Tim Ferriss: If I had more money-is lazy. Figure it out!

Tim Ferriss: If I had more money-is lazy. Figure it out! Life Coach

Yesterday, I heard a great piece of advice. I know it sounds blunt but… “Figure it out.” You have learned so much in your life, but maybe you have forgotten some.

How does this relate to Tim Ferriss’ quote about the excuse of more money is lazy? More on that later

Remember…

Try the exercise at the end to rediscover ways you may have forgotten to have your needs met.

Doc Warren with you…

When you were little, you learned to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and get your needs met. And you didn’t just spend more money, did you?

The same goes for rediscovering needs that you’ve forgotten. The New Rich know continually rediscovering needs that they’ve forgotten in meeting their own needs for experiencing optimal lifestyles. Asking for What You Need is Entrepreneurial Success Skill #5.

Mentoring dozens of small business owners here in Hong Kong, I found these success skills vital in their success. Those who lacked these skills, and who did not develop them, continued to struggle. Those who developed these skills have become the New Rich, enjoying Optimal Lifestyles.

Whatever barriers you come across, know we’re in the Information Age. Google it, YouTube it, or course (free is a good start) on it, stumble your way through it, in short… Figure it out.

Just make sure you’re in movement as you do it. Figure it out ALONG the way… That’s the greatest “hack” I know of that I can give you today! Please don’t say, “If only I had more money.”

In part, it’s laziness. “If only I had more money” is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment—now and not later. Tim Ferriss

The link above will take you to a GREAT PLAN… Yet, today’s note still applies. Many will keep searching year after year for a “hack” that’ll make them filthy rich and happy overnight. They’ll search for no obstacles, no challenges.

And it’ll never happen because they are looking at things wrong… How soon would you like to start having fun and getting real results with us, by using LEVERAGE?

Here’s to dynamic duos: figure it out and rediscovering needs.

In your corner.

All the Best,

PS As this

Exercise #8. Rediscovering forgotten needs. Look at the list and circle at least three areas where you experienced joy in the past when you were young but have not engaged in for a while:

Your favorite food.
Your favorite outdoor activity.
Your favorite hobby.
Your favorite activity with friends.
Your favorite movie.
Your favorite season.
Your favorite physical activity.
Your favorite location for holiday vacation.
Your favorite others __________, __________, __________, __________.

Pick one or two of these and make a commitment to yourself to create a few moments of optimal engagement in that activity THIS WEEK.

(As before, you are probably looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” but you will get used to it. Your life, family, and business depend on it.)

Remember: In part, it’s laziness. “If only I had more money” is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment—now and not later. Tim Ferriss

NOTE: If you don’t learn to create ways to continue to get your needs met, you may soon join the 80% of small businesses that fail within the first 5 years!

PS Next time you will take the a step from following a process create ways to meet needs to find needs that you’ve forgotten. If you would like more skill development to prevent giving up your own needs, email me at drwarren@cict.co.

Hope this helps.

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.
