Freedom From Urgency Part 2


Listen Later

Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


There are 6 things you need to focus on to gain freedom from urgency; in part one, we covered:

1.   Margin: leave more time than you think you need for the things that matter; frenzy is a choice.

2.   Intentionality: instill a sense of intent; in the absence of intentionality, urgency reigns supreme.

3.   Boundaries: make sure that there are banks to your river; boundaries are the price of impact.


In part two, we will cover:


4.   Systems: creating scalable processes for doing things in a systemic way

5.   Humility: having an accurate view of oneself

6.   Endings: leaders understand the value of ending things proactively


  • The price of impact is sustained focus
  • The enemy of sustained focus is unending urgency
  • ·Freedom is a learned skill
  • Your freedom is a reflection of your attitude

  • 4.   Systems: creating scalable processes for doing things in a systemic way


    Why should you create a system?

    • You need to establish systems if you want to create workflow consistency and reliability
    • A business without systems is a nightmare for their customers

    • When should you create a system?

      • Any time you repeatedly do something the same way because it's the best way to do it


      How to create a system?

      • Do the task, no matter the scale, a big workflow, or a mundane task.
      • Document the process, write it clearly and concisely in a bullet point format
      • Delegate the task, hand it off to a team member


      • 5.   Humility: having an accurate view of oneself


        • As a leader, your desire to appear important often conflicts with the work that is important.


        Three truths about you

        • You can’t do it all
        • You are really easily distracted
        • You like to be recognized and celebrated

        • What humility does:

          • Establishes priorities and awareness of limitations
          • Minimizes distraction proactively
          • Accepts that important work is often unseen

          • Books on humility

            • Humility by Andrew Murray
            • Freedom of Self Forgetfulness by Tim Keller
            • Humilitas by John Dixon

            • 6.   Endings: leaders understand the value of ending things proactively


              • Practice proactive endings.
              • Necessary Endings by Henry Cloud

              • Questions to help practice proactive ending

                • What are the things on your schedule or filling your time that are good but will never be best?
                • What is sick or unhealthy and not showing signs of getting better?
                • What are the things that if you're honest with yourself have been dead for a while, you're just afraid to admit it?

                • Our whole team is rooting for you. We want to see you win!

                  Remember, my strength is not for me; your strength is not for

                  you; our strength is for service.
