- 101. The Big Leap #6 - Living in Your Zone of Genius
The message of The Big Leap http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, by Gay Hendricks, ties into the DREAM-to-DO message Kent shares on this podcast so well that we have created a 7-part series to talk about what it takes to make the “The Big Leap" in our lives, relationships, and careers.
Kent started The Big Leap series in Episode 096 and 097 by defining the Upper Limit Problem and examining its flawed foundation. In Episode 098, he showed us how to spot Upper Limit Behavior and what steps to take to dissolve it in our daily lives. Then, in Episode 099 and 100, Kent talked about confronting your fear with your Zone of Genius and how asking the right questions can lead you into your Zone of Genius.
In this episode, you will discover how to start living consistently in your Zone of Genius!
Purpose of this Episode
You can start living in your Zone of Genius today by practicing three daily habits (“shortcuts”).

36 min - 100. The Big Leap #5 - How to Discover Your Zone of Genius
The message of The Big Leap http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, by Gay Hendricks, ties into the DREAM-to-DO message Kent shares on this podcast. That’s why we have created this 7-part series of episodes to talk about how each of us can take “The Big Leap" in our lives, relationships, and careers.
We kicked off The Big Leap series in Episode 096 by defining the Upper Limit Problem and how it works. Next, in Episode 097, we examine the flawed foundation of the Upper Limit Problem. In Episode 098, Kent showed us how to spot Upper Limit Behavior and what steps to take to dissolve it in our daily lives. Last week, in Episode 099, we focused on confronting your fear with your Zone of Genius.
In this episode, Kent shares four "genius questions" and then three "unique-ability" questions designed to help you discover your Zone of Genius.
Purpose of this Episode
You can discover your Zone of Genius by asking the right questions about your unique ability.
Review of previous Big Leap episodes:
- Episode 096 — Defining the Upper Limit Problem and how it works
- Episode 097 — Hidden barriers that hold you back and how to dissolve them
- Episode 098 — How to spot Upper Limit Behavior in your daily life
- Episode 099 — Confronting your fear with your Zone of Genius
Tips Shared in this Episode
1) Four genius questions:
- What do I most love to do? (I love it so much that I can do it for long stretches of time without getting bored or tired.)
- What work do I that doesn’t seem like work? (I can do this kind of work all day without ever feeling tired or bored.)
- In my work, what produces the highest ratio of abundance and satisfaction to the amount of time spent? (Even if I only do a few minutes of it, an idea or deeper connection often appears and eventually leads to huge value.)
- What is my unique ability? (What is my special skill that, when fully realized and put to work, can provide enormous benefits to me and any organization I serve?)
2) Three unique-ability questions:
- I am at my best when I am ___________________________________
- When I am at my best, the exact thing I am doing is ___________________________________
- When I am doing this, the thing I love most about it is __________________________________

27 min - 099. The Big Leap #4 - Confronting Your Fear with Your Zone of Genius
The message of The Big Leap http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, by Gay Hendricks ties into the DREAM-to-DO message Kent shares on this podcast. That’s why we have created this short series of podcast episodes to talk about how each of us can take “The Big Leap" in our lives, relationships, and careers.
We kicked off the Big Leap Series in Episode 096 by defining the Upper Limit Problem and how it works. Next, in Episode 097, we examine the flawed foundation of the Upper Limit Problem. In Episode 098, Kent talked about how to spot and dissolve Upper Limit Behavior in our daily lives.
In this episode, Kent defines the Zone of Genius and shares why it’s so important for you to discover your Zone of Genius.
Purpose of this Episode
Before you can take the Big Leap in your life and career, you must confront your fear with your Zone of Genius.
Tips Shared in this Episode
1) Review of past Big Leap episodes:
- Episode 096 — Defining the Upper Limit Problem and how it works
- Episode 097 — Hidden barriers that hold you back and how to dissolve them
- Episode 098 — How to spot Upper Limit Behavior in your daily life
2) Two big questions to ask yourself if you want to take the Big Leap:
- What is my genius?
- How can I bring forth my genius in ways that serve others and myself at the same time?
3) Activities in our lives occur in one of four zones:
- Zone of Incompetences — Activities you are not good at.
- Zone of Competence — Activities others can do just as well as you.
- Zone of Excellence — Activities you do extremely well and are in your comfort zone.
- Zone of Genius — Activities you are uniquely suited to do and draw upon your special gifts and strengths.
4) Discovering your Zone of Genius is your life’s Big Leap!
- Everything else is just a hop.
- The Upper Limit Problem (aka: your Upper Limit Behaviors) pull you away from your Zone of Genius.
- The comfort you experience in your Zone of Excellence also keeps you from taking the Big Leap into your Zone of Genius.
- Most people have carefully-crafted stories about why they can’t take their Big Leap: “If it weren’t for ___________________, I could be doing what I really want to do."
- Often the biggest fear of taking the Big Leap is personal: “If I take the Big Leap into my Zone of Genius, I might fail. What if I really open up to my true genius and find out that my genius isn’t good enough?
5) Your Genius Commitment: “I commit to living in my Zone of Genius, now and forever… all for the glory of God."
- NOTE: Kent added “all for the glory of God” because of his personal faith and belief in Scripture.

