Ideas Worth Thinking About

This week we share a messages with ideas worth thinking about personally and professionally. One of the blessing of my life is the time I have gotten to spend with many successful and interesting people in business and sports.

These encounters have been rich in wisdom and the diversity of personal stories of people overcoming massive obstacles and challenges to achieve success have been hugely inspirational.

Here are a few of those ideas for your consideration.

The climb is a necessity, not an option.

If you got dropped at the top of the mountain, you'd pass out from the altitude. The climb physically and mentally prepares you for the summit. This is the reason winning the lottery often ends up being a curse—the climb to earn the money prepares you for the challenges of having it. Never intentionally seek to avoid the climb. Thank the struggle for what it will do for you.

You may control your inputs, but you're ultimately judged for your outputs.

A pure focus on inputs may not serve your end goals if you're consistently falling short. You should regularly evaluate the quality of your inputs on the basis of the quality of your outputs. Inputs and outputs may be dislocated in the short-term, but they should be connected in the long-term. If not, you probably need to adjust your inputs.

Your entire life will change when you realize that everything matters.

You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. If you want to win, your responsibility is to show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as you do for the big things.

"Attitude reflects leadership, Captain."

This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Remember the Titans. It is the responsibility of the leader to set the tone, to set the expectations, to set the environment of respect. If a leader achieves that, attitude follows.

"We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." - Epictetus

The quality of your listening determines the quality of your speaking. Stop trying to be interesting and focus on being interested. Being interested makes you interesting.

The world would be a better place if everyone defaulted to curiosity.

Learn to approach all disagreement and conflict from a place of curiosity rather than animosity. It will change your life.

Don't have a great day, make it a great day.

I recently had a conversation with a parent who shifted from saying "have a great day" to "make it a great day" each morning to their kids. The subtle shift, from passive "have" to active "make" is important: You are in control. Remember that.

Learn to leave your ego at the door.

Entrenchment Effect: When presented with evidence that disproves their stance, humans have a tendency to dig in their heels and actually become more attached to their idea. It's an ego thing, we want to be right. Focus on finding the truth, not being right.

Find people who want relationships, not transactions.

The best filter for life: Does this person believe that life is about relationships or transactions? If you can answer that question about a person, you have all the information you need to know about them. Proceed accordingly.

I hope you found a few of these as interesting as I did, wrestle with them and make them your own.

If your business needs marketing that works, give us a call. We're here to help!

Have a great day unless you chose otherwise!

Special Note - We have just created a brand new Ai Inventory Assistant for car dealers, we call it Inventory Ai. If you are a car dealer and have a chat feature on your website you need to switch immediately to Inventory Ai. Your chat feature is actually giving customers what we call Internet Rage and costing you business.

To find out more visit InventoryAssistant.ca you can try it out for yourself or we can book a demo and show you how your current chat function is losing business for you!
