Episode 069: Personal Development Implementation

www.JeffHeggie.com

As you engage in your personal development and self-education you can experience tremendous growth as an individual. When you are intentional about the things you read and study, it can bring so much into your life.

However, you can study and learn as much as you would like, but if you don’t implement any of it, your life won’t change.

In today’s episode of Daily Success Strategies I discuss the importance of being intentional about the things you are learning and implementing them into your life.

You need to publish. You need to establish your platform. Once you can start to do this on a consistent basis, you’ll be able to find your voice and share your true message with your ideal clients.

1. Choose where you want to publish: Blog, Podcast, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc….

2. Commit to publish consistently for a year – daily

Jeff Heggie Daily Success Strategies  

As we prepare ourselves for another successful week, as usual, start by going through all of your mindset questions. But there are two things I'd really like you to focus on today.   

1. As you are going through your weekly questions, what is the major project that you need to focus on this week. Make sure you are structuring each day so that you are going to achieve everything you need to by Friday.  

2. What item has been on your task list that you keep putting off? Maybe you don't feel it's as urgent as others. Maybe you just don't want to start it. Maybe you're scared to start it. Make it a priority to knock that one off your list as soon as possible.

Episode 066: Acres of Diamonds

www.JeffHeggie.com

Russell Conwell Parable - Acres of Diamonds

There was once a wealthy man named Ali Hafed. One day a priest visited Ali and told him about diamonds. Ali heard all about the diamonds, how much they were worth, and went to his bed that night a poor man. He had not lost anything, but he was poor because he was discontent.

Ali sold his farm, left his family, and traveled to Palestine and then to Europe searching for diamonds, which he didn’t find. His health and wealth failed him. Dejected, he cast himself into the sea.

One day, the man who had purchased Ali’s farm found a curious sparkling stone in a stream that cut through his land. It was a diamond. Digging produced more diamonds – acres of diamonds, in fact.

The point of the story is that we often dream of fortunes to be made elsewhere. We ought instead to be open to the opportunities that are around us.

So how can you find your acres of diamonds in your own back yard?

- Be open to the possibilities that are around you. Don’t overlook the value of things because you believe you already “know it”

- Look at the familiar in a new way. Are you doing things regularly that you could do better by changing how you do it?

- Learn what people want and then give it to them

Are you one of those who looks for diamonds in faraway places? Is the grass really greener there? Is there an opportunity that has been in front of you all the time but you haven’t recognized it?

065: Act Well Thy Part

www.JeffHeggie.com

What roles do you have in your life?

Father, husband, mother, wife, son, daughter, boss, employee, coach…

The list goes on and one for every one of us.

How well are you doing in those roles?

Today I talked about a story from Hyrum W. Smith’s book, “What Matters Most – The Power of Living Your Values.”

Hyrum shared the following story:

Let me return to my theatrical metaphor to recount the experience of David O. McKay, a great spiritual leader and teacher who was a source of inspiration to me in my formative years. In the early years of the twentieth century David McKay found himself in Stirling, Scotland, one of the ancient seats of the Scottish kings. He was far from home, working among people who did not care about the things he was trying to teach them. He was cold, hungry, and discouraged, ready to give up. Walking down an old street of the town, he looked up to see an inscription carved in stone above a doorway: “What e’er thou art, act well thy part.”

More than six decades later, after he had become a major spiritual and moral leader and near the end of a long life of service, I heard this man speak of his experience in Scotland. He talked about the abrupt change in perspective that the inscription over the doorway had given him at a critical time in his life. He had never thought that he was filling a role in his life. Something deep inside him responded to the admonition of the inscription, and reading it proved to be a turning point. It inspired him to do his utmost to accomplish his work in Scotland, and it continued to inspire him through a lifetime of service to others.

Make a list of all the roles that you have and ask yourself how well you are performing in that role. Could you do better? Will you?

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Topic This Week: Mindset

I have been talking about mindset all week:

Monday 062: Let’s Do the Impossible

- Roger Bannister 4 minute mile in 1954

- Eliud Kipchoge 1:59:40.2 marathon

Napoleon Hill – Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Tuesday 063: What Every Person Who Thinks They’re Too Old Needs to Know About Their Dreams

- Ray Kroc opened his first McDonalds at age 52

- Chaleo Yoovidhya was 61 when he started Red Bull

- Colonel Sanders was 61 when he started KFC

Read my article today at www.JeffHeggie.comwhere I’ll show you how these four things will help you achieve the proper mindset and reach your goals.

Believe

- First break through the psychological barriers that hare holding you back

- Bannister, Kipchoge, Kroc believed they could accomplish their dreams

Barriers

- Once you really identify what you want, identify the real and imagined barriers that are holding you back so you can figure out how to break through them

- STOP BELIEVING YOUR OWN LIES

Your Path

- Once you have the belief, give yourself a path to follow to get you there

- In May of 2017, Kipchoge came up just shy of the two-hour mark during Nike’s Breaking2 project, finishing with a time of 2:00:25. After missing the mark by less than half a minute, he created the path he needed to follow to accomplish the goal a little more than two years later. This included his training and preparation all the way through to the pace setters and water delivery during the run.

