1 Simple Thing Podcast | Build a Better Business by Building a Better You!

Rory Vaden says everything you know about time management is wrong. Time management isn't logical, it's emotional. It's not about fitting more in and doing more, or doing less, it's about accomplishing results that matter to you. It's about a life of significance, spending my life doing things today that will really matter tomorrow.

Rory Vaden talks about the problem with most time management strategies…that prioritizing doesn't create more time. You can't solve today's time management problems with yesterday's time management thinking. The old way of thinking only fosters an inappropriate amount of weight on urgency - what matters now - which then puts us in a state of stress from the start. Rory introduces a new, innovative concept of learning how to “multiply your time” today, and create even more time for you tomorrow.

Today is a recap of Episodes 116-119 where our guest Edie Varley describes and explains the 4 elements of Emotional Intelligence.

Edie Varley talks about what it means to make a greater individual commitment count. Today, everything in this world can be copied and imitated, except you. You stop being a commodity when you decide to live up to the fullness of your promise, be at your best, and make a greater individual commitment count. “I am going to commit to being at my best self today for every person, at every interaction, every time.”

Edie Varley talks about living in the present, not living in the past where resentment and bitterness rule our life, or living in the future where anxiety and stress dominate our existence. When we live in the present, we experience more freedom, contentment, joy, and love, and are better able to deal with the risks of everyday living.

In today’s episode Edie Varley talks about the importance of honoring your word by saying what you mean and meaning what you do. Honoring your word is not only the promises you give to others, but also includes what we say to ourselves. Every time we break our word to ourselves and to others we are injuring our honor, our spirit, and our self-esteem, which puts us last on every list. Your word is sacred, so honor it.

Edie Varley talks about how our words create worlds. We seldom realize how our choice of words has a profound effect on ourselves and the people we interact with. Often times we unwittingly approach a situation with negativity and fear due to the wrong frame of mind and motivation. Edie wants us to change the words we think and speak to ones that are motivated by love. That has a positive, energizing, and empowering effect, not only in our personal lives, but also empowers and energizes every conversation we have with others.

In this recap of Episodes 111-114 Chris Hogan talks about the importance of successfully managing your finances through proper budgeting, management of debt and planning for our retirement.

Chris Hogan teaches us the proper motivation and mindset to effectively rid ourselves of debt permanently.

Statistics show that money fights are the #1 cause for divorce in North America, and a lot of couples unfortunately only talk about money when there's not enough. Chris gives some practical advice how to avoid unwanted tension between you and your spouse and operate under the banner of love regarding money.
