1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,120 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everybody. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,040 And welcome to today's episode of the Never Peak Project 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,160 podcast. 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,600 I'm your host, Coach Ranger, coming at you live 5 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,960 from the $2 million studio. 6 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,440 And in today's episode, we're going 7 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,800 to be going over the importance of setting boundaries 8 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,320 when it comes to you and your business. 9 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,240 This is especially applicable for people 10 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,120 that are solo printers or in a very small team of individuals, 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,200 whether it is a nonprofit, a business, 12 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,960 or just a passion project in general. 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,240 So I'm going to be going over two major categories of advice. 14 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,360 And then I'm going to kind of rapid fire a few other suggestions 15 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,280 and things to keep in mind at the very end of the episode. 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,160 So go ahead, sit back, relax, scrap, whatever beverage 17 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:45,000 you want. 18 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,360 And let's dive in to the importance of setting boundaries 19 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,760 when it comes to you, your time, and your energy 20 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,560 with life and business. 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,800 In today's episode, we're going to be going over boundaries 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,760 in business, how to protect your time, energy, and effort 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,240 as a solo printer. 24 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Whether you're just starting out or been in the game 25 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,320 for a few years, setting clear boundaries 26 00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,080 is essential for avoiding burnout and creating 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,480 a sustainable business. 28 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,800 We're going to cover the importance of having a mission 29 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,080 and vision statement, how that bleeds into the daily activities 30 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,800 of your life. 31 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,440 And that's going to be covered a little bit more 32 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,760 in depth in the Lily Pads and Leaps section. 33 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,520 And then the last portion we're going to be going into in depth 34 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,800 on is the importance of having a metaphor or vision board. 35 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,360 Then again, like I mentioned earlier, 36 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,600 I'm going to rapid fire a few other suggestions or topics, 37 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440 some tactics that you can use in your life and business 38 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,320 to set boundaries. 39 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,120 So why are we even talking about boundaries? 40 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,680 And why is that important for you as a solo printer? 41 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,640 The reason that we're talking about boundaries today 42 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160 is because since you are your own boss, 43 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480 since you're the only one that is doing the work that 44 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,680 needs to be done, really the biggest challenge 45 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,640 you're going to face as a solo printer 46 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,600 is not having a built-in structure. 47 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480 It's not having someone to tell you what to do 48 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,960 or having systems and processes in place in order to really 49 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,640 guide and focus your energy on a day-to-day basis. 50 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680 You are the one that has to make all those decisions 51 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,800 for yourself. 52 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,680 And something that I bring up pretty regularly 53 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,960 is the idea that there are an infinite amount of possibilities 54 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,760 but an extremely finite amount of resources, time, and energy 55 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560 that you can put into your business or whatever endeavor 56 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,040 that you're going into. 57 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,640 So it's very easy to feel overwhelmed or stressed out 58 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,880 or just really burnout about what it 59 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,360 is that you're going to do next or what you're 60 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,880 doing on the day-to-day basis. 61 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Without boundaries, it's extremely 62 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,800 easy to fall into these three major pitfalls. 63 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Working all hours of the day with no separation 64 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,400 between life and business, saying yes to everything, 65 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,920 leaving no time for the actual work that needs to be done, 66 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,640 and of course, losing sight of what actually matters 67 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:47,320 for your business and the overall direction 68 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,480 that you want to go with your organization. 69 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,920 Boundaries and budgeting are very similar. 70 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:55,400 Typically, when people think of boundaries 71 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,680 to think of this big, arduous thing, that requires them 72 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,240 to kind of be a jerk and say no to a lot of things, 73 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,040 thus reducing the amount of possibilities and opportunities 74 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,480 they have presented to them. 75 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600 It's the same thing kind of with a budget. 76 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,280 People see budgets as these very limiting things 77 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,600 that prevent them from spending money 78 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,280 or almost punish them for wanting certain things in life. 79 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,040 But I think it's the exact opposite, 80 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,680 just like if you look at a budget as more so of a way 81 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,240 to give yourself permission to spend, 82 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400 as opposed to restricting your spending, 83 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,880 setting boundaries isn't so much about restriction 84 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,040 as it is about protection. 85 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,600 Your having boundaries doesn't stop you from doing things. 86 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160 It allows you to really focus on the things 87 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,560 that truly matter to you and what you want to create 88 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600 out of your business and vision for your life. 89 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Boundaries really help you stay focused on your mission, 90 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,160 prioritize effectively, and prevent burnout. 91 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,040 So when it comes to setting boundaries 92 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,640 in your life and business, the biggest thing 93 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,240 that you want to focus on is the overall mission 94 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,600 and vision that you have for the organization. 