Your Best Just Got Better

Are you smart? As in, “the smartest person in the room?”It’s a fine line, the whole “I’m smart / you’re smart” thing. There’s a meeting you’re heading to, or a conference you’re attending, or even a phone call you’re going to take where you’ll be in a position to (1) learn something and (2) teach something. Ok, so maybe YOU wouldn’t call it teaching, let’s not get hung up on semantics; if you share something you know, and someone else didn’t know it, you could say they “learned something and you were in the vicinity.” In this episode, I’ll share with you what I think about people who declare they’re the smartest person in the room… In this episode, you’ll also learn… * Any idea how much time Jason has spent in Ojai this month? * There are two things you COULD do if you’re the smartest person in the room. * What Jason thinks when he’s surrounded by “really smart” people. * There’s a one-two punch to win at up-leveling your skills. * You can save $100 by registering for the Get Momentum Leadership Retreat! Please do leave us a question, an idea, a prompt below, so we know what YOU think of this ‘cast. Next month, things are changing. BIG time… If it’s time to make new habits, you need this podcast.

Are you visiting with family today? Are you looking to make 2015 better? As you’ll hear in today’s episode, I almost DIDN’T publish one of these for you this week. You see, I know it’s a holiday and all. So, listen in to find out WHY I did get this done, and sent it to you. Now, as you look toward next year, ask yourself, “Am I going to be better in 12 months?” If you answered that question with a “Yes,” I’ll ask you a follow-up question: “What is the ONE thing you know you need to be doing more of, or more consistently in order to be better in a year?” If I could give you a tactic, here’s what I’d say, “Write down what you just thought of. Put in on your computer monitor, or on the front of your notebook that is always with you. And, look at it EVERY SINGLE DAY. As I wrote in my book, you get better at what you focus on getting better at. In this episode, you’ll also learn… * Why Jason published a podcast episode the day he’s celebrating Christmas! * How to get TWO FREE months of Get Momentum coaching. * Why Jason thinks the Beatles (yes, the band!) would have loved the book. * What “Toyota” manufacturing has to do with “Leadership Development.” * Finally, this “could be” one of the last podcast episodes that Jason records for you!

What if you were more persistent? What goal do you have to “Stick To”? Studying, working alongside, and coaching some of the most effective and successful entrepreneurs, athletes and managers in the world, I’ve learned a thing or two about persistence. In fact, while I was at the PopTech.org conference in Camden, Maine last October, I made this one of my “4th Questions” that I asked people. (If you don’t know what I mean when I say “4th question,” email me. I’ll send that section of my book to ya!) During the conversation with my new “friends,” I’d ask, “What goal do you have to Stick To in order to make happen in the next year or two?” It was so cool. As people shared some of their deepest goals and biggest dreams, we stayed in what I call the “energy of the possible.” Over the past month, I’ve sent emails to three people, with ideas that I’ve continued to think about related to our conversation. Tell me, do you have someone on your team who’s continuing to think about your goals, even when you’re not? It’s kinda awesome to have those people on your team. I can speak from experience. In this episode, you’ll also learn… * How to surround yourself by and with people who will ask you BIG questions. * One of the BEST tactics Jason knows of to experience more success and achieve more goals. * There are three OTHER tactics you could be learning about this month. * A “dictionary definition” of the word, Perseverance. * Where Jason will be in the next week or so!

A Year From Now... Have you thought about that yet? It’s “that time of the year.” I’ve made two different Spotify playlists for holiday music (one to play during the “in-between-times” during seminars this month, the other to play in my hotel room or office while I’m working!). Now, since I celebrate Christmas, I did write to Santa to ask him for the one thing I want this year…In case any of you know someone who works at Specialized Bikes, let them know Santa’s gonna come by to pick up my bicycle! Ok, speaking of things going well, in this podcast episode I’m going to continue “pulling the curtain open” on the 4 things you can do this month to prepare for an even better 2015. In this episode, you’ll also learn… * Did you know you can email Jason any time??? * Three things that bring people down. * Where in the world is Jason? * The #1 tactic that Get Momentum members learn to “get better” every day. * What Confucius, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Paine, Peter Drucker and Jason Womack say about the absolute power (and necessity) of reflection.

Are the right people on your team? If you know what drags you down, will you change? Twice in my professional career, I’ve had to leave jobs NOT because of the work, but because of the community I had become a part of. In 1999 and again in 2006 I realized that the power of the people was overwhelming my ability to do MY work here on the planet. That was when I started to research this sociological phenomenon I call “the people, not the work.” In this episode, you will learn… * People leave people, they don’t necessarily quit the work. * There are just a few people you can talk to who are there to bring you down. * There is ONE thing you can do tomorrow morning that will RADICALLY change how good or how bad your day is. * Next year, Get Momentum members will learn 12 “Leadership Skills.” * What three other things Get Momentum members say they need to be better at.
