446. The CEO Whisperer – The Secrets to Massive Business Growth

If you think your anxieties and insecurities are giving you that extra edge, extra drive, think again. In Gino Wickman’s newest book, “Shine: How Looking Inward Is the Key to Unlocking True Entrepreneurial Freedom,” he shows how inner peace leads to more positive, productive energy. On our episode today, Gino shares with us the 10 Disciplines to achieve that peace in very practical, and simple terms. If you’re afraid he is going to advise you to go live in a hut on a mountain top, don’t be. His tips are for driven entrepreneurs just like us. The bottom line: While you’re achieving outside successes (wealth, status, etc.), you can also be working on inside successes (living authentically, calming your central nervous system, etc.). As Gino will tell you, if he can do it, you can do it!

445. Shine – 10 Disciplines for Maximizing Your Impact and Inner Peace

Are you lying to yourself? There are lies we tell ourselves all the time that trip us up. They’re little things we whisper in our own ear that we think will help us be productive, build good habits, or grow our business, but they don’t. In this episode, we’re going to go over the most common lies that mislead and derail us. The list includes things like “Oh I’ll just multitask and get these things done quicker” or “I’ll just rely on willpower in the moment.” Those are statements that only lead to struggles and failure later. Don’t use them to plan your day, much less your life. We talk frankly about prioritization, focus, discipline, willpower, and work-life balance. We give you the truth to counteract those little lies. Tune in and learn what to tell yourself next time you’re tempted to mislead yourself. Want to channel your discipline to build habits, rather than trying to solely rely on limited willpower?
