis Howes The School Of Greatness podcast, Episode 453: MINDFUL v MIND FULL.

What’s the difference?

Mind Full is when you’re mind is full of stuff and cluttered. First thing in the morning you’ll grab your phone, or start responding to emails without even thinking. Very little thought goes into your daily planning and you’re very reactive to incoming stimuli. 

Mindful on the other hand is a peaceful, uncluttered mind, that is intentional with every thought, decision and action. A mindful person plans their day and is always present. 

Being mindful is not difficult, you just need to remember to do it.

Hour 189 - Communicating Over Social Media

The Denise Griffitts podcast, dated 24/2/17, Communicating Over Social Media with Felicia Slattery.

Today’s takeaway points:

1. Stop posting stuff that wastes everyones time. 
2. Stop sharing your political opinion…unless you’re a politician. It immediately alienates 50% of the people you know. 
3. When you post something try and be positive or neutral. If you must be negative, you need to have a good reason. 
4. People are looking at your social profile and are deciding if they should or should not do business with you, so the a look at your most recent posts…What does it say about you?

Hour 188 - Threats To Your Self Image

HOUR 188: The Ziglar Show podcast with Kevin Miller, Episode 454: Threats To Your Self-Image. 

At the beginning of this episode Zig outlines numerous threats to developing a low self-image, especially in children. 

Here are my takeaway points.

1. The best thing a parent can do for their child is to show them unconditional love, regardless of their personal achievements or failures. 
2. A research study of 300 world leaders identified that 75% were abused or came from poverty, so it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you handle what happens to you. 
3. Never compare yourself to other people, especially famous people. The media constantly rams this down our throats, but it’s not a true reflection of reality. Famous people (sport, movies, music etc) only make up less than 1% of all the millionaires in the world. The other 99% are just normal people. They walk past you every day going unnoticed. 

Try reading a book called The Millionaire Next Door.

Hour 187: Excel At Sales Even If You're Not A Sales Person

HOUR 187: The Savvy Dentist with Dr. Jesse Green, Episode 50: Excel At Sales Even If You’re Not A Sales Person with Matthew Kimberley. 

Matthew Kimberley is the author of How To Get A Grip

Here are today’s takeaway points:

1. Think of sales like going to the gym to work out and build muscles. It all comes down to good form and repetition. Getting better at sales is no different. 
2. Sales is just a game, and like any game, once you know the rules it becomes much easier to understand. 
3. What are you passionate about? Use this in your marketing and sales process becasue it will help you connect with people. 

Not mentioned on the video:

• Throughout the sales process, you have to know what you want your client to do next. 
• Always assume the sale is going to happen and they will say yes. 
• Learn to ASK people for stuff and you’ll find it’s not so scary. For example, ask for a discount the next time you’re at a shop, or ask a complete stranger if you can use their phone. Don’t give a reason, just try ASKING and see what happens. If they say NO, that’s fine…nobody died.

Hour 186: Control and Self-Control

HOUR 186: Morning Mindfulness with Dr. Jin. This is a series of short 2 minute episodes designed to get your head in the right frame of mind for the day. Here are my takeaway points.

1. CONTROL: There’s things you can control and things you cannot. You cannot control gravity or the sun rising or the sun setting, but what you can control is your attitude and how you approach each day. 
2. SELF-CONTROL: Some people say they can’t control their daily actions, including what they eat and drink, but this is not true, you do have a choice. Unlike hitting your thumb with a hammer and yelling, that’s an involuntary response and out of your control. 
3. A good warrior can win a war, but a great warrior can maintain peace without there ever being a battle.

Hour 185: Paid to Laid (Tinder)

HOUR 185: Optimal Startup Daily with Justin Malik and Lee Rankinen, Episode 61: Paid To Laid (Tinder). 

Why is Tinder so successful? Because of a term called Simple Stupid. 

Tinder has simplified the dating industry to a simple swipe left or swipe right to show interest. 

There’s no need to give a star rating from 1 to 5, or the need to send a message to make initial contact like other dating sites. All the obstacles have been removed and simplified and they’ve turned it into a game, which is why people keep going back.  

Here’s my takeaway: How can this Simple Stupid method be used in your own life and business? What obstacles can be remove to make interacting with you and your business far easier?

Hour 184 - Stephen Wonderboy Thompson

HOUR 184: UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra, Episode 73: Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. 

If you’re not a UFC fan, it’s unlikely you’ll want to listen to this podcast, however I think it’s important to listen to podcasts outside of your usual comfort zone, because it opens your mind and there’s always something to learn, regardless of who’s saying it. 

Today’s takeaway points:

1. Face your FEARS. No matter how small or big, face them head-on until you overcome them. This will set you up well for future obstacles. 

2. Elite fighters don’t give up when they get defeated. Instead they learn from their errors, adapt, make the necessary changes and long-term become better fighters. Everyone should follow this philosophy in both their personal and business lives. Giving up is not an option.
