00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.740
Okay, we're trying something new right now. No

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:09.099
intro this episode. No editing. This is an off

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:13.300
-the -cuff recording and uploading today. Because

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:18.679
I just have something that I want to do. I just

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:23.359
decided this is different. I don't usually just

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.399
have an idea and then immediately execute that

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:27.600
idea. So we are trying something different today,

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:32.560
guys. This morning, I was really further want

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.820
to say happy Memorial Day because I'm recording

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.340
it on Memorial Day. And if all goes as planned,

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.159
this will be posted in like 30 minutes. So happy

00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.520
Memorial Day. And the reason I'm posting this

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.299
now is because I've heard certain creators say,

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.479
I think, even though I don't agree with everything

00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.039
he says, Gary V, I've heard him say, document,

00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.259
don't create. So I kind of wanted to at least

00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:02.700
see how this one goes. I was trying to do that

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:06.060
as part of it, like on a monthly basis before.

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.920
And I'm just doing it this episode, just recording

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.879
this episode, whatever you want to say this is,

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:19.219
and put this out there. There's no notes here.

00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.480
This is raw. This morning, the reason I really

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.500
wanted to do this morning, it was because I was

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:28.049
on, I was. You know, honestly, I've been worried.

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:33.150
I'm worried about my coaching practice, my coaching,

00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:36.170
because I know I'm so early in it. And maybe

00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.430
I think part of me is worrying because I want

00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:42.670
things to happen now and they aren't happening

00:01:42.670 --> 00:01:46.349
in as fast as I want them to happen. I know I'm

00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:47.969
putting that out there because I believe that

00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:51.769
to be true. But I also get stuck. I get stuck

00:01:51.769 --> 00:01:54.650
in a mindset of I feel like I should be doing

00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:58.239
something. And then I don't know what to do.

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.040
So then that next question is, what is the right

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.980
thing to do? And I don't always know the answer

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:14.939
to that. Which is okay. And I'm saying that to

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:18.960
myself as well as to you guys. It's okay not

00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.419
to know what to do next. I think what's important

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:26.490
in what I did today... is to just do something

00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:30.610
that might sound counterintuitive i i think it's

00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:35.870
really important that um whenever i i there's

00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:38.590
something we do i do as a coach something following

00:02:38.590 --> 00:02:43.889
the maxwell um style of coaching that whenever

00:02:43.889 --> 00:02:46.610
somebody doesn't whenever somebody says that

00:02:46.610 --> 00:02:48.969
the thing i don't know or like you ask him a

00:02:48.969 --> 00:02:51.229
question like what could you do next and they

00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:54.750
say i don't know You ask them the question, questions

00:02:54.750 --> 00:02:59.530
like, what do you know? Or if you did know the

00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:03.469
answer, what would it be? And some people are

00:03:03.469 --> 00:03:06.430
like, I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I'm

00:03:06.430 --> 00:03:12.689
like, and I'm just like, then I shift to ask

00:03:12.689 --> 00:03:16.110
you a different question. But like, I'm sitting

00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:18.610
here this morning in my room and I'm like, I

00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.810
don't know what to do next. And I caught myself.

00:03:20.849 --> 00:03:25.319
I was like, man. I don't know. So if I did know,

00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:28.419
what would the answer be? And the thing I didn't

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:31.620
know about, just to be clear, is I didn't know

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:37.300
how to get more clients. And for those who don't

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:38.979
know, I've been coaching a few people for free

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.520
for three months. And that's been going awesome.

00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:44.979
I've been loving it. And it's getting toward

00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:50.360
the end of those three months. I have like they're

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.080
going to be there with some of the one person

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.139
is bringing somebody in, but they're not able

00:03:54.139 --> 00:03:57.300
to even start into October because of their life

00:03:57.300 --> 00:03:59.659
situation right now. And it's a good reason I'm

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:03.599
going to oust them. But as of what the reason

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.939
is, but I'm I was like thinking, like, what could

00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:11.780
I be doing? And one of the things was, well,

00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:14.759
I could be reaching out to more people like just

00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:20.300
word of mouth. I could be trying to do ads. I

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:23.899
don't know if that is the best use of my time

00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:28.560
right now. Maybe it is. I might be wrong on that.

