A $200,000 mindset shift (May 7, 2024)
Updated: Jul 30
Want to share a product or service with over 6,000 parents and educators interested in executive functioning?
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?
Hope this helps 🤙🏻
P.S. If you want to work on executive function skills with your students, consider joining hundreds of other educators and parents who have completed my Semester Success Blueprint Course. In less than 2 hours, this comprehensive course will teach you and your student the system I developed to help hundreds of students learn how to manage school effectively and raise their self-awareness and engagement with school.
About Me
Hey! I'm Sean 👋
I'm a former public school special education teacher who realized that executive function skills are more important than knowing when George Washington crossed the Potomac.
Since then, I've made it my mission to teach anyone who will listen about how to develop these key life skills.
In 2020, I founded Executive Function Specialists to ensure all students with ADHD and Autism have access to high-quality online executive function coaching services. We offer online EF coaching and courses to help students and families.
Realizing I could only reach so many people through coaching, in 2021 I started the Executive Function Coaching Academy which trains schools, educators, and individuals to learn the key strategies to improve executive function skills for students.
In 2023, I co-founded of UpSkill Specialists, to provide neurodivergent adults with high-quality executive function coaching services.
When not pursuing my passions through work, I love spending time with my family, getting exercise, and growing my brain through reading. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
