Did you ever wake up one morning, look yourself in the mirror and say, I can’t believe I am still working for my business instead of my business working for me?
My father was an entrepreneur at a young age and started his own business in the late 50’s in Wellington, New Zealand. He is an auto electrician by trade and started up a Shell Service Station, servicing cars, selling gas, and car parts. He also owned a Marine Outlet, selling boats and engines.
After being away for 3 months in the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, and Spain it is time to return home to The Bahamas. This Saturday my family and I will make the trip home via Canada as it is one of a few countries that provides a corridor to The Bahamas from Europe.
It is clear to me that in travelling and living freely while deep in the midst of a global pandemic, life is what you make of it. If you buy into F.E.A.R (False Evidence Appearing Real) then you let your 2 million-year-old brain take over.
The Last Dance, is a Netflix documentary on the Chicago Bulls NBA team when they were at their prime. I watched it earlier this year during lockdown in The Bahamas and learnt so much.
Following are some of the takeaways that I got that can immediately translate into your life to support you in being all you can be.
Serving others by influencing them to achieve their goals through investing in your product is ethical sales.
Selling is perceived by so many people as a dirty word because sales people who tend to push what they want to happen onto their clients show they just don’t care. This gives sales a bad name.
Fear is the biggest virus out there in the world right now. Fear is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real or F*#K Everything And Run, depending on how you see the world. Unfortunately, a large amount of the population have their belief systems created by listening to the news on TV.
Every result you have ever gotten in your life stems from an internal pattern or your internal programming. Listen to me and take note! Everything is a pattern.
You are hardwired from your experiences and the decisions that you made as you were developing into an adult. Everything that you are good at and everything that you are not, are all patterns running in your subconscious mind.
A few weeks back I planned a boat excursion for my wife and I. While launching the boat I walked into the ocean with my phone in my pocket. Consequently, it died and is still dead after being bathed in rice for a number of days.
Instead of rushing out and buying a new one, I decided to undergo an experiment. To test what it would be like to live without a smartphone. Following are the top 3 results re pros and cons of not owning a smartphone:
People who are highly responsible and have the ability to respond are able to stay calm under pressure. They are the type of people who are not moving into the fight/flight response when the pressure comes on. They’re able to think clearly, respond creatively, communicate effectively, and behave appropriately in accordance with how they need to behave to achieve the result that they want.
Our human needs are hard-wired into our neurology. We all have them and we can’t escape them. To have them fulfilled creates fulfilment, happiness, engagement, and high performance. To not have them fulfilled creates stress, disengagement, and poor performance.
Four times a year I schedule an immersive event where I can dive deep into my development as a human being, leader, and peak performance coach/consultant. I find if I don’t schedule the things that matter most in my schedule they just don’t get done. Is that true for you?