00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:31.480
And I don't even want it to sound like that I

00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.360
think I am or am not wrong on that. I just honestly

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.220
don't know. And I think now that I said that,

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.220
I'm like... I'm catching myself again. I was

00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:42.579
like, what do I know? I'm going to have to answer

00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:44.660
that a little bit later. I was getting really

00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:46.160
excited. I was like, yeah, I could reach out

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.620
to this person. I could reach out to this person.

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.819
I could. The point of the podcast is to raise

00:04:50.819 --> 00:04:54.259
awareness about what coaching is, who I am. And

00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:57.019
you can decide whether you actually want to coach

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.060
with me or not. And then sign up with the link

00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:08.560
in the description. Hey. And, man. this is i'm

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.319
gonna be honest with you this episode is freeing

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.519
for me it feels really good to just not use notes

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.439
all of us but yes for an episode even though

00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.480
i love i like using notes uh i've been getting

00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.560
overwhelmed to an extent of feeling like um the

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.639
podcast takes up a there's some prep time and

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.879
there is prep time and other things to do and

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.399
then it makes me question whether that's the

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600
best thing i should be doing with my time And

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.300
that's another, again, that's thinking just off

00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:41.100
my mind, off the top of my head, that's another

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:43.779
question sometimes that we ask as coaches is,

00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:45.899
what is the best thing you can be doing right

00:05:45.899 --> 00:05:47.800
now? What is the best thing that you can be doing

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.120
between this session and next session? And that

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:57.259
puts your goals in a certain perspective. I realize,

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.839
thinking just even right now, the point of the

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.160
podcast, I know there aren't a lot of listeners,

00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.480
there aren't a lot of downloads. but the point

00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.579
of the podcast is like i said to raise awareness

00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:12.379
to provide with you guys with new tools with

00:06:12.379 --> 00:06:15.300
to uh but successfully discover and pursue your

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:19.920
your calling or your god -given calling um and

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:29.180
honestly i'm man with i've been getting honestly

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:34.240
not as overwhelmed as i used to I think I'm able

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.959
to catch myself and pivot and have people I can

00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:43.339
talk to, mentors and other people that I've met

00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:45.860
through networking in the Maxwell community that

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:49.319
I can reach out and ask questions to. I did that

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.920
this weekend about something that came up. Maybe

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.459
I'll talk about it in the maybe near -ish future

00:06:57.459 --> 00:07:00.379
with the permission of the people that were involved.

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:12.060
Life is a learning experience. Life is constantly

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:15.879
changing, or at least I hope it is. Otherwise,

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.079
it's pretty boring. Life is constantly changing,

00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.560
constantly moving, and we have to grow with it.

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.459
And there's some growing pains in that. An episode

00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:30.699
you're going to hear tomorrow is... or the episode

00:07:30.699 --> 00:07:32.040
that's coming out tomorrow, depending on when

00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.620
you listen to this episode, is about leadership

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:37.959
opportunity that I've been given at my job. I

00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:39.920
won't go too far into that, but that's been overwhelming

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.660
to an extent. And part of that's my fault. Part

00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:48.560
of that is because of just how I'm mentally handling

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.839
it and then figuring out how to reframe it so

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.360
it's not actually as overwhelming as it is. I

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.600
know I'm tangenting a lot, so let me kind of

00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.060
get back on track. Again, there's no notes here.

00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:05.500
um but life is life it like life changes life

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:08.779
keeps moving and that's the fun part about it

00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:14.100
um yeah i think right now i have you know what

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:17.620
actually i'm gonna stop it there nine minutes

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:19.720
into the recording i think that's a good place

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.720
to pause that's a good place to stop just really

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.980
wanted to be real with you guys just all of a

00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:26.600
sudden So appreciate you guys. Thank you for

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.620
listening to this episode of the Pursuit of Calling

00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:31.819
podcast. Keep pursuing your calling. I'll see

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:32.100
you later.
