Summary

Welcome back to another episode here on the Introspective. We are going to have a deep dive on something that a lot of us entrepreneurs are going through as we are trying to really discover ourselves. That journey of discovery can be a rocky one. It can be a roller coaster ride or sometimes it can be very discouraging. Or you’ll hit those moments where it can be very exciting. For this episode, we're going to really unpack these things and delve more into relationships with others and with ourselves and how we can build that foundation that's going to allow us to grow and really hit that next level. Bill O’Herron is here on the Introspective to help us with that.

Bill O’Herron, LCSW is a corporate executive, practicing therapist (weekends and evenings), and writer who seeks to use his 33 years of financial sales management experience, 24 years of marriage, 15 years of counseling clients, and 8,500 hours of sitting quietly to help his clients better understand themselves and deepen their relationships. His research shows that relationships fail for one single reason: a lack of understanding of one’s own emotions and reaction patterns created in childhood. His work with archetypes demonstrates also that relationships are not a single experience or dyad between two people but are eight unique relationships all occurring at the same time. He celebrates and humorously expounds on the belief that working on self, which will automatically improve the dynamics of all our relationships, is the most important thing in life, and that what we do right now in our relationship echoes through posterity, changing who our grandchildren's children become.

What you’ll learn

The things to keep in mind when going through volatile periods

How does the concept of ‘standing in the fire’ works in opening yourself up to the external environment

Bill’s experience with 8,500 hours of meditation

Favorite Quote: The work you do today on yourself, in your marriage, will change your grandkids, grandkid’s lives.

Summary

It’s the first Sunday of June and it’s another time for us to have another solo episode with your host, Jake Anderson. Jake talks about organizing his life which is something that he’s been really pushing for especially when he hit a mode where he started feeling overwhelmed. When you’re overwhelmed, you’re more likely to first look at what you can eliminate since attaching to that is unnecessary and it needs to go. Second is looking where to focus on; third is implementing it and getting into some harmony.

Organization is really important since it is a way to protect your energy, which is crucial to success. Being disorganized is not fun since nothing really gets done on your part and you’re just being overwhelmed with loads of things. So for this episode, Jake talks about the four specific tools that he uses everyday and what exactly he did with these particular tools. These tools are not just for his business, but for all aspects of his life. Let’s get ready for another new week and just take a few moments of this Sunday to reflect, revelal, learn, and grow on today's episode!

Summary

Welcome back to another new week of deep dives here on the Introspective. For today's episode, we’re going to focus on productivity, especially as we entrepreneurs, can really overwhelm ourselves when it comes to our work and activities. We might stay up until the morning just to fulfill what we think is needed in order to succeed but in the long run, it’s not going to be healthy for you – we shouldn’t be operating that way. And there's certain things that we need to understand when it comes to productivity. To really show us the true meaning of productivity, we have Klaas Van Oosterhout here on today’s episode.

Klaas is an award-winning business and life coach who helps business owners and entrepreneurs increase their productivity not only in winning in business but also winning in the home too. He is also the founder of ‘Become the Me I Want To Be’ and the host of the ‘Secret Productivity Hacks Radio’. He has helped thousands of men in over 13 different countries find significance in the home and the workplace. Over 150 thought leaders have been featured on his shows, and he has been recognized as a world-changer by notable individuals such as Russell Brunson of Clickfunnels, Stephen Larsen of OfferMind, among others. For Klaas, productivity is a specialty in which we’re going to break down in today’s interview.

What you’ll learn

Keeping the equilibrium between your business and your home

Knowing when you need a ‘reset’ and preparing yourself to get moving again

Klaas’ various projects and the ‘100 Masters of Productivity’

Favorite Quote: There's nothing more important than working on your health. Because if you're not healthy, if you're not feeling the energy, it will move its waste to every single area in your life.

Summary

Let’s get ready for another new week and just take a few moments of this Sunday to reflect, reveal, learn, and grow on today's Moment of Introspection! Yes, you heard it right, we have another AMOI episode today with your host Jake Anderson. For our today’s solo episode, Jake shares about trimming the fat in your life and all the things that are around you. Looking at the Parkinson’s Law wherein you just fill in the spaces that are available (e.g. a 3000 square foot house is filled with stuff), that same law also applies to your life.

It’s like you feel the need to just fill your day up with stuff like things to do or keeping yourself busy. But with this, you’ll never be able to create space for other things to come into your life. This is really an entrepreneurial trap because you’re just preoccupied with your business, you don’t realize the other things that are occurring in your life. That’s what Jake will flesh out on our today’s Moment of Introspection!

What you’ll learn

Working with the right people and the right projects

Evaluating at the things that you’re involved in

How Jake has ‘trimmed the fat’ in terms of his endeavors

Favorite Quote: They don't care about all the fluff and ego stuff that you're doing surrounding the problem that you're solving. They care about getting a solution for

their problem and getting it solved. That's it.
