In November of 2012 I decided to join professional network/entrepreneurial brain trust.
The rationale was simple, successful people don’t succeed on their own.
There are two parts to the program:
- Monthly interviews with a wide array of brilliant people, masters and advisors that have helped countless people with productivity, health, psychology, and more
- Membership to an exclusive community of ambitious professionals to hold you accountable, encourage you, and help you live a Rich Life
I read as much (or more) than anyone I know, but reading is a time consuming endeavor.
This brain trust provides access to knowledge, wisdom and proven strategies that top performers use to…
- Get more done
- Stay focused
- Earn more money
Below is a video preview and my notes from Kris Carr discussing, among other things, how to overcome fear and take control of your life:
- Define your purpose:
What is your purpose? What actions are you taking that are aligned with your purpose? What actions are not aligned with your purpose? Schedule time to do more of the former; less of the latter.
- Kris’ Mantra for “I’m not ready“:
We all have time. We’ll figure it out. Cut the drama. Let’s go. One step at a time.
- You become efficient by being organized. That’s the crux of time management.
- Don’t get distracted by shiny objects; focus on your purpose, what matters, and your audience’s needs.
- When you come across someone that inspires you or interests you, go deep. Read all of their work, attend their events and reach out to them to to start building a relationship.
For Kris, this person is Tara Brach (also mentioned by Olivia Fox Cabane)
- Kris on challenges:
I’m not going to go get overwhelmed. I’m going to figure it out.
- Kris on going from specific-to-general (and why that’s important)
Take your specific experience and transform it into a metaphor that reveals general truths that will resonate with your audience. What universal truths can you find within your own experiences?
