In this week’s episode:
Takeaway #1: The Mind Protects You, The Heart Gives You a Fulfilling Life
Get out and get it, go for it.
Know when to be emotional and know how to get those emotions to work for you not against you.
The most successful people know when to use their mind, their emotions and when to use both.
Decide that you are going to be in control of your mind and your emotions; it’s a game changer.
If you focus on situations you cannot control, you are on the road to depression.
Understand what things you can control and what you can’t control.
Let it be and let go of the things you can’t control.
Takeaway #2: The Quality of Your Questions Create the Quality of Your Life
Be constantly questioning yourself.
Always ask why.
Ask yourself if what you are doing is adding value to you and others.
Ponder whether you are becoming better or if someone else is getting better.
Is what you are doing adding value to your goals, values, priorities, etc.?
Takeaway #3: Building A Business Is Never a Straight Line
Never give up.
There will always be ups and downs.
Focus on always learning and getting better.
Do not be afraid of risks.
Follow your heart, not your mind.
Make it happen.
You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don’t use it’s worthless.
If you have a goal and vision stick to it.
If you are not getting to your goal, don’t change your goal, change your strategy.
Takeaway #4: Be Battle Ready
Train your mind.
Control your emotions.
Be in an open state and opportunities will come.
Everything you need is within you.
You have to get yourself right before you can get the rest right.