36 min - 096. The Big Leap #1 - The Only Problem You Need to Solve
In Episode 088, I introduced you to The Big Leap http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, a book by Gay Hendricks that I read last year. I didn’t just read it, I devoured it. I read it cover-to-cover three times and listened to the audio version at least eight times. The reason I devoured this book is because it ties so well into the DREAM-to-DO message that this podcast and my work is all about.
During Episode 088, I mentioned how I was journaling my way through the book and that once I was finished, I would create a podcast series dedicated to explaining what I’ve learned about The Big Leap and how we can all apply it to our lives. This is the first episode of that series.
My heartfelt hope is that you will do more than just listen to this podcast series. I hope you will:
- Purchase the book http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, and devour it for yourself
- Listen to each of these episodes multiple times
- Wrestle with the ideas I share and journal your thoughts
- Take steps to take the Big Leap in your life, relationships, and career
Purpose of this Episode
Taking the Big Leap will help you move from DREAM to DO in your life, relationships, and career... and the first step to taking the Big Leap is defining what is holding you back—the Upper Limit Problem.
Tips Shared in this Episode
1) What is the Upper Limit Problem?
2) How the Upper Limit Problem works
3) Important questions to ask yourself about the Upper Limit Problem
4) How to dissolve the Upper Limit Problem

32 min - 095. How to Succeed in Business and Have Healthy Family Relationships
Three events occurred this week that made me think about the importance of having healthy family relationships as we move from DREAM to DO in our business or career:
1) My three children went back to college after being home for a month during Christmas and New Year's break.
2) Matt Woodrum asked a great question in his Wrestling with Fatherhood Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrestlingwithfatherhood/ ): What is your biggest family goal for the new year and why?
3) I had a conversation with Jake, a young man who has the opportunity to pursue a career as a speaker. One of his concerns was if travel would negatively impact his family.
These three events made me think deeply about one of the things I am proudest about in my business, and something that I hope I can help the next generation of business leaders experience as well.
Purpose of this Episode
You can succeed in business and maintain healthy family relationships by practicing 5 P's with your children.
Tips Shared in this Episode
Business success will end up being empty if you lose your family along the way. Here are 5 actions you can take to maintain healthy family relationships while also pursuing your business goals.
Prioritize — ideas on how to prioritize your work, life, and family

36 min - 094. Choose Your Best Life NOW!
Most people aren't satisfied with their lives. A big reason why they feel this way is because they give more focus to their career or building a business than they do to determining what kind of life they want to live. Then later, after their plates are filled-to-overflowing with work, they go back and try to figure out how to squeeze the life they want to live into their careers.
That's backwards!
Instead, why not decide what kind of life you want to live first, then figure out a way to make your work fit into that life.
Purpose of this Episode
You can choose your best life now by adapting three simple mindsets.
Tips Shared in this Episode
I start this episode by sharing a quick story about a Life Assessment tool I recently used and how my results were different than a majority of people who took the same assessment.
Mindset #1 — Commit to Putting Life First
Mindset #2 — DREAM Your Best Life
Mindset #3 — DO Your Best Life Now (one area at a time)
