Raise Your Bars

We have shared some thoughts on this in previous episodes so now it is time to dive deeper and teach on each of the four parts of BARS.

Behaviors

Actions

Results

Success

Do you have a vision of what you want your life to look like?

How will it feel to be living this life?

These are just  two of the questions that we invite you to answer for yourself during this teaching on how you can Raise Your BARS.

Are you happy living under the average limitations imposed on you by others, or are you ready to rise to the greater expectations of your inner self?

If you are reading this and listening to our podcast, it tells me that you ARE ready, so listen in, take notes, and then join us for part two of this teaching next  week.

This week we continue the discussion on how you can Raise Your BARS in order to Maximize Your Potential. 

The Law of Intentionality from John C Maxwell's book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, teaches us that growth does not happen on it's own. To Maximize Your Potential you need to be intentional about the actions you take every day so that you generate teh best results possible. 

This is what BARS represents:

Behaviors + Actions = Results & Success (or should we say Significance?)

Are you ready to raise your bars and be the person you want to become?

Are you ready to maximize your potential and lead a life of significance?

Are you ready to break away from being "stuck" in a sense of perpetual monotony?

If so, then we invite you to join us for our FREE webinar, Raise Your BARS, on Wednesday August 10th at 7pm EST. You can register here, we guarantee you will learn something that if you apply, will change your life!

In this episode we talk about how you can raise your BARS using a simple equation:

Behaviors + Actions = Results & Success

Most people, leaders, and organizations focus on the results and by doing so put immediate pressure on themselves and/or their teams. We believe that  the key to success is to go back to the beginning and focus on creating the right Behaviors that  will lead to intentional Actions which, in turn will produce better Results and sustained Success. 

Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Join us this week as we talk with Paul O'Leary about Leadership in changing landscapes. Paul shares his experiences of leading Gen Z and Millennials, which requires a different skill set to what most people are used to.

Far too many people say that they suffer from stress, which leads me to ask: what is stress?

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. Stress can be positive, although when most people think of stress, it is in a negative way.     

My belief is that most instances of stress are over things that are out of your control so what difference does stressing about the situation make? The answer, absolutely none what so ever!

This is why I say, control the controllable and let everything else go. It sounds simple, doesn’t it, so how do you actually do it?

Here are a few things that you can do to help:

• Expose yourself to good input: Be aware of what you watch, read, and listen to. 
• Expose yourself to good thinkers: Jim Rohn says that we become the average of the 5 people we associate with the most, so choose these people carefully.
• Choose to think good thoughts: Good thinking is a discipline and it is easy to fall into the blame game instead of putting yourself in a place to shape, stretch, and look forward.
• Act on your good thoughts: You have probably heard people say that knowledge is power but that is only the start. What makes knowledge powerful is the intentional application of what you learn.
• Repeat the process: To form a habit you need to repeat an action consistently until it becomes a natural process.

Another important component of mastering the skill of controlling the controllable is one of my favorite A words: Attitude.

Your attitude is a choice. You can choose to make your day great by adopting a good attitude, or you can make it miserable by adopting a bad attitude, the choice is yours. 

When you choose to control the controllable and let everything else go, you are choosing to adopt a great attitude. For every negative there is at least one positive, and your task is to seek those positives in every situation. You do this by focusing on what you have and what you can do, rather than dragging yourself down by concentrating on what you don’t have and what you don’t want.

Again, this is simple, but it isn’t easy. You only have to turn on the news to see this. They rarely talk about things in a positive way. Even if something is going well the media ends to find a way of making you think that it is bad. 

I always like to leave you with a challenge and this week is no different. Think about what has happened to you over the last few days. Choose one event and write down how you reacted to it. How did it make you feel? What was your emotion, positive or negative? What did you do as a result? Did you complain and feel sorry for yourself? What would you do differently now?

Take this new knowledge and intentionally apply it to your attitude this week. I promise that when you learn to master this, you will find good things come to you.

If you are successful, are you automatically leading a life of significance?

John Maxwell says that "One is too small a number for significance" and he is right. If it is all about you, or you are doing something alone, you may find short term success but you won't live a life of significance as you will soon be forgotten.

One of my team asked me what advice I would give to a graduate as she had been set this task for her niece. She wanted advice that wasn't the standard cliched response so I put some thought into it and decided to make it the topic of this week's podcast.

Here are the advice she was tasked to provide:

• Don't be afraid to...
• Be prepared to...
• Always keep...
• Don't allow yourself to...
• Be open to...
• Hope you always...
• Hope you don't...
• My last piece of advice is...

This is a worthwhile exercise to go through if you know a child who is approaching graduation. It is equally  valuable for college students, and for yourself too. What advice would you give your 18 year old self?

It is never too later to make a new ending to your story and it starts with reflecting on life, what you enjoy, what  you don't enjoy, what inspires you, what motivates you, and what you want your future to look and feel like.
