What makes you go hmmmm….

Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons every day of the week!  This is message #108 and I am Aaron Havens.

What makes you go hmmm?!
What peaks your interest?
Maybe that is what you should run down!

At the core we are so unique.  I have an acquaintance that is BIG time into Starwars, and Comics, and Pokemon and etc.

Yeah, just the fact that I can say etc.  say I’m just not interested. 

I’m not knocking these types of things… they just have never made me go hmmmm.  I will probably never run these down.

However, I’m a nerd in my own way.  Anyone heard of Canva?  It’s an incredible tool that makes creating sharp looking documents or presentation… so easy to use.  Would you like a pro tip?  If you visit my LinkedIn, you’ll see daily I post the Growth Instigator topic.  It’s a sharp looking document.  Daily I am on Canva.  I like design.  A lot.  I bet my nerd Starwars friend has never logged into Canva.  The point?… 

You are so unique and life is so short, please spend more time on the things that make you go hmmm.  If something is interesting to you… research it.  Spend your free minutes of the day YouTubing or Instagramming that thing.  Start a support group.  Who knows how your life might pivot if that thing that makes you go hmmm ends up being the thing that gives you life.  I have a good/bad habit of being All In on things.  There is one condition though.  For me to be All In I have to be interested.  On the table today, is a job offer where I could make a significant amount of money.  Guess what though.  Very little about the industry is making me go hmmm.  I just can’t see me faking it till I make it.  It would probably feel like clocking in and clocking out to me.  The money would be nice… what I would be doing would not be.  So, it’s probably a no for me on this one.  

One of the things that does give me life, makes me go hmmm, is instigating growth in people, places and things.  This is why over the last few years I’ve spent more and more time coaching and consulting people and organizations.  I’m super intrigued and come alive doing these things.  

So my friends.  What makes you go hmmm.
What peaks your interest?
Pay attention, that might be your next thing!

Thanks for calling in today.  Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic!  After the beep, would you be willing to make a list of 10 things that make you go hmmm.  They could be big or small.  And would you be willing to tell me one of those things that you’ll begin to chase down?  After the beep… lets hear it.
