Gordon has returned from France and shares great information in this episode about being persistent if you want to achieve your goals and live the life you love.

It can be easy to be self-defeatist if something doesn’t go well the first time but if you are tied emotionally to the outcome you will be more persistent about achieving your goals.

When you decide on your goal and how important it is to you create a road map and use it to measure where you are now and where you want to be. With a good plan and vision of where you want to be, you will be able to be persistent when you hit obstacles along the way.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You need to move on from the ‘giving it a try’ stage as quickly as possible
• Learning can begin to slow down when it becomes more challenging
• Knowing it can be done is  a great motivator – look at examples of others who have done it you can see what they have achieved and what you can aspire to
• The exposure to what’s possible is the key to being persistent.
• Have a plan about what you want to achieve and how you will get there. Create a comprehensive roadmap.
• There are different elements of learning and these need to be included on your roadmap.
• Breakdown your goals into steps that you can achieve as you progress towards your ultimate goal.
• It’s always important to see where you’ve come from so that you can look back to see how far you’ve come and know clearly where you are going.
• Having a roadmap and being able to adjust it based on the results you are getting will help you overcome any obstacles on your journey.
• If you don’t have a vision about where you want to be or track your progress you are more likely to give up
• If you are tied emotionally to the outcome the more persistent you will be in reaching your goal.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you don’t measure where you are you are more likely to give up’

‘If you can remain persistent you will be able to achieve the goals you have set yourself’

‘Be consistent and persistent to achieve your goals and live the life you love’

Gordon is still in France and getting back into a consistent routine with running and explains in this episode what you need to do when your enthusiasm for learning begins to slow.

When you begin any new learning it’s important to understand the elements of theory and practise and if you find your learning slowing it could be that one of the elements is missing.

There are different ways to achieve a balance of theory and practise including working with someone who has complementary skills. Review to see if you have both elements in your learning and adapt and take action to achieve the outcomes you want.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Theory and practise are the 2 elements of any learning process
• When learning slows it maybe because one of the elements is missing
• What areas of learning in your life have slowed down because you are missing one of the 2 elements?
• You may never have had one of the elements in your learning and will need to make changes to achieve the most effective learning path.
• Reviewing your learning considering both the theory and practise will help you to see how to achieve the balance needed.
• The 2 elements working together are needed to achieve the outcomes you want.
• What do you need to learn to achieve the outcomes you want?
• Have you got both elements in place both the theory and the practise?
• You may be stronger in one element and need to develop your skills in the other.
• There are different ways and means of achieving the elements of learning.
• You don’t have to be every element yourself.
• You can work with someone who complements your skillset

 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Double check if you’ve got both elements theory and practise in your learning’

‘Without the 2 elements working together, it will be difficult to achieve the outcomes you want’

‘As learning becomes more complex it will slow down but you should be able to maintain learning in both the theory and practise’
