Gálatas 6:9¿Conoces la regla de los dos minutos? James Clear, autor del superventas Hábitos atómicos, la expresa de la siguiente manera. cuando empiezas un nuevo hábito, no debe tomarte más de dos minutos». ¿Qué significa esto? Significa que si deseas desarrollar un nuevo hábito, como leer la Biblia, orar o hacer ejercicio, es recomendable comenzar con una actividad sencilla que no te lleve más de dos minutos.Al leer la regla de los dos minutos, es posible que te cuestiones: «¿Dos minutos? ¿No es esto muy poco? ¿Debería conformarme con el mínimo esfuerzo?». En realidad, no se trata de conformarse con el mínimo esfuerzo, sino de utilizarlo como punto de partida. Esta regla tiene el propósito de ayudarte a superar la resistencia inicial al cambio y establecer una base sólida para desarrollar hábitos más significativos en el futuro. El objetivo es que la tarea sea tan fácil de realizar que no tengas excusas para no hacerla. Pero una vez que el hábito se haya afianzado, puedes ir aumentando la intensidad y la duración de la actividad. Por ejemplo, puedes pasar de leer un versículo a leer un capítulo, de orar dos minutos a orar quince, de caminar una cuadra a correr cinco kilómetros y hacer flexiones.La clave consiste en ser constantes y perseverar. Lo más importante no es cuánto hagas cada día, sino cuántos días lo hagas. Uno de los mejores hábitos que podemos cultivar es el de hacer el bien a los demás. Refiriéndose a este hábito, Pablo aplica la misma regla de James Clear: «No debemos cansarnos de hacer el bien; porque si no nos desanimamos, a su debido tiempo cosecharemos» (Gálatas 6:9). El profeta Isaías dice que «si te das a ti mismo en servicio del hambriento, si ayudas al afligido en su necesidad, tu luz brillará en la oscuridad, tus sombras se convertirán en luz de mediodía» (Isaías 58: 10).Hoy es un buen día para que seamos la luz del mundo. Basta con emplear tan solo dos minutos de tu tiempo. Con el paso del tiempo cosecharás los frutos de tu perseverancia.

ข้อความโพสต์จาก James Clear ได้เขียนข้อความไว้ว่า "ทุกช่วงเวลาเราใช้ไปกับการพูดถึงเรือนร่าง นินทาเกี่ยวกับความสัมพันธ์ และวิจารณ์ธุรกิจของคนอื่น แต่ให้ลองจับจ้องไปที่กระดาษของร่างกายเรา ฟูมฟักความสัมพันธ์ของตนเอง และพัฒนาธุรกิจที่ได้สร้างมา แล้วเราทุกคนจะมีพัฒนาการอย่างหาที่สุดมิได้" - เมื่อเราใช้เวลาไปกับอะไร เราก็จะได้รับสิ่งนั้นอย่างสิ่งที่เราใช้เวลาไป - จงเลือกสรร เฟ้นหา เรื่องราวที่เราต้องการให้มันดียิ่งขึ้น โดยที่ต้องใช้สติในการเลือกเสมอ - เราพูดถึงเรือนร่างคนอื่นได้ นินทาคนอื่นได้ และวิจารณ์ธุรกิจของคนอื่นได้ แต่เราต้องอย่าลืมสอบทานตัวเองด้วย - ไม่ใช่เราเอาแต่พูดถึงสิ่งภายนอกจนหลงลืมตัวเอง แต่เราก็ต้องพินิจพิจารณาตนเองด้วยตลอดเวลาทั้งชีวิต - ทั้งนี้ ชีวิตไม่มีสูตรสำเร็จ เราจะต้องรู้จักความฉลาดทางอารมณ์เอาไว้ ไม่เช่นนั้นมันจะกลายเป็นปัญหาตามมา

In this episode, Keith Kalfas shares transformative insights on mastering financial systems based on his personal experiences. Highlighting the importance of having robust systems in place, he discusses James Clear's philosophy on systems over standards and introduces the MVSA (Minimum Viable System). Keith provides a detailed breakdown of the 30% and 50% rules for managing finances and achieving a 50% gross profit margin. He emphasizes the routine of 'Friday Finances' and how it brought order to his financial chaos. Additionally, Keith invites listeners to join his Untrapped Alliance group for deeper learning and access to successful business strategies, featuring contributions from financial experts like Dan Plata. Throughout, he underscores the significance of habit-building and consistent system application for financial stability.     "You already have systems—some of them just suck. But once you become aware of that, you can fix them. That's when everything starts to change." – Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: Introduction to Systems and Integrity Understanding and Implementing Systems The Life-Changing Friday Finances System The 30% Rule for Taxes The 50% Gross Profit Margin Rule The Untrapped Alliance Invitation Testimonials and Success Stories Key Takeaways Systems Save You—Even From Yourself James Clear's quote sets the tone: "You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems." Keith drives home the point that even with ADHD or chaos in life, simple, repeatable systems create stability. His Minimum Viable System (MVSA) concept proves that even imperfect systems beat no systems—because consistency wins.   The 30% and 50% Rules Are Game Changers for Small Biz Finances 30% Rule: Set aside 30% of your gross income (yes, even if it stings!) for taxes in a separate savings account. This protects you from tax season panic and builds discipline fast. 50% Rule: Build every job estimate to hit at least a 50% Gross Profit Margin. That means if it costs $1,000 to do the job, quote $2,000. This ensures your business isn't just busy—it's profitable.   Your Financial Habits Shape Your Freedom Keith's “Friday Finances” ritual is a simple but powerful weekly system: review all accounts, reconcile records, check in with your bookkeeper, and make sure every dollar has a job. Over time, this habit pulled him out of financial chaos and into clarity—with 17 bank accounts now dialed in like a boss.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:

