What’s more important than time, cash, & quality life? Personal Coach
DEFINITION: Giggers – those who have started their own Gig (or who want to start their own Gig for extra cash) to live the New Gig Economy Lifestyle.
With my personal coach and mentor clients, and in classes where I teach a How to Become a Life Coach Certification course, we learn how to focus attention to build healthy distinctions.
What does Tony Robbins say is more important than time, cash, & quality life? More later…
How do you rate? How are your distinctions?

Focus on freeing your attention not just freeing your time or making more money or being happy.
In my first book I wrote about three constraints in Leadership which are time (to do what you want), cash, and quality of life. Essentially, the way it goes for those who are able is:
- ↑time + ↑cash = ↑↑quality of life
- ↑time + ↓cash = ↓↑quality of life
- ↓time + ↑cash = ↓↑quality of life
- ↓time + ↓cash = ↓↓quality of life
Although I’ve been given awards and honors for publications, the following examples show something else. There is another factor that is more important than time, cash, and quality of life.
Please allow me to share.
If one has control over time and plenty of money, one has a good chance for a quality of life. But only to a point, as reported in March 2014, The Standard, Hong Kong newspaper. The author described research findings that showed more wealth wasn’t always better. Researchers found above a certain level, the more money people had the more unhappiness they reported.
Next, if one has control over time but little cash, there may or may not be quality of life. There are pockets of poor around the world where unhappiness abounds. Also, there are groups of indigenous peoples around the world who have plenty of time and little money, and a great deal of happiness.
Also, if one has little control over time and plenty of cash, again, there may or may not be quality of life. We can see several examples of people paying for support (outsourcing) that improves quality of life. Remember, here are many who have wealth but little control over their time who are unhappy.
Last, if one has little control over time and little cash, there is often an associated lower quality of life. We still hear horrific stories of sweatshops that work people for long hours and pay little. This system keeps the labor below the poverty level and in quite unhappy conditions.
What does Tony Robbins say is more important than time, cash, & quality life? Attention.
Let’s go back to Tony and remember our quality of life equal to our focus of attention.
If you focus your attention on (i.e. feeling, talking about, looking at, listening to, thinking of, etc.) good things, then your quality of life will feel pretty good. If you focus your attention on not so good things your quality of life will be… Well, you get the picture.
What does this have to do with your Gig?
Let me share my mentoring client Jim’s, comment. Jim said, “Warren, after I started using digital marketing tools, I suddenly started seeing so much more about my customers. All the guessing is gone because now I know know what my clan values. My attention is now free to ensure my time, effort, and cash, are lazer focused on building more value for my clan.”
Last week I had a new prospect consultation session. The prospect told me he didn’t think he needed mentoring because my eBook had everything he needed. I am honored my free eBook was so valuable, but it won’t help if he doesn’t focus his attention on using it.
It’s not knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know. Tony Robbins

Seeing Your Blind Spots. Exercise #7:
As a Gigger in the global Gig economy, what digital marketing tool could free your attention for your next step for your new Gig, or to raise your Gig to the next level?
Look at these examples where Giggers say they took steps free their attention to feel confident and build their Gig business and support their customer clans.
- I used automatic emails to get feedback and free my attention to see their needs
- I have an automated webinar to free my attention and hear my clan’s needs
- I started using Facebook Ads to help me free my attention to help my clan feel more value
Write 3 Gigger areas where you can see you could take steps free your attention and tell yourself how you improved to feel stronger to develop your Gig and your optimal lifestyle.

Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time but do try a new one every month) idea to apply this week:
- Write the area where you free your attention.
- List steps you see to free your attention to focus on you clan’s needs.
- Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (e.g. I will get an autoresponder this week.)
- Reward yourself after you have completed your step to build relationships.
Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.
If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.
It’s not knowing what to do, it’s doing what you know. Tony Robbins

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle
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.
All client info has been scrubbed of identifying information unless they have given me specific, written permission to quote them.
