We are the Un-Scripted podcast.  The Podcast where we plan nothing and say everything.

The hockey analogy of leadership development.  The more shots you take on goal the more goals you are bound to make. 

Don't give up!  Keep investing in yourself.  Learn, grow, change and repeat. 
Gisele talks about the the new coaching and mentorship program that she was recently accepted into.
It is focused on taking your business to the $1 million revenue level. 
In your journey of growth and personal development, it is important to make decisions that will force you out of your comfort zone and into situations that will cause you to learn and grow.

Gisele explains how each decision she has made to get help and invest in herself resulted in positive change for her life, relationships and her business.
What decision can you make that will cascade a number of other positive outcomes?
Invest in yourself!  Keep taking shots at your goal!

Andy just starts talkin about himself and the race he did at the Arnold Classic in Columbus OH.
How do you get yourself back on track?
Beating yourself up is not the way.  There is no positive affect from beating yourself up.  Despite its ineffectiveness, many of us use it as a way to motivate ourselves.

Instead, try being the scientist of your own life.  Step back and objectively observe what is happening.  Try to raise your awareness of what you are doing both positively and negatively.
What behaviors are helping you and what ones are hindering you.

It is the tiny changes over time that make the biggest difference.
Gisele share an example from her business and how looking more closely at the metrics that are most reflective of her business's health.
This works in business or in your personal life. 
1.  What are you trying to accomplish?
2.  What one or two behaviors are going to make the biggest improvement? 
3.  Try to state what you want as "I want to go from x to y by when.."

What do you want to change?

When starting a new job, career, project or business, you don't know what you don't know.  
Then will always be unexpected things to deal with both good and bad.
The more you repeat an activity the easy it gets.
Turning good behavior in to habits will help you get to where you want to be.
It very difficult to start new habits and eliminate bad ones.
Three books to read on the topic of habits:
The Power of Habit
Tiny Habits
Atomic Habits
 How to create a good habit: 

• 1 st Law - (Cue) – Make it obvious 
• 2 nd Law – (Craving) – Make it attractive 
• 3 rd Law (Response) – Make it easy 
• 4 th Law (Reward) – Make it satisfying 

We can invert these laws to learn how to break a bad habit 

• Inversion of 1st Law (Cue) – Make it invisible 
• Inversion of 2nd Law (Craving) – Make it unattractive 
• Inversion of 3rd Law (Response) – Make it difficult Brief Summary of Atomic Habits
• Inversion of 4th Law (Reward) – Make it unsatisfying

Gisele has been having a rough couple of weeks. She continues to run into a repetitive communication issue with service providers.  Andy advices what to do when your responses to stress are not creating effective communication. The mind will fight, flight or freeze when under stress. Gisele and Andy are freezers! The silence to violence reaction is common but not sound. We discuss how to unfreeze the brain with questions and recondition your responses using a process called S.T.A.T.E.

Facts combined with emotions are called "your story." Retraining your mind to be rational instead of emotional when dealing with conflict is not easy and the goal is not to suppress or discount your emotions, but rather to effectively communicate your story. So, by separating the facts from your emotions, and essentially asking the other person to try and do the same, you're more likely to find the miscommunication and a healthy resolution. This is particularly important when you want to keep a relationship in tact.

There was also something mentioned about the theory of the future coming at you instead of you going into the future....Andy is just blowing minds today.

Update on Andy's goal to attempt to write and perform comedy.  Gisele is going to talk to her friend to get him booked for a show.
Andy is also going to challenge to do a new challenge...Bench press and 5K.

Gisele went on vacation to the Dominican Republic.  They had an awesome time but the service was not great.  However, her boyfriend caught 3 white marlins while deep sea fishing.  Apparently he has been after these illusive creatures for almost 25 years.  Nice work Dom!

In the course of your life and career, do not be afraid try new things at any age.  You might just unlock something in yourself, an interest or a passion that you never thought you would like!

Gisele tells Andy not to do so much meditation on Tuesday mornings before our podcast.
Gisele is in the January slump for the restaurant business.
However, she had an amazing year and a fantastic December at the Tipsy Bean.
Also voted number one coffee shop for Erie, PA for 2021.  Very well deserved...Congratulations!!!
So how do big changes in life and business happen? 
Read Atomic Habits by James Clear!
"You do not rise to the level of your goal. You fall to the level of your systems."
The aggregation of marginal gains is a term Clear uses to describe tiny changes that create great gains.
What things do you want to change?  What regular behavior if done consistently will lead you to the results you want?
Gisele uses the analogy of making someone's coffee just right to bring them the maximum amount of satisfaction with the product.  The tiny things make a huge difference. 
She then describes the tiny changes she made to the coffee shop over the last couple of years that resulted in her 250% growth.
What struggles are you experiencing in you life or career?  What has helped you?  What would you like help with?

Thank you all for listening to us...we are so grateful!

Today we discuss the flying hippo picture from Instagram.
Where does life feel clunky?  Where do you feel like you are fighting the current?
Where you to sore?  What are you doing when you feel like you are in the flow?
What are you really good at with little effort?
You can do anything you want in life but you can't do everything you want.
You need to quit things in order to do new things.  If you find yourself stuck, begin to quit doing the things that are getting you no where.
Ask for help!  We are often horrible self monitors.