Matt Dixon: The Activator Advantage Matt Dixon is Founding Partner of DCM Insights, a global training and advisory firm, and a leading expert in business development and client experience. His first book The Challenger Sale was a #1 Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestseller, and translated in a dozen languages. His newest book with colleagues Rory Channer, Karen Freeman, and Ted McKenna is The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently*. At lot of us know the traits of the kind of person who's successful at attracting new business. What many of us don't know, is that what's working today is actually different than what we traditionally think. In this conversation, Matt and I a take a detailed look at the professionals who are landing the most new business – and what they're doing that works. Key Points The loyalty that once existed between professionals and their clients has changed substantially in recent years. A type of professional called an activator represents the highest performance in business development. Activators assume their best clients will leave at some point and are consistently working to build a pipeline of opportunities. Many professionals tend to protect client relationships. In contrast, activators actively bring colleagues into these relationships. Activators don't wait for inquiries. They meet opportunities happen by building relationships before paid work begins. Activators go way past birthdays and factual knowledge about others. They discover what's important to their clients as individuals. Activators go way past “as is” content and work hard to thoughtfully connect it to a prospect or client's situation.

2025.05.30 Resumen Cuatro Leyes para Romper los Malos HábitosSé tu consejero, no tu carcelero Esta semana estoy compartiendo contigo Cuatro Leyes para Romper Malos Hábitos, sacadas del Libro “Hábitos Atómicos”, escrito por James Clear. Busca Cápsulas Gerenciales en tu plataforma de podcast favorita, y descubre las cuatro leyes, y un consejo importante cuando intentas cambiar malos hábitos.#cápsulasgerenciales #capsulasgerenciales #desarrollopersonalholistico #mejorcadadia #inspiracionyexito

Apologies, recording started late due to technical issues. Atomic Habits by James Clear was discussed in relation to the spiritual path by Ayya Karunika at the book club on Saturday, 24th May 2025. Ayya explored how the concept of the “aggregation of marginal gains” (p. 13) can be used to enhance our daily practice. She offered a brief yet insightful overview of the four laws of behavior change (pp. 43–55), showing how they can support the cultivation of wholesome habits while helping us abandon unwholesome ones. She also introduced practical strategies such as habit stacking (pp. 72–79) as effective methods for integrating the Buddha's teachings into daily routine. In addition, she explained in detail how to apply the noble eightfold path in daily life and discussed the importance of focusing on systems rather than goals (pp. 23–28) in order to achieve better results in meditation and to strengthen overall progress on the spiritual path. Bhikkhuni Ayya Kārunikā is currently the senior resident monastic at Santi Forest Monastery, NSW, Australia and the spiritual director for New Zealand Bhikkhuni Sangha Trust, Hamilton. She has been in monastic life for over 14 years and she received her full ordination as a bhikkhunī in 2014 at Dhammasara Nuns monastery in Western Australia where she lived and trained for over a decade with Ajahn Hāsapaññā. She has been a student of Ajahn Brahm and Ajahn Brahmali for over 2 decades. Ayya Kārunikā is able to articulate the Buddhist teachings in a way that is practical and comprehensible to people of all ages and has experience in conducting retreats for both adults and youth. While she has a PhD in Microbiology and worked as a scientist, she has also been the building project manager for the construction of the Dhammasara Nuns Monastery main building complex and has worked with many volunteers over the years. Ayya Kārunikā was born in Sri Lanka but has been living and working in Australia for over 2 decades. She has a passion to share her experience and knowledge and loves working with people and also doing creative projects. She is dedicated to supporting the growth of Bhikkhunis around the world and is currently involved in projects to support the establishment of places for Bhikkhunis in Theravada forest tradition in Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Sri Lanka.  Please visit the Santi Forest Youtube Channel and Santi Forest Monastery website Support us on https://ko-fi.com/thebuddhistsocietyofwa BSWA teachings are available: BSWA Teachings BSWA Podcast Channel BSWA DeeperDhamma Podbean Channel BSWA YouTube

She is a Market Development Executive at Lloyd's and the former Chicago RIMS Chapter Rising Risk Professional Committee President. For her many achievements, she was named RIMS Rising Star for 2025. [3:48] If you were at RISKWORLD 2025, you were lucky enough to see her accept the award onstage. We're going to talk all about her contributions to the risk profession during her 9-to-5 and beyond and delve into what is a pivotal moment in her career. [4:04] Everyone listening, especially young risk professionals with big career decisions ahead of them, will get some fresh perspective. [4:14] Interview! Megan Smalter, welcome to RIMScast! [4:35] Megan Smalter talks about the honor of receiving the RIMS Rising Start Award with her entire team present as well as her family. It was a super special moment for her. [5:01] Megan grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, so she says she's from Illinois. She lived in downtown Chicago for five years before relocating. [6:04] The awards ceremonies were scattered throughout the RISKWORLD 2025 week. Megan's award was presented right before the triple threat of keynotes. Megan and her parents enjoyed the keynotes. [6:50] Megan went from being a private company management liability underwriter at CNA Insurance in Chicago to joining Lloyd's as a Market Development