How many times have you said “yes” to something and regretted it? How many times have you put more time / effort / energy into other people rather than yourself? How many times have you felt anxious / overwhelmed trying to balance everything you’re involved with?

The key to avoiding all this madness is identifying what matters most to US, build routines so that we stay consistent & getting real good at saying NO!

Topics :

• Being a Top 2% Uber Driver taught me to build boundary walls around my time
• • Every ride meant more $$$ in my pocket, I was in control of when / how much I worked
• Without boundaries, it’s impossible to make progress in any bucket of our life
• • We’re going to be pulled in a million different directions
• Tips for Building Boundaries
• • (1) Identify What Matters Most to YOU
  • • When we start to break down where we want to spend our time, we can make better decisions about what to do & when
    • We’re cutting up our Cake of Time and making sure every piece is accounted for
  • (2) Schedule Important Routines
  • • Now that we’ve identified what matters most to US, we can begin to plot when / where we should do something
    • They help us stay disciplined on a day to day, week to week or month to month basis 
    • They help us create the motivation to do “x” because we don’t have ANY energy to debate when to do it
  • (3) Hand Out “NO” Cards Unapologetically
  • • Rule of thumb : If something doesn’t completely excite you & it’s NOT an immediate yes… say no
    • The secret to saying no is how you communicate it
    • Saying no creates more space for us to say yes to the things that do matter
  • (4) Reevaluate The Walls When Needed
  • • Our priorities / goals change with time just as we do
    • I’m constantly evaluating the walls that I’ve built around myself to see if
    • • They’re standing strong
      • If they need some patching up
      • Or if they need to be completely torn down
• Challenge for the listeners 
• • Take 10 minute today to identify what matters the most to YOU
  • Once you have that list, ask yourself if you have these tasks committed on your calendar & if not - start today
• Questions from the BMC
• • Eric D : Talk about Essentialism

Not a runner? No problem, you’re in good hands. I think we’ve all been guilty of comparing ourselves to other people at some point in time. The verdict : no bueno. What’s helped me stop doing it is realizing I’m in a race against MYSELF! We’re all running our own separate marathons where it’s US vs US. So long as we keep going and we don’t stop, we WILL get the gold!

Run at your own pace.

• Topics :
• • We all fall for the comparison trap and we compare ourselves to other people
  • We’re running a marathon that only WE can participate in / only WE can win
  • Tips for staying focused on running our own race at our own pace:
  • • The Warm Up 
    • • Make sure before you start off the day with work / all the other madness, get your mind + body RIGHT
      • Workout, read a book, meditate, journal - spend the first 60 mins on YOU!
    • Study The Route
    • • Regardless of your interests / goals / industry, study the people who’ve ran a similar route before you
      • The answers are out there for FREE!! Learn from the experts & pull from their experience when you need it
    • One Foot In Front Of The Other
    • • Similar to 1% growth per day, focus on the small daily tasks you have in front of you TODAY
      • May not seem like a lot but it WILL stack up with time
      • Look up and see where you’re headed once in a while but keep your head down and GO!
    • Rest When Needed
    • • Listen to your mind + body and reset when you need it the most
      • You’ll come back sharp, rested, inspired & excited
  • Challenge for the listeners : Which section do you need to put more effort into?
  • Question from The BMC
  • • Jordan Tarver : How do you go at your own pace while making sure that pace is still pushing the needle?
