A $200,000 mindset shift (May 7, 2024)
This is a mindset tweak I learned from a life coach who charges $200,000 a year for his coaching (per client) 🤯
By the way, he requires his clients to travel to him to work together ✈️
It has helped me progress toward my outrageous goal of recording 40 YouTube videos this year that will help parents, educators and students enhance their executive function skills. 📈
If you are a parent or educator, try asking these questions to your student and see what happens.
What is the $200,000 mindset shift?
Instead of asking WHAT you need to DO to accomplish your goal.
Ask yourself, WHO do I need to BE to accomplish the goal? Do you need to be...
Focused?
Resilient?
Committed?
Strategic?
Here is why this works 🛠️
When life happens and you miss one of those self-imposed deadlines, instead of giving up, you can re-focus and ask yourself the following questions.
Who am I being?
Who do I want to be?
Then, instead of feeling guilt for missing a deadline, you can respond to the moment, and make lemonade from lemons 🍋
The bottom line
Every moment is an opportunity to align yourself 🧘♂️ with your core values and act from that operating system (not the reactive guilt of missing a to-do)
At the end of the day (and life), it’s less about WHAT you’re doing and more about WHO you’re being.
I'm choosing resilient, loving, and flexible 💛
WHO are you going to be today?
