Progress Mode with Brendon Burchard

5 ways to manage projects with excellence:

1. Only do projects that matter:

Life is too short to be doing a lot of busy work that is not your life’s work. When you start to say no more often and only take on real projects that you’re truly passionate about, it’s much easier to be effective, enthusiastic and excellent.

2. Know your best role:

There’s a big difference between being an individual contributor to a project and being the person responsible for the project. Be honest with yourself: Are you good at managing projects? Is it your natural ability? If not, be a contributor, not a manager.

3. Have a clear outcome:

Be absolutely clear about what the completed project looks like. What’s the end game? What metrics measure success? What does the impact of the completed project look like? Having clarity about the vision you’re after will ensure you avoid getting distracted or derailed.

4. Put a calendar in place:

A schedule isn’t enough. To be effective you have to plan the deadlines, steps, completion dates, and people managing the project in detail. It’s easy to get distracted without a clear purpose and deadlines, so put milestones in place and keep moving towards them.

5. Focus on distinction, excellence, and service:

To do a project well, ask yourself: “How can I do this project uniquely and differently? How do we wow people with excellence? How do we serve at the highest level?” When you refuse to be a cog, and instead resolve to be a standout creator, a quality contributor, and someone who leaves people feeling deeply served by every interaction, you will bring a new level of excellence to every project.

How do you balance taking care of yourself and others without sacrificing your dreams or suffering burning out? Here are four strategies:

1. Focus on your circle of influence:

With all the texts, emails and requests you get every day, it can feel like you have to reply to everybody. But you don’t. Instead, be incredibly clear about who are the people in your life you most deeply care for and those who need your greatest amount of quality time, service or leadership. These are the priorities in your circle of influence and you should give those people the most focused attention. Learn to say no to anyone not inside your circle, at least at first until you know you won’t overcommit yourself at the cost of your circle and yourself. Don’t let random people or their false emergencies knock you off path from serving those you’ve already committed to.

2. Stop micromanaging and start empowering:

You don't have to do everything for others. People don't need to be micromanaged. When you switch your mindset from needing to take care of everybody and every little thing for them, to empowering others to take care of themselves, you get massive amounts of time back and a renewed sense of control and aliveness in your own life. If you choose to help people, as quickly as possible set them up to win without you. That must be your strategy from the outset.

3. Automate more:

Outsource or automate things that don't matter, bring you joy, need your unique focus and attention. The tiny things you *think* you have to do can usually be automated or handled by others or modern tools, apps and systems. Once you set up the little things to run automatically, you save time and can return to what matters most.

4. Give people quality time: 

What people want from us isn't all our time; they want the time they have with us to matter. They want their interactions with us to be authentic, energized, heartfelt. When you're with people, make sure you give them quality time. Giving someone just twenty minutes of full attention and energy is worth four hours of half-hearted attention. Make the time you have with others count.

50 years of sleep science has proven that less than 7-8 hours of sleep wrecks your mood, health, brain, and relationships. Here are five ways to get more sleep:

1. Start with 45 more minutes:

Take the pressure off yourself and just get 45-50 more minutes of sleep starting tonight. To make this super simple, go to bed 45 minutes earlier than you usually do. It might not seem like much, but this little bit of extra sleep will help start a new habit that could change your life.

2. Rest more during the day:

It’s ironic: find moments of rest and peace throughout the day and you’ll sleep better at night. That’s why meditators sleep better: they've learned to manage their mind and slow life down during the day. So try meditating 20 minutes a day. If meditation isn't your thing, then take a nap or go for a peaceful walk for 20 minutes, focusing on your breath with each step.

3. Stop drugging yourself:

A lot of people can't sleep because they're drinking caffeine, eating sugar and whacking out their system with white carbs all day long. No caffeine after 3pm, and work hard to dramatically limit how much sugar and white carbs you consume.

4. Wind down:

Before sleep,, dim the lights in your house and turn off all the screens and technology. No browsing or social media or email in that last hour. Do some light reading or plan your day by journaling. No tech before bed.

5. Practice gratitude:

When you get into bed, calm your mind and emotions by focusing on taking 10 deep breaths and then asking yourself, "What am I grateful for in my life?" A happy heart rests well. 

You deserve to get more sleep but you must make it a practice. With more sleep, you have greater creativity, decreased stress, and higher levels of engagement and enthusiasm throughout the day. You start to experience what we call The Charged Life!

5 ideas that helped me reach and impact millions:

1. Read every day:

Within the first hour of waking up, I read something inspiring or instructive about life. To be a thought leader, you simply must train yourself to read because it helps you think bigger and constantly broaden your mindset and perspective. By reading more you become more informed and creative. And more than anything else it's that perspective and creative thinking that causes people to follow you.