95 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120 That is going to be the thing that really helps you make sure 96 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360 that all of the smaller decisions you make on a daily basis 97 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,880 are actually effective in getting you to where you want to go. 98 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,120 And if you listen to a few episodes of the podcast, 99 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,760 you'll know the importance that I see for having a vision 100 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000 and mission in your life is. 101 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,920 When I was doing my walk across the country, 102 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200 I had a very clear mission statement on what it is 103 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,480 that I wanted to get out of the walk. 104 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,000 It helped me figure out which side projects to work on, 105 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 which detours to take, when to take an extra rest day, 106 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440 when to really focus in on various aspects 107 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,440 that allowed me to really just create more for myself 108 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,320 within those bounds. 109 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,640 Now I've had some people say that my mission statement 110 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,320 was kind of limiting in what I was allowing myself to do. 111 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,760 But in actuality, by having that mission statement, 112 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,720 which was to highlight, learn from, 113 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,080 and work with people in the US 114 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,280 that are making a difference in their communities, 115 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,840 really allowed me to focus in and go deeper 116 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,440 on the things that really matter, 117 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,840 which are the people that are doing great things 118 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,280 in the world and really making a difference. 119 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,200 So when really thinking about our vision 120 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,200 and mission statement, remember that your vision is your why. 121 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,920 What is your overall purpose and reason for being 122 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,680 in business to begin with? 123 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,760 Is it to really just make the world a better place? 124 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Create a world where there are no homeless animals, 125 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,240 where there's no hungry children. 126 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,760 What is the overall purpose and ideal situation 127 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,600 that you wanna create from being in your business? 128 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,840 And when it comes down to your mission statement, 129 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,360 that's more so the what. 130 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,960 That's the what are we specifically here to do. 131 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,920 So for example, when it comes to businesses 132 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,600 like Tony's Chocolate Only, 133 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,840 which is a ethical chocolate company, 134 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:48,240 their big vision is a world in which the cacao industry 135 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360 is not reliant on child or slave labor. 136 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,400 And what they're doing in order to get there, 137 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,760 their mission is to provide high quality chocolate 138 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,400 while also making people aware of the issues 139 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,320 in the cacao industry. 140 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,640 So that's their overall vision, 141 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,160 which is a world without slave and child labor. 142 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,800 But what they're doing to contribute to that 143 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,560 is by selling chocolate that is ethically sourced 144 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520 where they pay their cow farmers more, 145 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,800 where they're constantly bringing awareness to that aspect. 146 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,880 Just like with my business, 147 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560 the overall vision essentially is a world 148 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,960 where change makers feel empowered and in action 149 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200 towards making the world a better place. 150 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,920 And my specific mission is to help entrepreneurs 151 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320 and nonprofit leaders overcome self-limiting beliefs 152 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,040 in their life that are preventing them 153 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,640 from making the change that they wanna see in the world. 154 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,960 See how it's a little bit different 155 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,520 where that vision and mission very much complement 156 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,720 one another, but the vision is that higher level thing 157 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,520 and that mission is a little bit lower brass tacks? 158 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,200 That's really what you wanna go for. 159 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,520 Now, that's great and all, 160 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760 but what are the really important things 161 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680 about having a mission or vision statement? 162 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760 How does that relate to boundaries? 163 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480 That is the initial bubble that you're gonna put around 164 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,800 every other opportunity that comes across, 165 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,720 anything that comes across your plate 166 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400 that may or may not actually work towards 167 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,200 that vision or mission that you want to focus on. 168 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200 If I am walking across the country and my mission 169 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,800 is to highlight, learn from and work with people in the US 170 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,640 that are making a difference in their communities, 171 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,040 say that five times fast, 172 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,800 I'm not gonna necessarily focus on hitting 173 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,600 every single national park that comes in my way. 174 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160 Now, if my mission was to appreciate 175 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,600 and understand the natural beauty 176 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,280 of the North American continent, 177 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,960 my mission might be a little bit different. 178 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,600 I might wanna focus more so on the state and national parks 179 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,360 that I come across and focus in on that, 180 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480 but that wasn't what my focus for the walk was. 181 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Just like in my business, 182 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,680 I could be focusing on specifically budgeting 183 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,360 and money mindset for entrepreneurs. 184 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,880 While that might be a small part of the business, 185 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560 that's not necessarily what I wanna focus on. 186 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,400 It might more so be around the limiting beliefs 187 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,800 and sabotaging voice people have around money. 