I just finished moving from the west side of LA to Hollywood, which for context, is only about a 20 minute drive away, but the culture is pretty different. One of the biggest changes for me, is the people I used to see on a weekly basis, I’m not going to be seeing some of them as often anymore. That got me thinking about how to make time for certain people, and even what new people I now have more quick access to that I didn’t before. I’m a big believer in being deliberate about the people you spend time with if you want to have better relationships and more success as an entrepreneur. And it’s one of the most simple concepts, though not always easy to control. So for this episode, I’m going to deliver a slightly modified version of a chapter from my book, It’s Time to Start.

The Simple Formula for Controlling Your Responses to Every Day Situations For Better Outcomes, With Brian Kight

Something I've had a growing awareness about lately is my, and everyone's, inability to control things in business and life, and the inevitability that things will go wrong more often than I'd like them to. That's not to say we can't influence our lives, but control is limited. I kept seeing this formula floating around Instagram a few months ago, E+R=O, and tracked it down like a wolf on the hunt to our guest on the podcast today, CEO of Focus3, Brian Kight. At first glance, it's just three letters, and while applying this formula to life is actually that simple, it's more powerful than it appears. In fact, it's one of the most powerful concepts I've ever heard of for handling situations better, and more importantly, making the best out of situations that are less than ideal. E+R=O stands for Event+Response=Outcome, and today's episode is a deep dive on how to apply it. Topics Discussed Applying E+R=O in every day life How to improve discipline The first thing to do if you struggle with responding well to situations Stepping outside of your emotions to make better decisions How to not take things personally that other people do   Episode Mentions & Resources Focus3 Podcast Daily Discipline Emails Follow Brian on Instagram and Twitter Focus3.com

Be More Productive by Understanding Distractions & Lazy Triggers

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 5, 2018 26:26


Productivity isn’t about what most people think it is. It’s not about working more or just working faster so you can cram more tasks into your day. We don’t become more productive by being busier simply for the sake of “doing more.” Productivity is about efficiency. Increasing productive output. Ironically, what’s natural for most of us to do when we’re trying to become more productive, is adding more processes, more checkboxes, more tasks with no gaps in our unrealistically optimized schedules. In reality, increasing productive output starts with decreasing non-productive output, becoming more focused, and eliminating distractions. That’s what we’re talking about in this episode: Becoming more productive by understanding common distractions so we can start the process of elimination, and being aware of our lazy triggers—the things in our lives that typically cause us to work slowly or not at all when we need to be. Topics Discussed   Eliminating distractions vs. overpowering them Optimizing schedule based on energy Emails, text, calls Prioritizing your work over other people’s requests Work environment How to stop checking your phone while you work

When you’re living what I call the unleashed life, that means you’re following your own compass, blazing your own trail, pursuing your purpose and calling. Be bold and brave enough to explore what that looks like for you. Do work you love. Make a difference in the world and in the lives of those around you. The unleashed life isn’t a destination as much as it is a lifestyle choice. It’s a never-ending journey and adventure. It’s a decision you can make to start living freely and on purpose right now. If the unleashed life sounds like something you’re already living or want to get started on the journey of, then you’re going to fit right in!