2. Create something unique every day:

If you want a following, you must create something every day - not just to feed the monster but more importantly to find and hone your art, your voice, your growth and soul. You must become prolific, and to accomplish that you must become more disciplined. 

3.  Create things to be multipurpose:

If you’ve created content, you should leverage it by putting it everywhere, in different formats. And then you should put all that on a consistent rotation of reposting. For example, when I record a video, I will use that video to create quotes, transcripts, podcasts, blog posts, and more. This grows my following in lots of different mediums.

4. Stay consistent:

Sometimes people gain sudden success, but usually people who have big followings have been working at it every day for a long time. True artists and creators have their following come from their work, endurance and consistency. You can’t just start this and hope it takes off. You have to push and create and love it for years. 

5. Do this with heart:

In whatever you do, be the most caring and positive thought leader in your space. If your art isn't real and your heart isn't in your work, you won't be motivated or excited and you will burn out your soul trying to keep up. If people can tell that you genuinely care, and you keep demonstrating that with creative content that continues to serve them and showcase your heart, then you will be followed.

It takes a lot of work to achieve your dreams, but what do you do when the struggle gets too hard? Here are four strategies to keep you on path:

1. Visualize:

Inexperienced personal development teachers always tell you to visualize, but often in a tragically limited way. They tell you to visualize nothing but victory. But high-achievers know that it’s even more important to visualize themselves at the point where they want to quit, and then see themselves working through the struggle. What will you say to yourself in that moment when it gets too tough or your dream seems too hard? It's not just about seeing yourself validated and victorious; it's about visualizing yourself push through struggle to achieve your dream.

2. Research:

High performers obsessively research their dreams from a multitude of sources. To become world-class, you have to know who has already cracked the struggle you face ahead. Don't reinvent the wheel. Research the leaders in fields related to yours, synthesize their findings and see how you can apply their hard-won wisdom to your work. Stand on their shoulders and then make a leap into new territory that is distinctly yours. 

3. Actualize:

Actualizing your dream begins with initiating movement. You have to show up every single day and work toward your dream. The highest performers didn't get to where they are because they were lucky; they worked every day for years toward their dream. They honored the struggle and didn’t complain about the effort involved in becoming world-class. Remember, when you knock on the door of Opportunity, it is Work who answers! 

4. Community:

You need positive, engaged and smart people around you who can give you feedback and cheerleading as you grow. If you don’t have that community now in your life, go start building it. The willingness to get constructive feedback from people who are on your same path - not random doubters - will keep your dream alive. 

The only one who can ever give up on your dream is you. Refuse to give up on your dream and you will experience what we call The Charged Life!

It’s a great myth that we should never compare ourselves to others. How would we gain perspective, values, standards, ideas, ambition, or growth if we removed ourselves from our social context? The truth is there are healthy ways to compare yourself to others:

1. Compare for creativity, not looks: 

It’s demoralizing to compare yourself to others at surface levels like appearance or outward success. Instead of asking how you can be like others, ask how you are different; compare to discover creative distinction not to conform. You can't make any major contribution in life without understanding how you are distinct. You’ll access a new creative edge when you start looking outward and asking, “How would I go about that differently? What’s my perspective and how is it different? How could I add even more value in a unique way?”

2. Compare for vision, not followers:

Never evaluate yourself on the size of your friendship base or fans. If you do, you’ll always feel down noticing others have more than you. Instead, look to how others are serving, about how they’re shaping and moving towards a vision. When you meet people who want to make a big difference in the world, it makes a big difference in you. 

3. Compare for growth, not achievement:

When you see talented people achieving the remarkable, it should inspire you to level up. If you can look at someone who is doing something better than you and it inspires you to grow, you have humility and you have a chance. If their success threatens you or causes you bitterness, you’ll never ascend.

Do you find yourself giving away your time, attention and energy to other people with no sense of peace or progress? Is your agenda your agenda, or somebody else's? Here are three new ways to think about how you prioritize your day:

1. Stop prioritizing easy:

While a lot of people think knocking off the easy tasks on their to-do list will create momentum, it actually stops them from doing what counts. If you find your day filled with busy work instead of your life's work, remember that just because there is something easy to do does not mean it should be done. The activities in your day should add to your vitality, enjoyment and the contributions you want to make in the world. Ask yourself, "What three things must happen today that will move me forward toward my dreams?" Stop prioritizing easy; start prioritizing progress. By taking on something hard every day, you gain more confidence, momentum and meaning. 

