August 25, 2020 42. I Can't Do This Anymore
I can't even.
I can't even take this.
I can't even take this conversation.
I can't even take this conversation about I can't.
Eliminate this word and the world of opportunity will open. It's not about what happens to us. It's about how we perceive the thing that happens to us. We are in control.

August 21, 2020 41. The Unwritten Rules
Have you ever played a new game with a group friends and you start having beginners luck? At some point, there's a veteran player who starts telling you all the things you can and cannot do. You ask, "Is that a rule?" They respond, "Well, it's an unwritten rule. It's the etiquette of the game, and it's a respectful thing to the other players."
You end up accepting and start trying to accommodate your game to the unwritten rule...BUT, wait a minute?! If it's not written down and you can't refer to it. Why are we following it?!
This is the basis of our conversation today. It is going against conventional thought to help outline why being an excellent unwritten rule follower prevents you from growing yourself and the game.

August 18, 2020 40. Indecision Is The Thief Of Opportunity
Some players are proactive and don't wait for directions. They need advice, but it's advice that will further advance their thinking. The top 1% of professionals in their respective fields have this trait.
A real high performer looks to build their career at any means possible, AND they will not wait for the opportunity to approach them. They take the opportunity given to them but also look for it.
Indecision is the thief of opportunity; inability to choose how to construct your day, unwillingness to see past your current goals to make bodacious ones, and forgoing expert advice to multiply it in your skills. The switch is in you being more proactive.

August 13, 2020 39. How Every Rumor Gets You Farther Away From Your End-Goal
Do you remember in grade school when the teacher played the game telephone? Everyone gets in a line, and the teacher tells a short story. It's usually 1-2 sentences long. As your classmates relay the message, you wonder what it's going to be. You see people smiling, giggling, and it's finally your turn.

When you hear it, you look confused....is this what Ms. Deplanty said?!?

As you take a deep breath as everyone's staring at you, the teacher asks, "What was the story?"

"The banana went to a donut shop. He asked for a cup of coffee with his creme. His name was Larry."

"Rumor has it." is the game of telephone in real life. We get sucked into these stories that have characters, situations, and objects mixed-up. When we hear the story, we quickly accept it at face value. This episode is to address this notion and talk about how we get stuck in a big game of telephone without even knowing it. We love knowing secrets, we enjoy insider information, and we want to bond with our friends. At what point, however, is this detrimental to your growth when trying to reach your end-goal.

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
- Aristotle.

August 11, 202038. WARNING: Here's What Everyone Needs to Know About Goals
Have you ever been excited about a project where you felt like you could take on the world?!
I've been there too.
The difference between the times I was able to deliver on this excitement, and when I ended up binge-watching my favorite show was me writing down my goals.
There are plenty of internet gurus who have told you this, but it's usually in a strict and stringy format. I don't know about you, but this makes me unexcited about my future.
In this episode we're going to go over the following:
How to create your own story will allow you to write down your goals, which means you will be on a better track to accomplish them.

We can't get married to our story because goals are ever-evolving, which means you're growing your skills and becoming a better version of yourself.

How miss opportunities will allow you to write your most perfect story, which means you're mastering your craft.

August 04, 2020 36. Status Wars
Price wars are when multiple players in a space compete against one another in hopes to attract more customers by providing the cheapest price in the market.
It's a slippery slope as purchasing brings about price changes until the competition is priced out of the market. Status wars have the same slippery slope.
How do you win?
What's the better route?
How do you separate yourself?
The best companies in the world are driven by giving more value than what they charge. They are consumed by not making the cheapest product, but the best product. Listen to Episode 36 of the Closing Pitch.

July 28, 2020 34. Mastering the Art of the Tough Conversation
First impressions are not easy, but what's even harder are the tough conversations.

The similarities between first impressions and tough conversations is understanding the other persons point of view. Without being a cliche and just blurting out, "IT'S EMPATHY!" We're going to navigate our original struggles with starting the unpleasant conversations and how respect plays a huge factor while delivering an uneasy conversation about playing time or being cut. Here are the "Do's" and “Do-not's" of tough conversations.
