My goal is to walk for one hour per day for 365 days, or in a one year period. If I miss a day, it has to be made up. At the same time I will listen to at least one podcast and then shoot a 60 - 90 second video sharing one take away point from the podcast.
This is why it's called a mental and physical challenge. Yes I will be learning from the podcasts, but I'm also learning organisational skills, planning and how to record and edit my videos.
It's a WIN:WIN for everyone.
HOUR 194: OPERATION SELF RESET with Jake Nawrocki, Episode date 21/2/17 - Your Questions Answered (Reset Your Thinking)
Here’s my takeaway:
Notre Dame Football Team have a sign above their dressing room door that says, ‘Play Like A Champion Today’, and every player hits it as they leave the room and prior to taking the field.
To apply this to your own life you could set up a similar sign, or instead use the doorway as a trigger to remind yourself to reset your thinking. Stand up tall, correct your posture, think about your breathing and reset your mind.
HOUR 193: The DENT podcast with Glen Carlson, Ep: 44 - Perfect Your Pitch with Daniel Priestley.
With my video today, just as you think I’m ending, I’ve added a bonus takeaway, so please watch to the end if you have the time…it’ll be worth it.
There’s a big difference between Sales and Pitching:
1. Sales is when you’re selling something that physically exists, whereas Pitching is attempting to bring an idea, that doesn’t really exist yet, into reality.
2. When you’re at a networking event and you’re pitching an idea to someone, a negative response is far better than a polite response, becasue it shows they’ve listened and they are engaging with you.
3. Your pitch will improve ‘in the market’, not ‘in your head’. So you need to be pitching your idea and using feedback to tweak and improve your pitch.
4. You know when you’ve done a great pitch, the person walking away will tell the next person they just had a great conversation with you, they won't say you tried to sell to them or pitch to them.
HOUR 192: The Gary Vee Audio Experience: Dated 10/3/17 - Investing For The Long Game.
Today’s Takeaway:
* When your business starts making profits you should be reinvesting the profits back into your business, or into another business and keep the money working for you over the long-term, instead of spending the money on short-term rewards.
* People think they should be rewarding themselves for good work, but as soon as you take the money out of your business, the long-term benefits are over.
* Gary travels economy even though he could fly in a private jet, but with the money he saves, his long-term goal of buying the New York Jets gets one step closer.
HOUR 191: The Charged Life with Brendon Burchard, Episode date 9/3/17, Stop Quitting Your Goals: Here’s How.
One of the biggest problems is we set goals, and then we let life get in the way and we forget about them.
Here are three ways to stop quitting:
1. Bring back your visualisation practice. This needs to be done in the morning and daily. Don’t just visualise achieving the goal, visualise striving for the goal and also the struggles you’re going to go through and how you will overcome them. I CALL IT TALKING TO MY FUTURE SELF.
2. Weekly score yourself out of ten. How was your performance? This is not a time to beat yourself up. but more a time to acknowledge where you may have messed up, or done well. You can improve next week.
3. Get social support. You need to tell your partner, family, friends and everyone else what your goals are. If you keep your goals to yourself, it’s more of a hope than a goal. The more people you tell, the more accountable you are.
MY GOALS ARE ON THE HEADER OF MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR ALL TO SEE.
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.
The Denise Griffitts podcast, dated 24/2/17, Communicating Over Social Media with Felicia Slattery.
Today’s takeaway points:
Stop posting stuff that wastes everyones time.
Stop sharing your political opinion…unless you’re a politician. It immediately alienates 50% of the people you know.
When you post something try and be positive or neutral. If you must be negative, you need to have a good reason.
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?
