For those who have the 'activator' strength in their top 10 skills, they are amazing and starting things but not necessarily great at finishing things. There can be an overwhelming need and desire to put things into motion. In this episode, Eddie discusses how this strength works with his other strengths in combination to achieve high results. He also talks about how to get past the initial motivation to get things done and move it toward long term motivation. By focusing on long-term growth, we can get past that initial motivation and turn it into something more meaningful.

These people are good at analyzing and picking ways to do things based on what they know.

In this episode, Eddie talks about his struggles as he began really hitting it hard with his work. Even when he was focused on really good things, which involved helping people and building a business, he began to ignore his own health. Self-care needs to be prioritized if we are to help other people and maximize our efforts.

In this episode, Eddie discusses the 'relator' and what that means in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. These are the kind of people who value relationships deeply and hate shallow conversations and small talk. Often, they hold people to what they say and hold themselves to what their own values as well. However, with this rigidity comes a danger if they aren't flexible to certain situations. We need to have the flexibility to deal with difficulty in life if we are to thrive as we need to.

We are meant to be of service and value to other people in a way that honors who we are. The activity of bringing that service and value should bring joy to others as well. Everything in your life can be improved if you do it in a way that is true to you. But you need to call out to what you want. In this episode, Eddie talks about honoring your strengths and calling out to what you want.

When we think about who we were, who we are, and who we are going to become, who we are going to become is scary as hell. There is an underlying fear of becoming more than what we were. When we don't honor our strengths, we can't become the true selves that we need to be.

Whether it's through classes, trainings, listening to speaking events, etc., what matters is what takes place soon after. In this episode, Eddie talks about how belief is built and how it connects to the results following inspiration.

There are a lot of people who complain about what they don't have, people who focus on what is missing. While focusing on the negative is often counterintuitive, identifying what needs to be done to solve the problems often requires us to look at the negative aspects of a job or business. But we can't just complain. We need to be the ones who create solutions to the problems in our lives.
