I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 31, Matt Crump shares a story about how a U.S. Army soldier influenced him to radically change his life – without ever asking him to change. Matt also talks about how he was affected when someone believed in him. Matt then advises us to FLIP, which is an acronym of four guiding principles. 00:00 Prologue Matt is an extraordinary professional who lives a full life! In the links below, I highly recommend watching his video, “I choose life, not cancer!” Not only has Matt served in the U.S. Army, owned a record store, and served as a Christian pastor, he is an author, Founder & CEO of MCM Inc, a podcast host, owner of S&W Design Studios, and owner of Sandhills Music Center. He is a business coach and consultant who helps executives, entrepreneurs, and individuals to align their beliefs and actions. 01:15 Part 1: The Influence that Led Matt to a Mountaintop We can influence in lifechanging ways. Matt shares a story about how a brother U.S. Army soldier influenced him to give up alcohol and drugs but without trying to change Matt. 06:55 Part 2: When Someone Believes in You, Your Perspective Changes Because of his battle with stage four cancer, Matt gave up his music store and being a full-time pastor. Matt shares how a publishing house and one of their writers believed in him and his story about cancer. 15:45 Part 3: If You FLIP, You Become More than a Role Too often, we link our identity to our business role. With most of our time dedicated to a role, I can understand why a role becomes your purpose. Matt challenges us to FLIP, which is an acronym that can lead you to overcome life obstacles and change how you perceive your work and your roles. _________________________________ How You Can Support the Show Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.

Clutter has a negative impact on your brain. It can lead to disorganization, overwhelm, increased stress, and even health issues. That’s why organizing your brain and your surroundings is so important. This episode is about the benefits of organization in your life and how it can lead to positive outcomes such as weight loss, decreased stress, increased productivity, and clearing the way to smash through your goals. The benefits of an organized brain are really amazing, and I want to help you get there.  This episode walks through a bunch of tips and some of my favorite tools I use to keep organized. This includes a couple of great books that can help eliminate clutter from your physical and digital life, as well as the tools and systems I use to manage all existing commitments while building and scaling The Brainy Business. Tools discussed include: Focus mode on Word, Time Timer, Gmail’s Snooze feature, GANTT charts and how I use Trello to get it all done in an organized and sane way.  Before diving in, I want to tell you about a really cool article that was posted recently on Bloomberg. It’s called Top Jobs for the Next Decade Are Behavioral Scientist, Data Analyst. This is great news for the field, and I am totally not surprised as so many people have been reaching out with questions about getting degrees in behavioral economics or how they can pursue work in the field. More people are also finding the podcast and asking about working together. Look for an upcoming episode with my recommendations and resources for exploring this fascinating and growing field. If you have specific questions you would like included, hit me up on social media.  CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD!

If you are already on The Brainy Business list, you get direct links to everything related to each episode…as well as access to the super secret subscriber page with all the freebies. [03:44] Bloomberg recently came out with an article called Top Jobs for the Next Decade Are Behavioral Scientist, Data Analyst. So awesome! [04:05] So many people have been reaching out and asking questions about getting degrees in behavioral economics or how to pursue work in behavioral science. [05:14] When your brain is overwhelmed…which happens a lot quicker than you would think…worse decisions are made. An example would be the chocolate cake study. [06:15] Essentially, when the brain gets overwhelmed – even by a few extra digits – it makes worse decisions. [07:20] Your conscious brain’s 40 bits are bogged down with that big number. More things that would normally be handled by the conscious brain are now in the realm of the reward seeking subconscious brain. [07:44] Clutter also increases stress, makes it harder to focus, increases the likelihood you will procrastinate, costs time and money, and can keep you stuck in the past. [09:19] We are loss averse as a species, we don’t like to get rid of things. We want them “just in case” and the brain will make reasons for why it needs that extra stuff around. [09:48] If the “things” (physical, mental, emotional, digital) surrounding you aren’t well organized and are getting out of hand it is keeping you from reaching your goals. This is why the first step in the Brainy Mindset Course is to work on clutter. [10:10] Even if you aren’t consciously paying attention to the clutter, your brain knows it is