Backstory

Like I touched on last week, I wanted to expand upon this principle of no longer waiting for "some day" or for some moment in the future to happen.

Short recap:  I was pushing my family and in my business and pushing for some imaginary finish line and saying, once I get there... then I will (relax, have fun, travel, seminars, etc.)

So here it is now, I want to stress that this needs to happen right now.  Your family, your clients, your spouse are all waiting for you to show up and start living RIGHT NOW.   It's not too late, your life is happening right now.

So what does that even look like?   I means making a list of your PASSIONS and your GOALS.   Now, mix those into your every day life.  If you have a passion, then it is up to you to share it each and every day.  Don't wait for some day.  It might never happen.

Listen in to see what I mean...

I had a revelation during an exercise where I reflect and review on a emotionally triggering event from the day before.  I was digesting some frustrations at my son who is just getting so damn mad at me when I ask him to do normal easy things - like get dressed, or put shoes on, or get a coat on, or to put his clothing away.   And after looking at this situation from multiple angles, I came to the realization that overall in many areas and situations of my life.  I'm pressing so hard to get to a point.  This point, what it is, I have no freaking clue.

It's like I'm pushing to some imaginary finish line that I already know doesn't exist.  And I've been doing this in business, in coaching, in parenting, and personally in myself.  And I'm done with that.

I am instead going to look for the beauty and look to my business and family, in the day to day stuff, my heaven on earth.   As they are my reward already.

I am going to quit pressing for this unknown thing I've been chasing.  Instead I'm chasing the moment.  

And as I look at my passions and gifts; it's time to use them NOW.  Not someday, or after the kids go to bed, but in each and every day.

This is an emotional episode - make sure to listen in.

No homework today, just reflect on what I'm saying.

That is all,

Coach Nick

There are certain things in life that just work across the board.  When it comes to business, some of these principles would actually really help out your personal life.

• Strategy towards a goal.
• Teamwork
• Clarity on those goals
• Bonuses
• Communication

Communication is key all around and that's why I promote a daily morning huddle both in business and at home, but also a weekly marriage meeting.  For my kids I employ a quick meeting check-in during their one on one date with me.

I've taught on this weekly meeting before on this podcast, but it still is applicable more than ever.  We're addicted to busy as a society and to take a moment to get things straight is key.

Backstory

This is a goal that a client stated today.  I freaking loved it.  But I also told her out of her list of goals, this would be the hardest!

At first, she told me she wanted to lose 50 pounts.  I couldn't accept that.  In fact, I told her that no one actually wants to "lose anything" - the brain just hates that.  So instead, we needed to change our focus TOWARDS something.

Backstory

Here I am at my office late Sunday night, having to redo a software install for my office because I was rushing the process.

I see this with my kids and their homework.  They are rushing rushing rushing and end up having to start all over.  We try and cut corners and do the least amount of work possible and end up doing double!

God Bless my wife, she said this to me while we were doing demolition on our basement.  What I wanted to say to this and what I did say to this was totally different.  Because really... I was confused about why she would even say this to me.

So this past weekend, we decided to rip out a kitchenette in our basement to make way for a family room.  During this time, she thought I was angry and having a terrible time.  She thought this because I was tearing things out and throwing scraps in a pile.  For me, I thought this was perfectly normal and I was having a great time.  For her, she thought I was mad and throwing a tantrum.

Again, if we had only taken a moment to create clarity then we would have not operated out of a place of conflict and hurt feelings.

She was hurt because she thought I didn't want to do this project.  I was upset because I apparently wasn't doing this project "right".  I was irritated because she was trying to make me to a project differently that what I had envisioned.  The problem is that we took way too long to just stop what we were doing and explain the process and expectation.

Imagine what could be possible is we just took a moment to explain our expectation and process to our kids when we ask them for help or to do something.  How about our team or spouse, or even ourselves.

It's not enough to declare a goal to ourselves without truly having clarity about it.

On our coaching page a question was posed about how to know the difference between just being tired and needing rest, versus being tired and pushing through.

Damn good question!

I can honestly tell you that I'm tired when I first wake up and after the kids are in bed.  But so is everyone else!  Obviously!  So, at those times, I literally say out loud, "Fuck that story" and I get up and move.  

Midday is a warning sign for me.  So, I do a shift move (more of that in podcast) and meditate.  Then I honestly listen to my body and what it's telling me.

Depending on if I'm just tired, exhausted, or burned out then determines how I recover.

If I'm burned out, this does require a real check in my priorities.  Because I love what I do, I don't get burned out unless I'm not staying on task with it.  I love doing this podcast, I love adjusting, but I do get burned out when doing bookkeeping, or reports.

I talk more about this in my show so I hope you tune in because there are a lot of great points to avoiding burnout and how to recover fully.
