Growth Instigators Hotline
970.306.6432
I’m ok being your excuse. Yeah that’s right. Use me and Growth Instigators up. Blame it on me if you’d like!
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 week day! This is message #148 and I am Aaron Havens.
Some of the best messages left on this hotline are from a listener that told me he leaves messages while walking down the hall of his work place. When he knows he has to walk a long hallway and doesn’t necessarily have the time to be stopped and engaged in conversation with his employees and co-workers he dials the Growth Instigator Hotline number, holds his phone to his ear and walks down the hall showing the sign he is on the phone. And since he works at a big facility sometime the Hotline message for the day ends while he has not reached his destination… in which case he leave long and really good messages to eat up the remaining walk time. It’s great!
I’ve also had some listeners call from the bathroom. Some from the commute to work. Some on the treadmill. Some in an elevator. One listener calls nearly the exact same minute every day. Is this part of your routine? Where are you calling from today?
Often times when I consult or coach teams I let them know that I’m ok being the bad guy. Saying the direct stuff. Besides… when you think of the word “instigator” do you get good fluffy feelings? Probably not. Growth. And Instigation is often a bit uncomfortable. To move from point A to point B often times requires tremendous discomfort and prodding. I’m fine with that. At the end of the day I sleep better knowing that I helped People, Places and Things move in a positive direction. So, if that means you need to throw me under the bus, use me as an excuse to do what you know needs to be done, or simply need a little prodding… keep calling in my friends. And I would also add… share the love! I’ve found people that I give personal invitations to call the Hotline usually call in and then become consistent listeners.
Where in your life do you need an excuse to do what you know needs to be done. Use me if you need too. Or, create reasons that force you to do what is important and a priority to you. If you love your hat, and you know the fence in front of you needs to be climbed… then throw your hat over the fence so the only way you can retrieve your prized position is to climb over the fence. No excuses today. Or maybe… you create some good excuses!
Thanks for calling in today. Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic. At the sound of the beep I want to hear from you. Yeah… where are you calling from? Is this part of your routine? Where in your life do you need to create “excuses” or “reasons” to say NO or YES?