2. Stop prioritizing false emergencies:

Don't re-prioritize your life's work to handle someone else's false emergency. Prioritize what will move you forward and initially say no to everything else. You owe nothing to anybody but your own health, family and major contributions of what you want to give to the world; every other request is a sudden distraction. By focusing on what's important to you and making sure you accomplish that first, you leap forward in life, live your truth and serve your highest good.

3. Start prioritizing freedom:

You have the potential to experience more emotional, physical, social, financial and time freedom every day. Whether it's a 20 minute meditation that makes you feel alive and connected, a health practice for cultivating more energy, or time breaks in your day where dream up and develop your next major contribution, you have the ability to make your days magical.

As you prioritize with these three decisions, you become the architect of your day and put yourself back in control of your agenda. Do this and you will start to experience more of what we call The Charged Life!

In a world where few people take the time to show care and appreciation, greatness is achieved by acts of generosity. When you are generous with your time, attention, love, and spirit, you stand out, serve your purpose, and define yourself as extraordinary.

Think about this: Who in your life deserves appreciation, recognition or love right now? Go be generous with them. Pick up the phone and call them. Tell them how extraordinary they are and ask if they need anything. Or write them a generous note full of appreciation and praise. Be one of the few inspired souls who live to cheer others on. You can help the world believe in themselves and other people once more.

Let this mantra drive your being and your service: Give and you shall receive. Give as much of your heart and spirit to this world as you can while you are here and you will know you’ve contributed your best, become a remarkable human, made a difference.

Greatness belongs to those who are generous. Give more of who you are and shine the lamp of love and positivity toward others and you will start to experience what we call The Charged Life!

Six strategies for making a better first impression:

1. Stop acting and be your best self. During your next networking or social situation, just show up with the intention of being fully authentic and alive. Have faith that showing the world who you are will always result in good things, because indeed it does.

2. Don’t network if you don’t want to do. If you like being introverted and you don’t want to join the party and go out and network, then don’t feel you have to. You can compensate by arranging smaller gatherings or lunches. However, if you feel your growth or greatness require you to get a little uncomfortable and go out and meet lots of people, then do it. Learning to become comfortable in uncomfortable situations is part of life mastery.

3. Have fun. Nothing makes a better first impression than you choosing to have real, authentic fun. Nothing is more attractive than a person who is authentic and alive with joy.

4. Be present. To have a greater impact in people’s lives, you have to “level-up” your energy and be more present with them. Challenge yourself to truly listen and engage with others.

5. Be interested in others. Ultimately, a first “impression” is about the other person, not you. Demonstrate interest in others by asking them questions you genuinely care about. By doing this you learn about the other person and you can start to praise them to others and connect them with others. Become their champion and connector and you win their hearts.

6. Leave things better than how you find them. How you exit is more important than first impressions because people remember how you leave them feeling more than how you met. Ask yourself, “How can I leave this conversation or context more positive than how I found it?” If you leave people feeling validated, cared for and praised, then you will leave a lasting impression (and legacy).

Try these strategies in your social world and you will start to experience what we call The Charged Life!

This is Brendon freestyle, without notes or prompter.

Anxiety is a sign to pay attention and bring your A-game. You can turn it into drama, a false cataclysmic feeling, or you can use it as a performance enhancement tool. Here’s the three primary sources of anxiety and what to do about it:

1. Fear of loss. Too often we worry that we could lose respect or love if we fail at something. But most often these are unfounded concerns or faulty assumptions driven by a fearful, tired or undirected mind. The next time you feel anxiety, take a few deep breathes and ask, “Can I use this energy to prepare to gain something versus sit here and fear losing something? What action could I take to ready myself and minimize the chances things won't go well?” Then brainstorm actions you can take to move forward. Sometimes the easiest way to wipe out anxiety is to get a little momentum.

2. Fear of hardship. A lot of anxiety comes from feeling like we aren’t strong or capable enough to handle a difficult situation. But we have to question this assumption as well. Often, we’ve  been through a lot worse and survived. And now we can use the anxiety to take a step back and better prepare for this upcoming challenge. We can turn anxiety into a strength, into a preparation weapon. Look, no matter what is coming up, you can handle it if you prepare, ask for help, and open yourself to learning and being courageous in tough situations. The tools to manage the difficulties of life are within. 

3. Fear of disappointment. Often anxiety comes from the fear that we'll feel sad or experience negative feelings if things don't turn out well. But perhaps it's time to focus on the journey rather than the destination. Just focus on bringing your best to the situation at hand, and remember that everything will turn out well as long as you’re open to learning and asking for help along the way. All will be well as long as you stay in motion toward your dreams.
