I was having a conversation with an organizer who organizes high-level events for entrepreneurs and business people. Now, this is an invite-only event on top of a mountain and you can guess kind of what this event is like. Now, I was very honored to be considered and to be recommended to be an invitee to this event. And during the conversation which is essentially an interview to see if you can get accepted, so to speak, but during the conversation, I asked him his story. I want to know what made him tick and why he started these events.
Hey, how are you doing today? What most people will respond is, “I’m doing okay,” or “I’m doing good.” I’m here to tell you, as the Author of Your Own Story, good is the enemy of great. Why? Well, you already know that your physiology affects the way you do things, right? If you’re slumped over, you’re down, it makes you depressed. They’ve done studies that just by putting your shoulders back and smiling for over 30 days can clear depression. Now, how crazy is that? Of course, yeah, you can take drugs, and there are all kinds of things to cure clinical depression, but they did a study, just your body’s physiology.
Now, I’ve had a conversation with two different business owners over the past week, which brings me to this conversation with you on how to get rich. Now, both of these business owners had an idea. They’d seen people on social media advertising their marketplace, the way that they do it, right? And it was kind of that flashy tone, the Bentley, the nice house, the vacations, the stuff that all of us probably want.
Here I am along the beautiful river, and often times, if you’ve followed me on social media or got a chance to get to know me, you know this is exactly where my wife and I go to fill our cups. This is why we a lifestyle that allows us to travel. We’ve actually wrote this down many years ago, what kind of life do we really want? What are those areas that fill our cup, that really fill our soul? When we wrote these down, what came up was being by fresh water, being out in the mountains. And so we made that a reality.
When I go throughout my day, I often times do things differently. I deliberately walk different paths, I deliberately drive different routes to the same place, and the reason I do this is because years ago, in fact, maybe even a decade ago, I recall hearing someone speak and what they were talking about is how your brain functions; it functions with creativity. Often times as humans, we’re creatures of habit, even though we don’t know it, right?
Now, I had a conversation just yesterday with somebody, and the conversation went something like this, they said, “Doug, I just feel like I’m spinning my wheels. I’m not getting anywhere in my relationship, my business, or my health. What do you think man? What do you think I can do here?”
I had a great conversation with a coaching client of mine this morning. What came up was something that comes up often. Now it can come up in interpersonal relationships most often. That’s the idea of getting triggered. When you get triggered, or you get stressed, or you get anxious, and oftentimes this happens with people that we’re most close to because they know our buttons, and we let them in a little bit more.
Earlier this morning, I had a great day. I’ve actually ended up meeting my family later on in the morning, and they were having breakfast, and they were so kind that they ordered me a breakfast burrito. I’m not talking about any breakfast burrito, I’m talking about a delicious breakfast burrito with all the fixings. Yes, it was organic, and it had all this nutrients in it, but it was a breakfast burrito. Let’s not call it what it wasn’t.
Just earlier this week, I was talking to an entrepreneur on LinkedIn. They had sent me an inquiry asking about my coaching services. After further investigation, what really was coming into it was he was looking at a career change. Should I start a new business and leave the current company I’m in? Should I go study philosophy at the university? Should I take time off and travel?
I just got off a client call with a client of mine in the UK and we’re talking about 2017 versus where we started from, which was actually at the beginning February of 2017, to where he is today and where he is today in all areas of his life, not just his business, although that’s originally why he hired me.
