On this episode of In Every Season, we discuss the impact of social media on our lives and the importance of slowing down and understanding our emotions to avoid negative impacts. We go on to talk about the importance of quality family, building empires with people you love, and evaluating our access to certain people and places. The conversation focuses on creating the quality of life you want and identifying red flags that may indicate a need to slow down or make different decisions. Moreover, we explore how people can overcome discomfort or conflict that may arise when pursuing personal growth and greatness. They also weigh in on the importance of authenticity and honesty in business versus competing on hype and Kool-Aid moments. The episode cautions against measuring success or expertise based solely on high income and emphasizes the importance of accountability partners. In the end, we truly stress that prioritizing in-person interactions and intentional relationships is crucial in maintaining balance and a positive atmosphere within ourselves.
[00:01:00] Tess and I are excited to discuss endurance, growth, and discipline in our personal and business lives, and offer advice on how to overcome emotional obstacles and make difficult decisions.
[00:04:23] It is important to use the right metrics to measure success and not be constantly influenced by social media, as it can negatively impact our internal atmosphere. We should slow down and understand why we feel the way we do, focus on what really matters, like family, and not compare ourselves to others based on what they present online. Building a successful empire is pointless if we have no one to share it with.
[00:11:40] Prioritizing self-care by reevaluating who gets access to personal space and energy, and being mindful of how activities and relationships affect mental and emotional health. Learning to listen to the body when it feels out of alignment and knowing when to let go without over-explaining.
[00:14:21] Setting boundaries and creating the life you want may lead to disagreement, but it's important to not take it personally and create space to make decisions and maintain balance.
[00:21:13] Having accountability partners is important, communication through social media is not a high value relationship, and it's important to be intentional with relationships and invest in them at a level ten. The noise of social media can make it lonely and it's important to be aware and prioritize relationships.
[00:23:46] The breakthrough is peace of mind and restoring joy daily, avoiding distractions and being intentional with prayer time. Leaders should avoid isolation and connect with others through intimate questions and quality friendships.
[00:29:07] A woman opposes the trend of real estate agents boasting about their income and number of properties owned.
[00:30:32] Don't measure success by money, focus on quality clients and transactions. Authenticity and learning are key. Metrics and measurables can be misleading.
[00:32:59] Quality over hype is important in business. Social media can obscure someone's true story. Building relationships with people face-to-face is valuable.
[00:34:52] Evaluate your life and find balance to achieve quality in all areas. Money doesn't have to come at the expense of relationships and peace.