there and it creates distraction. [11:02] The reverse is that the brain loves organization. Think about when you go on vacation or are looking at awesomely organized spaces. [13:10] Americans waste 9 million hours per day collectively looking for misplaced stuff – 30 minutes per person per day on miscellaneous stuff from keys to remotes to shoes and socks. [13:34] Clutter leads to procrastination, weight gain, stress…all kinds of things keeping you from your goals. [14:31] THE LIFE CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP by Marie Kondo. When people clear up the clutter in one area of their life they make huge shifts in other areas of their life. [16:08] You go throughout your house and make a huge single pile of everything in the category. You start with clothes – everything you own in one giant pile. Does it spark joy? [19:45] INDISTRACTABLE by Nir Eyal has great tips for eliminating digital clutter. [20:43] NO MORE NOTIFICATIONS - Changing the notifications on your phone is easy and SO freeing. It only takes a few seconds and can help you take control of your life, living in an organized style on your own terms. [22:32] You can also turn off email notifications.  [25:13] The next tool I’ve learned to love is “FOCUS MODE” from Word. If you need to write a lot of content…like me…you spend a lot of time in word and it is easy to get distracted. Focus blacks out everything except the document you are working on. [26:27] Your brain is constantly pulling focus and looking at other stuff. If you remove it from your sight, you really just…stop thinking about it. [28:26] Another thing I use to keep focused and productive is the TIME TIMER.  [29:33] Let’s say I want to commit to writing, instead of saying “I am going to sit and write…no distractions this time!” I say, I am going to write for 20 minutes. And set the timer…that feels easier to focus. [32:35] The SNOOZE function for Gmail. I don’t know if other email clients have this…but if they do you should absolutely use it if you can. The Snooze function allows me to determine when I want to tackle an item, and move it so it is out of my inbox and will only come back in at the set time. [35:20] If you’ve snoozed something more than twice, ask yourself, “Why am I not doing this? Does it really matter?” [36:06] A GANTT CHART is essentially a visual tracking system that lets you sort through your tasks and see what is upcoming. A GANTT chart is helpful because it allows you to see what is coming up and where you might have overlap. [38:10] Narrowing your goals, removing the clutter around them and then aligning your to dos with something like a GANTT chart can really help you. Splitting the big goal into its smallest components is one of the most critical steps [39:10] The BE Thoughtful notebooks will really help with this when they come out soon! FILL THIS OUT to get notified first. [39:20] Trello is awesome and it has totally changed the way I approach my days, my life, my clutter and my business. Take heed: there is a LOT of effort up front effort required to set it up properly so it does everything you want it to. It's very customizable, which is great, but it could quickly become a time suck if you aren’t ready for it.  [40:44] Remembering all the junk you have to do for routine tasks is keeping you stuck. Trello can help turn that into a process that reminds you of the next step so you don’t have to. [45:45] For those of you already signed up for the Brainy Mindset Course – I’ll be walking you through my boards and can create templates and things for you that are shared. It’s so valuable.

I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! This is the first behavioral economics podcast episode of 2019. Like so many of you, December is a time of reflection for me, and planning for the year ahead. I do like the “fresh start” that comes with a new year, new quarter, new month, new client or new project…but what happens when the newness wears off? Why is it so hard to keep our resolutions even when we have the best of intentions? That is what this episode is all about. I am going to dig into 5 ways we have all been approaching resolutions wrong, and give you the strategy you need to change that in 2019 once and for all. CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD! Show Notes [07:38] What do you think about resolutions? Personally, I have never been a big fan. [08:18] I have never enjoyed investing time in things that will fail. The subconscious brain makes 99% of your decisions. It makes those decisions based on proven rules of thumb which it has found to work over your lifetime or our genetic evolution as a species. [08:44] When you say you want to change something you can have the best of intentions, but there’s a reason resolutions are easier said than done. [09:28] Our brains are constantly looking for rewards and many of the things that we find rewarding are the things that we want to change. [10:32] TIME DISCOUNTING - I call this the “Monday effect.” Have you ever said you would start something “on Monday”? Then…in what seems like minutes instead of hours…the alarm goes off. Where did the motivation go? Why do you feel like a completely different