Wheel of Life Podcast: Business|Productivity|Accountability

Today we are going to talk about Choose Wisely: Choose Life. The choices you make every minute of every day influence the life you live and the person you are. Make them wisely. I can choose to eat the bowl of ice cream, knowing I’ll have to spend an extra 30 minutes or more on the treadmill tomorrow, or I can choose to forego the ice cream and feel sorry for myself for at least the next hour or so. Heck! I choose to eat the ice cream anyway, knowing that I may as well have rubbed the entire bowl straight on my belly, but also accepting the fact that the price I will pay for 2 minutes of glorious ice cream today is 30 minutes or more of hard push on the treadmill tomorrow. Nevertheless, I made the choice and I take full responsibility for making a choice that may not have necessarily been the right one. That’s what making choices is all about – taking full responsibility for our actions. As Ann Weber, a psychologist from North Carolina says, “Choice is uncomfortable, because it makes us feel responsible. The advantage of indecision is being blameless, but the disadvantage is a life out of control.” We talk about 4 personality types who avoid decision making. Do you fall into one of these categories? Consider this: life doesn’t just happen. The life we choose to lead is dictated by the choices we’ve made in the past, those we make today and those we’ll make in the future.

Today we are going to talk about How Strong Is Your Belief? What you believe about the world at large and how you fit into the general scheme of things will determine who you are and how you relate to the world you live in. What we believe about ourselves is encapsulated in the voice we hear in our head. And what that voice tells us is so powerful it will manifest itself in every action we take, every word we say, and every thought we think. We are who we believe ourselves to be. Nobody else but you has access to the turntable of your mind. And only you have the power to change the recording. We talk about 10 guidelines to change that old record on the player that goes around in your head, and replace it with a melody you can play for the rest of your life. To believe is to give meaning to your life. To believe in yourself harnesses all your strengths, unlocks your potential and creates a world of endless possibilities.

Today we are going to talk about 6 Ideas for Creating a New World of Opportunities. According to the laws of physics and aerodynamics, a bumble bee can’t fly. So…try telling a bumble bee that! Our beliefs about ourselves, those around us and the world at large affect who we are and how we behave. Beliefs are merely thoughts that with a little encouragement and repetition from our over-active minds transform into facts. Or so we are led to believe. Once we have formed a self-limiting belief, we continue to pursue evidence to prove that our belief is real. These beliefs are backed up by our self-talk, providing further evidence to back up our negative thoughts. So, how do we break the vicious cycle of self-limiting beliefs and create more positive outcomes? We discuss a 6 Step Plan to Break the Cycle of Limiting Beliefs Breaking a self-limiting belief is like seeing the world for the first time without the lens cap on. A brave new world of opportunity that you never knew existed is out there, waiting just for you.

Today we are going to talk about how Wasted Time Adds Up – How you can make more money by focusing on your high pay-off activities (or have more time to do what you want)? How much time do you think you waste each day? Really think about this for a minute – how much time do you think you waste each day? Remember it all adds up. Five minutes here, 10 minutes, there 30 minutes on something fun yet not productive. When we asked people how much time do they think they waste in a day, many of them said approx. 2 hours per day. So we will use this as our example. You can easily do the math for yourself depending on the number you came up with for how much time you think you waste each day. Here’s an example of someone who said they ‘waste’ 2 hours per day. 2 hours per day = 10 hours per week = 1 week per month = 12 weeks per year Divide by 4 and you get a whopping 3 months per year that is spent in non-productive time. Now, let’s not dwell on the non-productive time that we waste. Let’s see what that time is worth to us in revenue per year if we utilize that 2 hours per day on high pay-off activities. Even if you start by being more effective and not letting time-wasters and distractions get in your way for 30 minutes per day, you will make even more money and have the option to take more time to do what you want to do. How can you apply this concept in your life so you can achieve more of your goals?

Today we are going to talk about What Are You Committed To? The 4 Factors for Effective Commitment. Commitment means being bound by a course of action to bring about the desired results. It is one of the most powerful personal traits we can aim to achieve. Being committed to yourself, your goals, your business and your relationships is what raises you above the mediocre, because people who honor their commitments stand out in the crowd. Not honoring your commitment destroys your credibility, dependability, and trustworthiness. Enjoy the discussion on the four factors for effective commitment. What it takes is a shared desire to achieve the same vision and determination to succeed no matter what obstacles are placed in your path. What will you do next to increase your commitments? Make a list and begin implementing them in your life. My hope for our time together is that you got value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful – personally and professionally.