188 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,320 So it's really just that focus that allows you to stay 189 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,360 within the bounds of what your organization is 190 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600 and what you really want to see from it. 191 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,520 My cat is underneath me. 192 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,040 So that is really the importance of being clear 193 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,880 on your mission and vision statement. 194 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,760 Now, I've had a few episodes where I talk about 195 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,040 the importance of mission and vision 196 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,360 and I do do workshops about helping entrepreneurs, 197 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,240 nonprofit leaders be clear on their mission and vision. 198 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,320 Go ahead and check the description 199 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520 or check my website for any upcoming webinars 200 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,800 or workshops that we might be doing 201 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560 to help you with your mission and vision statement. 202 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:39,480 But if there's nothing else 203 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,040 and you want more one-on-one individualized support, 204 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680 feel free to send me an email or a text message. 205 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:47,040 I'll put my phone number down in the description as well. 206 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,880 Just shoot me a text and we can set up 207 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,960 a one and a half hour long clarity session 208 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,680 for your mission and vision. 209 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,000 I'd be more than happy to help you out 210 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,200 so that you feel clear and empowered towards creating 211 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,800 the life you want with your business. 212 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,560 And to continue on with that idea, 213 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,240 that higher level, that mission and vision stuff, 214 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,240 like that higher level thinking, that's great and all. 215 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440 But if you're not taking legitimate steps 216 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880 towards making it a reality, 217 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840 it doesn't really matter a whole lot, right? 218 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,840 What is it that a vision without action 219 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,960 isn't worth more than the brain cells those thoughts occupy, 220 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,600 but vision and action can change the world. 221 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,280 So once you have that overall vision 222 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,640 and that idea of what you want to create, 223 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,760 it's really down to doing the work 224 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,240 that needs to be done in order to make it happen. 225 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,520 So the next thing I wanna talk about 226 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,480 is the importance of frogs in your life. 227 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,520 Hell is that mean? 228 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,440 When it comes to really breaking down your overall goals, 229 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,160 the way I kinda see it is all of us are frogs 230 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,440 and we're trying to get from one side of a pond to the other. 231 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,600 Now your starting point, starting point, 232 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,560 or point A is where you are now. 233 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:00,320 Point B is where you are when your mission 234 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,440 or your vision are actualized. 235 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,880 And that water in between is what you need to get through 236 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,400 in order to get across to the other side. 237 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,040 Now there might be waterfalls and sharks 238 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,840 and all these other things like issues in the water, 239 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,600 but if you were a frog trying to get 240 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,800 from one side of the pond to the other, 241 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,360 you wouldn't necessarily try to make 242 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120 one giant leap at once. 243 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,920 Just like when I was walking across the country, 244 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360 my goal wasn't to make it over in a day 245 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,760 or a couple days or weeks, it was months, 246 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,400 it was gonna be a several month long journey. 247 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,920 So when it comes to your business, 248 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,480 what you need to do is figure out 249 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,760 how you're gonna get from one side to the other 250 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,080 without trying to do it all in one day or even one year. 251 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,040 And what I came up with for the walk 252 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,080 is called the lily pad method. 253 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,080 And what you do is you figure out 254 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,680 where you are exactly now on point A, 255 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,080 the first side of the pond, 256 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,080 and then point B is the side of the pond 257 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,680 that you're trying to get to. 258 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,000 And you have to look at it a certain way. 259 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,080 You have to look at it in the way 260 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000 that there are small lily pads strung across the pond. 261 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,080 Some might be going straight across, 262 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 in my case if I was walking east to west 263 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,040 through the United States. 264 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,160 So some of it might be directly west. 265 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,320 Sometimes I need to go a little bit north 266 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,960 or I need to go a little bit south. 267 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,040 Or sometimes I need to even backtrack a little bit 268 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,000 in order to actually go forward. 269 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,600 You need to figure out what those lily pads 270 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,480 are going to look like for you. 271 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,240 In my case, the easiest example is I started 272 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640 in Myrtle Beach, that was the starting point. 273 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,240 The next point I needed to get to 274 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,440 was Columbia, South Carolina. 275 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,840 I needed to get from Myrtle Beach to Columbia. 276 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,320 That was the first lily pad. 277 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,960 But you're not always going to be able to jump 278 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400 from one lily pad to the other perfectly. 279 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240 There is that space in between each pad 280 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,960 where you need to swim. 281 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,640 You need to do the smaller steps in order to get there. 