person today than you did last night? [13:07] Maybe tomorrow is a better day to start. Then tomorrow never really comes either. This is time discounting. [13:31] Studies have found that when you talk or think about your future self…the brain lights up as if it were talking about a completely different person! [14:20] “Future you” is actually a different person than you. [14:37] The problem comes when I wake up on Monday morning and it is time to face the music. “Oh, you mean I need to do that stuff?” [15:02] Time discounting compounds with overconfidence and optimism to make a perfect storm against change. We overestimate how good we will be at something. We also underestimate how long it will take to accomplish something. And overestimate how our outcomes will be compared to other people's outcomes. [15:50] Making your future self “real” to you so that you see yourself in the commitment can make a difference. [16:21] People saved more for retirement if they were shown a picture of themselves that looked like they had aged 10 or 20 years. [16:55] 1. When you are making the commitments, ask yourself if the plan is realistic. Think about this in terms of yourself right now. [17:19] 2. When you feel like you want to hit the proverbial snooze button (and you will) remember the commitment you made and why it is important. [17:43] 3. When making your commitment, make it something you can turn into an “I don’t” statement. [18:20] ANTICIPATED REGRET/COUNTERFACTUAL THINKING [18:25] Anticipation of regret is a huge reason people delay taking an action. [19:11] One reason regret is so powerful is because of counterfactual thinking. This is easier known as “what if” or “if only” thinking. [20:28] Your brain will combine the best features of unselected (and heavily evaluated) items into a “super choice” (which doesn’t really exist) to make you feel even worse. In this example, your brain creates a super safe, awesomely stylish car that you “could have had if only you hadn’t picked the stupid good deal” car. [20:41] Our brains want the immediate gains and benefits of “now” instead of waiting for something that is good for us in the future. [21:32] To make your resolutions stick, watch out for anticipated regret and all the times you start to think about “what ifs” and “if only’s” that aren’t leading to your goal. [21:52] Before you pick your resolution, be sure it is something you really want and are willing to make a change for. Think about why it matters and come to terms with the things you are going to give up in order to get it. [22:33] WILLPOWER (BATTERY VERSUS SNOWBALL) [22:40] There has been debate over the years as to how willpower and self control are created and maintained over time. [23:05] New research out of Texas A&M University’s Human Behavior Lab has found that it is actually BOTH – a battery and a snowball. [26:59] When you try to commit to too much and come in too hard and too fast, you are setting yourself up to fail. [27:27] Setting yourself up with too many goals and tasks is also a recipe for failure. You can’t focus on so many things at once. [27:48] What is the one thing that will change your business next year, and how can you put all your effort toward meeting that one goal? [28:40] Advice from Warren Buffett: Write down your top 25 goals for your life and business. Circle the top 5 most important goals. What happens to 6-25? They become your “avoid at all costs” list. [30:30] Not having a clear focus and narrowing down your purpose is why we lack self-control and have a hard time making changes. [31:18] You have to learn to say no. You need to make sacrifices. It will be hard, but it will be worth it if you pick the right things to focus on. [31:29] SMALL STEPS AND NUDGES [31:44] You only get to move one step at a time. All change – from weight loss to massive business success – comes one small step at a time. [32:06] If you make your list of 25 and narrow it down to a top 5, I am telling you to bring that down to a top 1 to 3 MAX for your resolution or big business goal for 2019. [35:42] You will not have a flawless path, there is trial and error. You may expect a snowball and get a battery. [36:10] Expecting error (part of Richard Thaler’s acronym NUDGES) is why the car dings at you when you forget to put on your seatbelt. [36:41] Make a list of all the spots where you might be likely to slip for those top three goals you have set – your 2019 resolutions. [37:54] If you have a resolution around more effective networking, set goals before you go for how many connections you are going to make - and schedule time in advance to follow up. [38:20] BE THOUGHTFUL [38:47] If you focus on something, and everyone else knows it is important to you, if it is the thing you live and breathe and are 100% of the time, you will move forward. [39:30] You need to limit the focus and think about the small steps you can take to BE thoughtful about this one thing (or three things). [41:06] How can you help your customers have more realistic goals they can achieve and feel good about? [41:51] Does your lead magnet speak to these goals people will focus on and give them an immediate win? Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.
