Secrets of the millionaire mind? TRUST #EngagingScreenagers
Can be hard with busy schedules, I know!
Hi it’s Dr Warren again…
I have studied many millionaires and high-achievers over the years.
And a common success trait that the unsuccessful didn’t have?
TRUSTing themselves with delayed gratification—optimal-engagement.
Again, the high-achievers TRUST themselves.
Building Trust is Life Skill #1 according to World Life Skills Expert, Jill Raiguel.
Without trusting ourselves or trusting others we are stuck in our going no-where pattern.
It may seem small, yet it’s the small things, day in and day out that makes one successful.
The mistake is in looking for, and thinking it’s this one great big thing that we keep missing out on.
And here’s the thing with delayed gratification…
We’re all busy, right?
We work jobs.
We have families.
There’s chores to take care of around the house.
So it can be a hard decision to make.
I get that.
Do I make the time and work for 30 to 60 minutes a day on my family, my passion, my side business?
Delaying the instant gratification and convenience of sitting down and watching TV?
Or, do I cave in, yet another night, and get some immediate pleasure?
It’s just that usually the immediate pleasure is very brief, and not very fulfilling.
An expert in this area, Winifred Gallagher says, the payoff will be much greater if we decide to do the harder thing in the moment.
To pick up the guitar and learn a new song. To go exercise rather than plopping down on the couch.
To spend the time to build your loving family or build a new business on the side…
But, she says we have to summon the motivation to get over the hump of our initial inertia and focus.
Otherwise you may just settle for the temporary, instant gratification—junk-engagement.
Which is the equivalent of junk food.
So, there’s a cost of doing what we truly want to do, and a cost of not doing it and sticking with what seems more comfortable.
And it’s up to each of us to decide to TRUST for ourselves which path we will take on a day by day basis.
===> If you’re ready to commit and build a lifestyle friendly income on the side.
In your corner.
All the Best,
Warren Linger

Engagement background before eWorkbooks
As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)
After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.
But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.
With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.
I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)
When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)
I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.
eWorkbook development and success
I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.
Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions, curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.
My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)
Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)
Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.
Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