282 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920 Breaking this down on the entrepreneurial level, 283 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,160 an example of that could be, 284 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,320 let's say you want to make $100,000 in a year. 285 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,040 There's various lily pads you're going to need to hit 286 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,120 in order to get there. 287 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,080 You're going to need to figure out what your offer is. 288 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,320 You're going to need to figure out 289 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,640 how many people you need to meet, 290 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,520 whether you're doing a product or a service. 291 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,680 You need to figure out marketing. 292 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,000 You need to know how to do meta ads. 293 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360 You need to do all of these different things. 294 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,880 But if you don't specifically say the things 295 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920 you need to learn, you're never going to learn them. 296 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,400 So to kind of slow down a little bit, 297 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400 let's say that in order to 298 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,400 give, let's say, 10 presentations 299 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,320 in front of your target audience, 300 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,640 you need to meet 100 people 301 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,800 that may be connected to different organizations 302 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,720 to give that presentation to. 303 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,240 So let's say that one lily pad is give 10 presentations. 304 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,920 Now you need to figure out what that space 305 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,560 between where you are and getting to that point 306 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:45,960 actually looks like. 307 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,840 And that's what I call the swimming. 308 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640 For example, that swimming might be, 309 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,400 I need to go to two or three networking events a week. 310 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,560 I need to have five to 10, one to ones a week 311 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,240 with people in my B&I group or my other networking group. 312 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,760 I need to find people that are presidents 313 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,800 or event planners for these different organizations. 314 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,400 It's really just about figuring out 315 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,120 what those smaller goals are on the overall horizon 316 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120 and then breaking those smaller goals down 317 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,160 into even smaller goals. 318 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,120 And that is where something like the power list 319 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000 comes into play, which is something that I adopted 320 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,960 from Andy Frisella and the Live Hard program 321 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,960 is figure out what those smaller goals are 322 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,760 that are on the path for you to get to the overall goal 323 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,360 and then really break them down 324 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,720 into daily tasks that you can do. 325 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,280 And when I say your powerless tasks, 326 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,320 I don't mean a basic to-do list. 327 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,480 These are tasks that will actually move you 328 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,720 towards where you want to go. 329 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,360 They're the highest leverage, 330 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,000 the most important tasks that you need to take 331 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,200 on a daily basis. 332 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,800 So to really just wrap that up, 333 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,920 I think that the most important thing 334 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,840 when it comes to action is being clear 335 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520 on what your overall mission and vision is. 336 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,880 And then being clear on the smaller tasks that you need to do, 337 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,680 really just keep chunking it down to go from the overall, 338 00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,520 you know, three to five years out vision, 339 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,240 the one or two year mission, 340 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400 all the way down to the one to six month 341 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,160 Lily Pats that you need to take, 342 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160 then understand the daily swimming and tasks 343 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,080 that you need to do in order to get to that overall goal. 344 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,120 The next thing that I want to recommend to people to do 345 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,720 in terms of setting boundaries in your life and business 346 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160 is to create a metaphor board. 347 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,360 Now, this is very similar to a vision board 348 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,080 where you put up your various goals 349 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,080 and you understand, you know, 350 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320 what you want from the year, et cetera, et cetera. 351 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,760 And while I do think that those are valuable, 352 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,160 personally for me, what has been a little bit more useful 353 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,640 and valuable is something that I call the metaphor board. 354 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440 Now, a metaphor board is a picture, 355 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,240 it's very similar to a vision board, 356 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160 where there are nine different photos 357 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,000 of various things that I want to remember on a daily basis. 358 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,720 I usually have it up in one of the tabs on my computer 359 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,320 that I can easily reference, 360 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,280 but each photo represents something different 361 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,880 when it comes to my life and my business. 362 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,280 For example, there is a picture in the top left corner 363 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,880 of a woman in a red dress. 364 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,520 Now, if you listen to Alex Ramosy's content, 365 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,880 you might have heard of the concept 366 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,240 of the woman in the red dress. 367 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,400 And what that means is it's just about avoiding distractions 368 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,080 on a daily basis. 369 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,040 In the movie, The Matrix, when Neo and, 370 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,240 oh gosh, the camera, the other guy's name, Morbius, 371 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,960 they are training, Morbius is explaining something to Neo 372 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,480 and a woman in a red dress walks by 373 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800 and Neo turns to look at her. 374 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,480 And then Morbius says, hey, are you paying attention? 