In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, host Teresa McCloy dives into the valuable insights offered by Michael Gerber's book, "The E-Myth Revisited." She reviews the book's significance in helping individuals (especially those in the coaching profession) understand the critical factors that contribute to the success or failure of businesses. There is a common misconception that expertise in a particular skill automatically equates to effective business management. Teresa introduces the three pivotal roles every business owner should embrace: the Entrepreneur, the Manager, and the Technician. "The E-Myth Revisited" highlights the importance of balancing these roles within a coaching business. The Entrepreneur, characterized by visionary thinking and future-oriented planning, sets the direction and possibilities for the business. The Manager, on the other hand, focuses on creating systems and processes, often resisting change to maintain stability. Finally, the Technician thrives in the present, engaging directly with clients. Teresa breaks down the ideal time allocation for each role, offering practical guidance for coaches looking to effectively manage their businesses. She also introduces the concept of the REALIFE Process's 90-day reset approach, emphasizing the need for visioning and planning to ensure long-term success. Furthermore, Teresa underscores the necessity for coaches to embrace all facets of their business, not solely focusing on client interaction. She invites listeners to explore the upcoming REALIFE Process coach certification program, highlighting the value of joining a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to personal and professional growth. The episode concludes with a reminder that building a coaching business takes dedication and effort but ultimately leads to fulfilling work that aligns with one's values and goals. Teresa provides a glimpse of the exciting developments on the horizon for the podcast and the REALIFE Process community in the upcoming fall season.

TIL 165 : Influential Books by Association of Certified Biblical Counselors

On March 24, 1965, Albert Podell embarked on a 581-day, 42,000-mile, adventure-packed expedition by 4×4 across 30 countries that set the record for the longest auto journey ever made around the world. During the next 50 years Podell visited every one of the rest of its 196 countries. Albert Podell has a B.A. in government from Cornell, was a graduate fellow in international relations at the University of Chicago, holds a J.D. from NYU School of Law, and has had successful careers as a magazine editor, director of photography, advertising-agency creative director, and trial attorney. He has written 300 magazine articles and wrote the adventure classic, Who Needs A Road. Favorite Success Quote “You only live once so grab as much gusto as you can. “ Key Points 1. Life is Fleeting Live it Full Life is precious and short. We all live like life will last forever without realizing its fleeting nature. Embrace the now and live life like you will never live it again. 2. People are Generally the Same Many first worlders ignorantly assume that the rest of the world is vastly different from us. We assume that they are all extremists and crazies and that anywhere beyond the first world is the no mans land. What we fail to realize is that humans are largely the same across all cultures. We all want to live long and prosperous lives. We all want to raise our children to the best of our abilities, we all want as much health, wealth, love and happiness as we can fill into our days. When we open our mind to the similarities that cross all cultural boundaries, we are able to interact much more deeply and intimately with people who are seemingly dissimilar. 3. You Can Live on Less Than You Think In America, the idea of living with less is a foreign concept. We assume that to survive we need to be making hundreds of dollars a day and filling our lives full of possessions and cheap thrills. But in the end, we are left with crap we didn't need and shallow, base level experiences. If we open our minds to the idea of embracing minimalism and living with less, then we open our lives to a whole new level of fulfillment. When life becomes about seizing every moment enjoying every second over accumulating more stuff, we are able to live lives of true abundance and joy. 4. Money and Time are not an Impediment to Travel If you are creative enough, adaptable enough, and tough enough.  You can travel the world on little to no money fairly easily. From staying with locals to camping to hostels, there are a number of ways that you can travel without breaking the bank. One of the best ways to get started is by looking into work exchanges such as WWOOF or Help Ex where you work in exchange for room and board. Influential Books 1. The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss 2. How to Travel the World on $50 a Day by Matt Kepnes 3. Vagabonding by Rolf Potts