Executive for the Americas and relocated to New York City in December. [7:22] Megan describes changing jobs and moving. It's been interesting. She went from being established in an insurance company where she knew everyone and knew her role to starting over, new and fresh. It's exciting, being in a new environment and company. [7:54] Megan says it comes with growing pains. Learning the tasks, trying to see the fun and excitement in them, and settling down in a new region has been super interesting and a great learning curve. [8:25] Megan was previously in the retail space. Now having exposure to the E&S wholesale world and more of the international space has been fascinating. It's a direction she wants to take her career, which inspired her to take this new role. It's been gratifying so far. [9:02] Megan says it has been bittersweet, leaving the Chicago RIMS Chapter. She first got involved as a student at the Katie School of Insurance at Illinois State. There, she met one of her greatest mentors, Theresa Severson. They've stayed in touch over the years. [9:29] After being involved as a student, she joined Chicago RIMS as a Membership Committee member and became Education Chair, then Vice President, and then President, right before she moved. There's a lot to say goodbye to. Starting over after being deeply involved is a switch. [9:58] Megan's teammates joked that she should carry the award around the RISKWORLD conference the entire time. [10:34] Megan believes the risk profession allows for flexibility to adapt. Everyone in the industry and at Lloyd's is keen to help and provide their experience. It's been a great way for Megan to learn about a new company culture and a new segment of the industry. [11:08] Justin notes that most people are not going to have one job for their entire career, although he knows one person at RIMS who has been there since 1981 and somebody at Spencer who goes back even further. [11:29] Justin adds that risk is a profession where there is such a camaraderie among the professionals that they will give you time to adapt. They will extend that olive branch. [11:49] Megan thinks it's important to give yourself grace and allow yourself to recognize that you're not going to know everything on the first day. You may jump into something new and think “I've got this,” but things like that take time. Give yourself grace. [12:25] At the RIMS Chicago Chapter, the energy in the group drove Megan to get involved and come up the ranks. At the start, event attendance was low. One successful event was the Summer Mixer with the Young Risk Professionals group and the Insurance Associates group. [13:18] There were over 250 folks who attended. Seeing the demand of young professionals to network and get together on an afternoon was an awesome experience. Megan is thankful she got to be part of it. [14:25] A big part of the Chicago RIMS initiative was to have separate membership events, education events, and social events. It's easy to get people to come to social events but education events can be tougher. They tried to keep them interesting. [14:42] One educational event Megan found valuable was the MBA Information Night with a panel of four. Two represented RM&I MBA programs; two were alumni of RM&I MBA programs. To hear from them and get their experiences and advice about continuing education was great. [15:15] They hosted Negotiation Workshops and Book Clubs. One book was Atomic Habits by James Clear. Megan has kept a few key takeaways from that in her day-to-day routine. They do a variety of events through RRP. It's nice to see the support of that with the members. [15:54] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?”. [15:59] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. [16:10] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [16:21] About the Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [16:38] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [16:59] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [17:09] Let's Return to Our Conversation with RIMS 2025 Rising Star, Megan Smalter!  [17:18] As a Market Development Executive at Lloyd's, Megan engages with key trading partners, whether retail or wholesale brokers in the U.S., making sure that they know how to access Lloyd's in the London market. [17:51] Megan engages with insurance carriers who are interested in coming onto the Lloyd's platform, managing agents, excess lines associations in different states, and universities (one of Megan's favorite aspects of her role). [18:11] Since Megan was a student who studied risk management and insurance, she loves helping out with the next generation and trying to pull talent into the risk field. [18:19] Megan also promotes the Lloyd's Lab and helps with the Lloyd's Boot Camp Programs in Chicago and San Diego. She has a multi-faceted role and gets to touch a lot of aspects of Lloyd's which has been interesting. [18:45] Megan is part of a team representing the Americas, with people in Toronto, Canada, Miami, Florida, and Brazil. [19:10] Justin and Megan spoke in April for the article in the Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine, which may be out now. Megan mentioned that she is a calculated risk-taker. [19:38] Having a background in underwriting has helped Megan to think of questions to ask whenever a different situation or scenario has been proposed. She walks through the different exposures and thinks through things that the Average Joe probably wouldn't. [20:03] Megan says, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. Moving to Lloyd's in New York is an example of a high-risk, high-reward scenario that worked for Megan. She had only been to New York City once, for a conference. [20:30] When Megan looked for an apartment, she signed, sight-unseen, after a video call with the REALTOR® and a search of the area on Google Maps. She took a leap of faith and hoped for the best, but expected for the worst. It turned out in her favor. It's the biggest risk she has taken. [20:58] Megan's career goal for now is locking into Lloyd's and getting to know the nitty-gritty of the “Lloyd's-isms.” Learning the niche aspects of what Lloyd's is, the capital structure, and all the different facets of what Lloyd's has to offer to articulate that to its trading partners. [21:37] Megan is a success story, dating back to the Risk Manager on Campus program, which is how she got hooked. Not every school has a Risk Manager on Campus program.  [21:53] Megan advises young students who are considering the risk management and insurance industry, first to ask questions and ask for introductions. If there's someone who has a role that you're interested in, reach out. Everyone in the industry Megan has interacted with is so nice. [22:30] Especially get to know folks who do jobs outside of what you're considering. If you have an internship in property, get to know the liability folks and the cyber folks, the claims adjusters, and anyone else in the company, and learn what they do. [22:49] The career path opportunities are what drew Megan to the risk management field and how you can always pivot into a different segment of the industry. That keeps it exciting. [23:07] Special thanks again to RIMS 2025 Rising Star, Megan Smalter. You can read more about her in our RIMS RISKWORLD Show Daily Coverage. A link is on this page.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner: A dedicated leader in functional medicine, Dr. Chad Woolner champions innovative approaches to healthcare through his work with "Simplified Functional Medicine." As a seasoned practitioner, he explores unique strategies that integrate simple lifestyle habits for profound health benefits. Dr. Andrew Wells: Partnering with Dr. Woolner, Dr. Andrew Wells brings a wealth of experience in functional medicine. His focus on effective habit change empowers patients to revamp their health through manageable and impactful routines, making him an influential figure in this evolving healthcare landscape. Episode Summary: In this episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells unveil the concept of "invisible routines" as pivotal strategies for sustainable lifestyle changes. Often overlooked by practitioners, these routines act as subtle yet powerful drivers of long-term health improvements by reshaping habits and altering identities. The episode zeroes in on simple morning and evening routines that can significantly enhance sleep, dietary habits, exercise consistency, and stress management—all without burdening patients with overwhelming changes. By introducing "Trojan horse strategies," Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells emphasize a unique approach to habit formation that prioritizes simplicity and effectiveness. With insights from James Clear's "Atomic Habits," they discuss how identity and habits form a continuous loop of influence. They explore how practitioners can help patients break free from entrenched identities through structured routines. These adaptable methods aim to imbue patients with a strong sense of control over their health outcomes, thereby fostering a proactive, internal locus of control. Simplified Functional Medicine stands as a testament to how integrative and manageable lifestyle interventions can transform patient care. Key Takeaways: Invisible Routines: Simple, structured morning and evening routines can significantly improve patients' health by quietly altering habits and reinforcing new identities. Trojan Horse Strategies: Approachable lifestyle changes presented as 'challenges' or 'games' make adopting new habits less daunting and more engaging for patients. Locus of Control: Patients gain an internal locus of control as they realize their capability to consciously influence their physiological state through deliberate actions. Gamification and Simplicity: Ensuring the routines are easy, enjoyable, and trackable is crucial to sustaining patient engagement and compliance. Empowering Practitioners: These methodologies elevate practitioners' capabilities to effectively facilitate long-lasting lifestyle changes in their patients. Notable Quotes: "If you can get someone to become someone different, their health issues will go away. That's a promise." – Dr. Andrew Wells "Identity is what reinforces habits, and habits reinforce identity. There's this infinite loop that we see back and forth." – Dr. Chad Woolner "Think of the actual story of the Trojan horse. You have to package it as something that's beneficial to the person receiving it." – Dr. Andrew Wells "You're training your brain to think and realize that you have control and you can affect the way your body feels and functions." – Dr. Andrew Wells "What that starts to do, in a simple and very, very small way, it starts to start cueing and priming the mind… to establish a new sense of identity." – Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Simplified Functional Medicine James Clear's "Atomic Habits" (referenced conceptually) HeartMath biofeedback device (mentioned as a resource for patient routines) Listeners are encouraged to dive into the full episode to explore these thought-provoking insights in detail. Stay tuned for more engaging content from the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, where innovative healthcare approaches are always on the agenda.

