You have to be really great at one thing in order to be wildly successful. But if you're bad at everything else, you'll have to fill in those gaps. You're going to get a lot more clarity in life and business when you work on filling in those gaps. You can collaborate with or higher someone to compensate for what you're not good at. You don't have to be great at everything. Accept that.Night Cruising (loopable) by chilledmusicLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/9114-night-cruising-loopable-License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

Is there something else you're supposed to be doing? Only ask yourself this once. If you're not supposed to be doing something else, then focus on what's in front of you.

You know when you work best, but you might be working inefficiently due to your habits or work schedule. Why not work when your greatness tells you when it's time to do the thing. Whatever your instinct is, work with it! It's okay! You may not live to your highest level of greatness if you're not working when you work best.

The universe is going to give you so many opportunities, but these are not gifts. Opportunities come at a cost, though. You have to recognize and capitalize on these opportunities. They also come disguised as challenges. And they are going to be challenging whether you accept the opportunity in front of you or not. So take advantage of the opportunity the universe has presented to you.

The worst thing that ever happened to you… Is it really? Or did it end up being the best thing to ever happen? The city of Chicago has a nice, grid-like layout, but that wouldn't have happened if the city hadn't burned down in the 19th century. Oftentimes, things we deem to be negative end up being some of the best things to happen to us. Don't trap yourself in a mediocre condition. Give up the fear of letting go and realize that you can always find more.Masters Of War by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/9215-masters-of-warLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

An awesome superpower to have would be the power to create context. Well, guess what? You've got that superpower. You can look at any event and guess that it's going to be good or bad.

Your mindset as the thing happens is what matters.Driving to the Night by Frank SchröterLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/8085-driving-to-the-nightLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

Do it. Stop worrying about it, and just do it. Put it out there. Take the chance and see how it's received. Put your greatness out there and learn from it. It doesn't have to be perfect. If you try to perfect it before you put it out there, you're just going to get older. Your community will tell you what they think, so you can improve as you go.Let's Workout Hard! by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/7475-let-s-workout-hard-License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

What happened last time you were upset with someone? What upset you? Knowing what upset you is helpful. Usually the thing that most upsets us about others is what upsets us most about ourselves. If you're pointing a finger at someone, you should look in the mirror and point it at yourself as well. Save yourself some trouble by taking a look at yourself first.The Road To Freedom by Claus AppelLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/8949-the-road-to-freedomLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

Being offended can be expensive. Being offended is also a choice. And of course there are people that you don't want in your network.

You can only control so much in your life. If you try to control too many things, you're going to be unhappy. Sometimes details don't matter. You don't always have to follow the plan.

What makes sense for you makes sense for you. When you get advice, the advice you get makes sense for the person giving it. But everyone has their own experiences.

Follow what you're meant to do, not what someone else tells you to do, and you'll find the stability and reliability you're looking for.Funky Corporation by chilledmusicLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/8072-funky-corporationLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

You can make excuses. Or you can overcome the obstacles holding you back. If you embrace those excuses, you're going to turn it into an identity. It becomes your life. Don't let your obstacles define you. Choose to overcome your obstacles and become who you want to be, instead of the life your excuses give you.Cinematic Emotional Inspiring by WinnieTheMoogLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5408-cinematic-emotional-inspiringLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Mentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu

How dare you not follow your calling? A calling is given to you, not something you choose. Your calling is to be used to make the world a better place.

What happens when you share ideas with your friends? Do they tell you to dial it back, or are they asking how they can help? You don't want “yes men,” as you need people to challenge you, but you don't need people to say it isn't possible. If your friends aren't supporting you, you don't have to get rid of them, but you need to get new friends; friends who will support you and your ideas.Slow Walk Into The Sunset by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/8878-slow-walk-into-the-sunsetLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMentioned in this episode:New Book: The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and GratitudeGet your copy of Michael Whitehouse's new book The View From The Deck: Thoughts on Values, Vision, and Gratitude now. https://amzn.to/4a6w0tu
