Now, for this week’s big ideas…
Big Idea #1: “If It’s Due Next Week” Principle
Have you ever been working on a project that you’re really excited to put out to the world, but you keep getting bogged up in the little details?Â
“If this needed to be done in a week, what would you have to do so that the core of the message comes across?”
What would you have to do so that this thing is actually effective and useful?
What is the CORE ESSENCE of the thing you’re working on – that you could get done if it were due in a week?
You’ll be so surprised to see how much you can get done once you set that commitment for yourself. And once you get the core hammered out, you’re bound to feel a TON more inspiration and energy around getting the rest of the details figured out.
Big Idea #2: Presence Yourself
The quality of thoughts reflect the quality of our breathing. The more shallow we breathe, the more insecure and afraid our thoughts generally are. We could spend ages going into deep coaching and healing to try to get to the root of the problems that our thoughts are causing- or we can look at the REAL root of what’s going on.
Wake up your senses. You are alive right now. Breathe deeply – it will completely change the quality of your thoughts.Â
Sometimes, your body just needs to heal, and then the anxiety, insecurity and fears will take care of themselves. Practice DEEP BREATHING. Oftentimes, this kind of grounding and nourishing your body with breath will make those other problems irrelevant! Presence yourself to this moment – bring yourself into this moment.
You don’t take big steps in life by being stuck in the past or the future. You make steps by getting present with what’s happening NOW – what you’re feeling in your body, how you’re breathing, what’s going on NOW.
Big Idea #3: The New Model of Work
The traditional model for work has changed. We used to think of work in terms of “what can I get from this job?”, and people generally had one or two careers throughout their life – they would rely on the extrinsic job for job security.
This is an outdated model that doesn’t work anymore.
The NEW model for a prosperous career is “how can I GIVE? How can I serve?” In the new model, we need to develop intrinsic job security through our own skills.
By paying attention to how we can serve, where we can add value, where there are problems that we can solve – we can build stability and prosperity in our work.
Specifically, we need to develop skills that are both difficult, and in demand. Building skills that are needed, and hard to come by, are how you generate wealth.