5 Tiny Leadership Habits You Can Do in Under 5 Minutes for Massive ResultsManagement is complex, but it doesn't need to be overwhelming.If you have read James Clear's book Atomic Habits, you know that small actions can lead to massive results.A recent study found that 58% of employees trust a stranger more than their boss. Surprising, right? But what if changing that perception took less than 5 minutes a day?The truth is that great leaders aren't made from grand promises or speeches. They're built through consistent, tiny habits that strengthen trust, communication, and connection day in and day out.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I'll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit?  And when I told him - he's like your time is worth more- that's not big enough - and I'm like totally - but I haven't even gotten started.  He's like but you have sales-  I was like I know, but I'm in the pre-game like I haven't even gotten started.  I'm building the skills and knowledge in the industry to go out and hit a home run.  In the process of explaining this to him, I unlocked SUCH a powerful frame for myself that I think will really help you too.  This frame is genius for anything you've tried at but haven't hit out of the park yet.  In any bucket of your life. Record strong podcast episodes, make sales in your Etsy or Amazon business, lose weight, build stronger relationships with girlfriends- it can be applied to just about anything.  It's the UNLOCK to stop judging yourself for taking too long or not getting there yet or for the mistakes you made along the way.  None of what happens in the past defines how successful you will be going forward - it was all prep work for the BIG move that's about to come.   Let's get into it!!  Reframing Your Past:    •    How to shift your mindset to see everything you've done up until now as preparation, not failure.    •    Embrace your “warm-up reps” as necessary for your future greatness.    •    The power of process over perfection—show up with a growth mindset, not an outcome obsession.    •    Mistakes and slow starts don't disqualify you—they qualify you. Quote: “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear ⸻ 2. The Power of the Pregame Frame in Business:    •    Why launching something small, testing, and learning the landscape is one of the most strategic things you can do.    •    Building muscle in the industry, even if the early results don't look big yet.    •    Your pregame is your research lab—learn fast, fail small, adjust boldly. Quote: “Volume negates luck.” — Alex Hormozi ⸻ 3. Stop Judging the Timeline:    •    You're not late—you're just in the warm-up.    •    The world teaches speed, but mastery comes from depth and consistency.    •    Let go of artificial timelines and embrace your unique runway. Quote: “You can't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.” — Mel Robbins ⸻ 4. Applying the Frame to Different Life Buckets:    •    Health: Every workout you've done, even sporadically, is a win. Your future self will use those reps.    •    Relationships: Conversations that didn't go well taught you what you want in a friendship or partnership.    •    Parenting: The imperfect moments were actually preparation for the present version of you.    •    Creative Work: Podcasts, posts, or projects that felt “meh” were the training ground for your voice. Quote: “Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.” — John C. Maxwell ⸻ 5. The Real Work Begins When You Decide to Stop Judging Yourself:    •    Self-compassion is your rocket fuel.    •    You're not behind—you're building traction.    •    “I haven't even gotten started” becomes your permission slip to go bigger. Quote: “Don't attach your identity to the version of you that had to survive.” — Jay Shetty ⸻ 6. Invite Your Listeners to Do This:    •    Write down a list of things you've “started but not mastered.” Then re-label them as “Pregame Practice.”    •    Celebrate what you've learned—not just what you earned.    •    Choose one area to now move into game time with fresh energy. Take the time to be kind to yourself for anything big you are working towards and know that you are just warming up baby, the best is yet to come!!  Check out Lindsay's Weekly Planning System here:  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem
