WEBVTT 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.140 What's going on, Pursuers? Welcome to The Pursuit 00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:14.339 of Calling, the podcast that provides you with 00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:17.260 the strategies and tools needed to successfully 00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.820 discover and pursue your calling. Whether it's 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:23.239 through inspiring stories, thought -provoking 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.160 interviews, or quick, insightful episodes on 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.559 personal growth and development, we've got you 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.359 covered. I'm your host, Thomas Carney. Enjoy 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:41.130 the episode. All right. How's it going, pursuers? 00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:43.990 If you don't know, I'm a certified life coach. 00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:48.149 Maybe you can call that a career coach. I call 00:00:48.149 --> 00:00:50.570 it a calling coach. I think a career coach is 00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:52.390 probably what you're maybe most familiar with. 00:00:53.350 --> 00:00:55.530 Essentially, I help people take the goals that 00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:57.869 they believe they've been called to pursue but 00:00:57.869 --> 00:01:01.670 are stuck, like you might be. Getting from I'll 00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:06.409 do it one day to I'm doing it today. Something 00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:08.930 big. So you can pick something big or small, 00:01:08.989 --> 00:01:11.870 but if you're ambitious, you're going to be making 00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:14.909 this something big. What's that thing for you? 00:01:15.750 --> 00:01:18.950 Picture it in your mind. Imagine what it would 00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:24.049 be like to accomplish this goal. Okay, hold it 00:01:24.049 --> 00:01:29.290 there. Let's dive in. And so instead of telling 00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:33.069 you what coaching is, which isn't really that 00:01:33.069 --> 00:01:37.400 helpful, I want to show you. So you know... that 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.099 goal that you've been having that you have already 00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:41.620 have in your mind wouldn't you love to have an 00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:44.319 actionable plan that you can use to get you from 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.099 someday taking action to taking action today 00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:51.060 yeah me too so let's start let's do that right 00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:53.980 now the whole point of this episode we're going 00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:56.920 to go through three separate questions and we're 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.920 going to be building out a the start of your 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.519 actionable plan to accomplish that goal that 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.879 you've always wanted to achieve These questions 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.860 are going to seem simple, but they're intentional. 00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:14.120 So question one. What do you need to learn in 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.879 order to accomplish your goal? Sounds fairly 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.620 simple. Sounds fairly like, duh. If you immediately 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:25.599 just thought, like, I don't know. Well, how about 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.520 we start with, what do I know? What do you know? 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.680 And write those things down. If you don't know. 00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:35.639 what your next step should be. Maybe you actually 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.800 can't think of anything. Well, who do you know 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.479 that would know? Someone that has been where 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.300 you are, a mentor, maybe an author of a book 00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:50.439 that you've been wanting to read, or others in 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.599 your field. Notice we're not even talking about 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.939 achieving that goal right now. We're aiming at 00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:01.509 gaining momentum. So now question two, out of 00:03:01.509 --> 00:03:04.069 all of those things mentioned, what is the best 00:03:04.069 --> 00:03:06.449 thing that you can do this week in order to get 00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:11.389 started or take the next step? Maybe that's reach 00:03:11.389 --> 00:03:14.550 out to a mentor. Maybe that's buy a book from 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:16.469 that author that you were just thinking about. 00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:19.270 Or maybe get an online course. Maybe it's hire 00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:24.250 a coach to figure out what are the things in 00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:27.669 your life What are the things you can be doing? 00:03:27.729 --> 00:03:29.990 What are the things that you do know? Maybe you 00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:34.689 need somebody to pull out those things inside 00:03:34.689 --> 00:03:36.530 of you that you do know. That's what the goal 00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:42.409 is right now during this episode. Or maybe you 00:03:42.409 --> 00:03:44.750 do know the action that you need to take right 00:03:44.750 --> 00:03:46.289 now. Maybe it's something that you've been thinking 00:03:46.289 --> 00:03:48.490 about this whole time. Maybe it's something you've 00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:51.430 thought about for a long time that, okay, all 00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:56.819 I have to do to start is do this. You start there 00:03:56.819 --> 00:04:00.960 this week. The reason I said, the reason the 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.199 question led with what is the best thing you 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.099 can be doing? It causes you to filter through 00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:09.000 all of the other things that are good and for 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.159 you to focus on the best. Question three, when 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.800 will you do this? This is probably the most important 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.439 piece because if you don't say. If you don't 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.000 hold yourself accountable to an actual time frame 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.100 to when you're actually going to accomplish something, 00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.800 but to when you're going to do it, it's going 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.019 to be a lot harder to actually get this thing 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:36.079 done. So give this a date and a time. Again, 00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:38.399 I have in my notes, this is a great way to hold 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:44.100 yourself accountable. You might be thinking this 00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:47.449 whole podcast. is about the pursuit of calling 00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:52.449 so why are we talking about achieving goals and 00:04:52.449 --> 00:04:55.170 that's because your calling yes it goes with 00:04:55.170 --> 00:04:57.529 you everywhere that you go and it also but i 00:04:57.529 --> 00:05:00.009 also believe we have these goals on our lives 00:05:00.009 --> 00:05:04.269 these goals that we want to pursue for a reason 00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:08.810 and our calling and these goals that we want 00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:11.589 to do these goals that we're looking to achieve 00:05:11.589 --> 00:05:16.790 is a way for us to live out our calling That 00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:20.009 make sense? You have a calling on your life and 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:24.350 there's ways to apply it. That's the goal of 00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:27.230 making this actionable plan so you can achieve 00:05:27.230 --> 00:05:31.290 a goal and live out your calling. So usually 00:05:31.290 --> 00:05:34.509 I like to leave you guys with an actionable thing 00:05:34.509 --> 00:05:36.129 for you to do and it's kind of already done. 00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:38.290 Take everything you learned for the day and take 00:05:38.290 --> 00:05:41.990 action. Make the lists out. Choose the best thing. 00:05:43.310 --> 00:05:49.490 Seek out the mentors. And the only person to 00:05:49.490 --> 00:05:55.329 blame if you don't is yourself. So once you're 00:05:55.329 --> 00:05:57.930 done with this and you want to take the next 00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:01.410 step, you can sign up for a free introductory 00:06:01.410 --> 00:06:08.790 course coaching session with me.

If you don't have 00:07:04.589 --> 00:07:07.430 anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. 00:07:08.089 --> 00:07:11.610 Because we don't need your one stars.
