  • 120: Powerful Habits: Linking, Adding, and Surfing Urges with Blaine Oelkers

    Today we are honored to be joined by the Top Chief Results of America himself, Blaine Oelkers. While it may sound that way, Blaine doesn’t talk about numbers and economics, like we usually do in this show, but instead, we are talking about habits. Why are habits so powerful? And what does the number one chief results officer do help others establish very important and powerful habits. He goes from adding habits by way of linking and surfing our urges, pushing off those rewards and habits before anything else. When eliminating the bad habits, Blaine shares all the basic techniques and tricks up his sleeve. From the common substitution to identifying triggers, buddying up, and how sometimes your why is all you could possibly need. There is power in the daily habits that we do, they shape and form our very lives. This is a reminder that we are ALL already masters of habits. It’s just a matter of mastering which ones we build with and ultimately, live by.
