Inspired Stewardship

In this episode, we talk about how I was challenged about being mad all the time, even though I wasn't and how this may apply to your life. We talk about the big communication styles and how they break out and what that means in your communication. We talk about how way more people are influenced by emotions and people than by data and tasks. I also share a story about how me not smiling made me a less effective leader and how you can become a better communicator.

In this episode, I talk with you about how hard it can be to manage your time unless you have the emotional maturity to recognize the way you can self-sabotage and allow others to sabotage your ability to manage your time well. I also talk with you about how resolutions and time management often have a "your eyes are bigger than your stomach" issue. And how emotions are often at the root of our inability to manage our time. We also talk about the difference between successful and REALLY successful people.

In this, the second part of a four-part interview with Jeff Brown, I speak with Jeff about Investing in others. We talk about how you can only invest in others after you've invested in yourself.

In this episode, we cover how money problems really are more often about outgo than about income. I talk with you about how even if your income is small you have to focus on action to improve over time. As well, I talk about how often it's not income that's our downfall but expenses. Death by 1000 cuts.

In this episode, I talk with you about how you really don't have a time management issue. Instead, you've allowed things to enter your life that really aren't a priority to you. Things that distract you and pull you away from where you SHOULD focus your time. I also talk with you about how the reality of today's complex world helps create that frustrating feelings of have many priorities when in reality we can only have one...at least one at a time...

In this episode, we cover the feedback loop that is the framework for the podcast: Invest in Yourself, Invest in Others, Develop Your Influence, and Impact the World. And we relate this to the only partially true idea that you must believe you can do something before you can do it. We talk about some of the different kinds of belief and I give you homework to help you change some of your limiting beliefs.

Jeff Brown is a personal mentor and someone I'm honored to call a friend. He's also someone who manages to make me spend WAY too much on books every year...but they are always books worth reading. Join me in this episode as I ask Jeff about investing in yourself and how he'd recommend doing that.

In this episode, we take the work you've done in episode 5, episode 10, and episode 15 and begin to create our first spending plan. I also tell one of the most difficult parables from the Bible, the parable of the "shrewd manager" or "dishonest steward" and try to relate that to budgets.
