Learn Why these 3 Strategies are the Keys to Breaking Through and Achieving Your Goals

Focusing on the Present Moment and Seeing Things as They Are

Everyone has an idea of what they'd like their life to look like, but oftentimes, things fall apart when they try to focus on the idea rather than the application. We can't control the future or predict the unknown, but we can work to make the present moment as effective as possible.

Tomorrow’s guest is Rick Terrien, author of Ageless Startup: Start a Business at any Age. 

Rick helps entrepreneurs grow their business regardless of their age, and even if they're starting a new career after they retire. It goes to show you that it's never too late. Insightful episode and definitely some good audio to learn from. Enjoy.

Creativity is an important and integral part of everyday life. At the same time, many people feel like they're not creative at all. We can all be creative, and creativity is one of the most important skills we can develop as humans. It's worth investing your time and energy into cultivating it to make yourself better not just as a person but as a professional as well. The more you do this, the more rewarding your life will be.

“Creativity involves breaking out of expected patterns in order to look at things in a different way." -Edward De Bono

“Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has had an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does something about it who makes a difference.” -Nolan Bushnell

How can a person increase their creativity?

Being creative is not something that you’re born with. It is something that you need to work on and nurture. The following are 10 ways of increasing your creativity:

1) Keep a journal

2) Learn about different cultures

3) Keep an open mind

4) Experiment with different materials or art projects

5) Be inspired by someone else's work (a quote, painting, etc.)

6) Write down your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations

7) Get inspiration from the world around you (nature, sounds, etc.)

8) Get inspirational messages from others on social media or in real life

9) Look at your surroundings for everyday inspiration

10) Create something on your own by taking a writing, painting, or drawing class.

Welcome back to another episode of the valueverse podcast. Growing up you had big dreams and aspirations of things you wanted to do, items you wanted to cross off your list, and the big things you wanted to achieve for your friends and family.

You look at your life now and most of those things happened and some didn’t. At the time, it was for all the right reasons. Looking back, maybe you feel a little regret settle in. Thinking you could have been a bit bolder in asking for a raise or taking a chance on that business venture.

In a world that’s changing, the only strategy guaranteed to fail is not taking risks. Sometimes you risk more by not taking any risks and playing it safe.

Your call to action: Think back and ask yourself “What were some risks I avoided that felt scary at the time but would be in my best interest today if I had acted on them?” Make decisions in the now that will minimize your regret in the future moving forward. Don’t put off necessary things that will advance you in your life, be it financial, health-related, or risk-related.

A helpful tool is to use the regret minimization framework- Ask yourself: “In X amount of years will I regret not doing this?” If the answer is yes, do it. If it is no, don’t bother. This was popularized by Jeff Bezos in building Amazon.

Tomorrow’s guest is Travis Bell, author of My Bucketlist Blueprint and founder of the Certified Bucket List coach program. #tickitB4ukickit As Trav and I talked we went over the framework and process of My Bucket List:

M – Meet A Personal Hero

Y – Your Proud Achievements

B – Buy That Something Special

U – Ultimate Challenges

C – Conquer a Fear

K – Kind Acts for Others

E – Express Yourself

T – Take Lessons

L – Leave A Legacy

I – Idiotic Stuff

S – Satisfy A Curiosity

T – Travel Adventures

Thank you for listening to the ValueVerse podcast. The episode will go live tomorrow morning at 6am Pacific time. Have a great week ahead.

What new things are you learning now? The guests I have on this week approach their crafts like experts. Are you honing a skill or craft that you’ve been working on for a while? John Maxwell said “Credibility is a leader's currency. With it, he or she is solvent; without it, he or she is bankrupt.”

I’m sure you’ve heard of the ten thousand hour rule, repetition, deliberate practice, the importance of vision and goals. If you build a skill you’re always going to be set up to win. Without it, you’ll have nothing to fall back on.

There are many ways of becoming a pro. Below are the top ways to get there with some takeaways.

1. Skill Correlation- most people go on to learn only one skill while neglecting a host of others. The tricky part is, that most skills correlate with the learning of others.

For example: A boxer doesn’t just learn how to hit. A boxer learns how to jump rope to learn hand/foot coordination, speed-bag work to learn hand-eye coordination amongst many others.

Your takeaway: Make sure you’re learning transferable skills that correlate with what you’re doing. The payoff can be a multi-service offering and people want to pay companies that can take care of one or more of their needs. So long as it is in line with the service offering and credible. An example of this would be a contractor who is also an electrician.

My message to you is to master two skills that correlate and become a jack of all trades on others. After all, a “Jack of all trades is a master of none, but better than a master of one.” He or she that knows a little about a lot will be able to add value in many different areas. 

Make your money and continuously pick up new skills and become a person of high credibility, become irreplaceable.

I have two guests this week, who have built their influence and credibility in their fields. The host of the podcast The Struggle is Real with Justin Peters. Justin hosts a great show and I really enjoy the episodes. He puts in a ton of research on each guest to put out some quality content. Justin and I share a lot in common, and we can talk for hours on growth, learning, and meaningful work. I was fortunate enough to be on the podcast with Justin, one of the best podcasts I’ve been on and I left a link in the show notes. Check out the podcast if you haven’t already.

Leadership communication and influence expert, Dr. Laura Sicola. Laura has spent over 20 years coaching, training, and speaking on topics such as leadership and public speaking. She has a podcast Speaking to Influence which I listened to that originally caught my attention. She has some great guests and is a great host. Her book Speaking to Influence: Mastering your leadership voice. This book shows you how small changes can make a huge difference.

Thank you for listening to the ValueVerse podcast. We’ll be undergoing a repurpose and name change soon. Same good stories and even more takeaways and better formatting for your listening pleasure.