Persist Until You Succeed

Brian Tracy said, “Your ability to persist longer than anyone else is the quality that will guarantee great success in life. Persistence is self-discipline in action and the true measure of your belief in yourself. Resolve in advance that you will never, never give up!”

Hey welcome Jeff Heggie Daily Success Strategies. Thanks for being with me today. Today. I want to talk about something that I hear quite often, and it's, especially when I talk to people that have been in their career or different things for awhile, and they talk about the things they wish they would have done in their lives. They wish they would have started a business. They wished they would have taken a chance. They wished they would have done all these things, but now they've been in a certain role or they're at a certain age that they don't think they can do it anymore. And the example I always give them is Colonel Sanders with Kentucky Fried Chicken. He started that when he was 61 years old and look what it is now. And so what's holding you back from starting something, age is just a number and it doesn't mean because you're a certain age you're locked in and you can't do the things that you really want to and really desire to do.

You can still do those. I got something from one of my coaches today, someone that coaches me on a regular basis and I was reading it. And that's why I wanted to talk about it today because there's a number of people on his list that actually expanded my how I looked at this. So I'm going to read you what he sent me. Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's at age 52. Rodney Dangerfield was 46 when he got his break. Martha Stewart was over 50 before she started her brand. Stan Lee of Marvel comics was 42 when he started. Henry Ford was 41 When he founded Ford motor company, Melissa McCarthy was 41 when her wheels started turning Robert Noyce was also 41 when he started Intel. Morgan Freeman was 52 when he got his first big break, a Joy Behar was 55. When she started The View. Chaleo Yoovidhya was 61

When he started Red Bull. Judy Dench wasn't famous until 61. Colonel Sanders was 61 when he started Kentucky fried chicken. So I want you to think about that and think about how successful those people have become and the things they've achieved and when they started. So if you're looking at yourself and thinking, I wish I would've done that, I wish I could've been this. I wish I could've been that, but I can't now because I'm 40, I'm 50, I'm 60 I'm 70. I don't care how old you are. There's still time. 2020 is the year to do it. If there's ever been a time that you want to reset, that you want to take advantage of opportunities. Now's the time to do it. This is the year that has thrown everything into a loop. And it's given you the opportunity that if you want to do something now is the perfect time to do it.

So I really encourage you to do that. Go out there, figure out what it is you want to do and do it. And again, go to www.JeffHeggie.com, get my free Momentum series. It's going to help you figure out what it is you really want, how you're going to get there and why it is and get the motivation behind it. It's a free series. Go get it. Motivation series, go to www.JeffHeggie.com. Scroll down. You'll be able to see that. And hopefully this is something that'll help you, and help you make some decisions to move forward and take some action. And if it is, please share this with someone else that could use it as well. Thanks for being with me today and we will see you again tomorrow. Thanks.

Episode 062: Let’s Do the Impossible

In October, 2019 I wrote an article called Whatever the Mind Can Conceive and Believe, It Can Achieve. I wrote about Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute-mile in 1954. I wrote about Eliud Kipchoge breaking the 2-hour barrier in the marathon on October 12, 2019. In the article I went on to talk about the mental barriers we have in achieving many of our dreams, but once those barriers are broken down and we realize it is possible, we can do what we previously thought to be impossible.

Growing up I rode motorbikes a lot. I lived on a farm and we had great places all around to dirt bike. We had one area that was my favorite jump, where I’d feel like Evil Knievel. But I don’t think at any moment when I was flying over those jumps did the thought of doing a back flip on my motorbike ever cross my mind.

So the first time I saw on TV someone on a motorbike successfully complete a backflip, I was blown away. In 2002 Caleb Wyatt was the first person to successfully land a backflip on dirt. In 2006 Travis Pastrona successfully completed a double backflip! Then in 2015, Josh Sheehan pushed it further and completed a triple flip! When I was a young boy riding through my dad’s pasture on my dirt bike, if someone told me they were going to complete a backflip on their dirt bike, I’m pretty confident I would tell them it was impossible.

In 2014 Jasyn Roney became the youngest person, at the age of 10, to successfully complete a backflip on a motorbike. The interesting thing about this is that there was never a time in this young man’s life that doing a backflip on a motorbike wasn’t a reality. Caleb Wyatt first did it before Jasyn was born. Something that was considered impossible just a couple years before Jasyn was born was just a matter of fact when he started riding and it wasn’t a question to him of “if,” it was “when.”

What is holding you back? What do you wish you could do if it wasn’t “impossible?”