375 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,240 Were you listening to me or were you looking at her? 376 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,480 And then Neo turns back around and it's the agent, 377 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,320 the bad guy, pointing a gun in its face. 378 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,320 And that's just reminding me constantly 379 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,560 to be careful of what I'm putting my attention on. 380 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,920 Is the thing that I am focusing on at the moment 381 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560 really moving me forward in my life? 382 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,640 A huge example of this for myself right now 383 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,880 is the school platform. 384 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960 In my earlier episodes of the Never Peak Project, 385 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,520 I mentioned a lot about joining my school community. 386 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,800 I was putting a lot of time and effort into that, 387 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,840 but it really wasn't moving the dial forward. 388 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,080 I was spending one to three hours a day on the platform, 389 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,640 trying to learn how to do ads or change my offer 390 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,520 or make posts or interact, but that wasn't moving me forward. 391 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,400 And I've learned that something more important 392 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,360 to put my time into is the podcast, is content creation. 393 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,320 By doing those things, it's keeping me more top of mind 394 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,040 to people in my network. 395 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,280 Instead of focusing on a platform that hasn't gotten me 396 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,280 anything in several months of using it, 397 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,320 and it's costing me money every month, 398 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040 it's more important to kind of foster the relationships 399 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,880 and spend time doing one-to-ones or other activities 400 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,800 that actually move the dial forward. 401 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,000 Let's see a few other examples. 402 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,640 Another one is the red die. 403 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,000 It's another thing Alex from Mozi talks about, 404 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,480 but it's the concept of the multi-sided die, 405 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,920 that in your life you are given a die. 406 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,320 Now a bunch of the sides are red, but only one side is green. 407 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,920 Now your goal is to roll the dice as many times 408 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,440 as you possibly can. 409 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,200 Every time you get a green, a red side turns green. 410 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,320 Your goal is to eventually get the entire die to be green, 411 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,720 but you have no idea how many sides you have. 412 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,520 You could have 20 sides, you could have 200. 413 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,200 And that kind of just talks a little bit about the idea 414 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760 of different privileges or leg ups 415 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,560 that each of us have in our life. 416 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,560 I probably have a smaller die than somebody else 417 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,040 that was born in a different zip code, 418 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,720 or maybe I have more than somebody else. 419 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,160 And it's really just about reminding yourself 420 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,720 that every time you roll the dice and it comes up red, 421 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,760 all you have to do is pick it up and try again. 422 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,040 If an ad I run doesn't work, great, learn from it, 423 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,200 see what I can do better, pick up that die and roll again. 424 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,000 If I go to a networking meeting and I strike out 425 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,920 and somebody says no to my offer of coaching, 426 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,600 fantastic, I got to pick up the die and roll again. 427 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,400 That game only stops if I choose not to roll again. 428 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,760 So it's just a kind of reminder 429 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,680 that this is a game that we're playing, 430 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,200 that it's really just about the reps 431 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,960 that we're putting in on a daily basis, 432 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,040 and not so much as a end all be all. 433 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,480 If the dice comes up red and I lose, 434 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,480 that doesn't mean that I myself am a loser 435 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,360 or that I have lost the game. 436 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:29,200 It just means that I need to pick it up and try again. 437 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,320 And after time and time and time again, 438 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,160 I will have more greens than reds 439 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,960 and it'll be a little bit easier, 440 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,120 but a reminder that no matter how many greens I have, 441 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,640 there are gonna be times that it comes up red. 442 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,160 So I could go through all nine of these 443 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,720 and maybe I'll do another podcast episode 444 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,600 where I go over all of the images on my metaphor board 445 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,600 or I'll make a post about it on Instagram. 446 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,760 But that's just a general idea, 447 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,560 is that reminding yourself of these different concepts 448 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480 that are important to you. 449 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,840 And I'm a big picture guy, 450 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,480 so that might be something good for me, 451 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,480 but maybe it might be something like 452 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,320 an affirmation board for you. 453 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,400 Just something to remind yourself that as things come up, 454 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800 it's helping you pick and choose 455 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,160 how to make decisions a little bit faster. 456 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,560 And that's really what the metaphor board is for, 457 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,720 is to make decision making faster. 458 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,720 Instead of getting caught up that, 459 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,880 oh, I screwed this up, I lost this thing, 460 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,240 it's just reminding myself, okay, 461 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080 I gotta pick up the die and roll again. 462 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,520 I'm getting distracted by something else, 463 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,640 that's the woman in the red dress, 464 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,080 I need to ignore it, I need to move on. 465 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,440 So that really wraps up the two-ish, 466 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,560 three major things I wanted to focus on today 467 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,280 when it comes to making decisions in your daily life 468 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,320 as an entrepreneur and business leader, 469 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,080 is being very clear on your overall mission and vision. 470 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,880 That's gonna help you block out a ton of noise 471 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,480 in your day-to-day life. 472 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,080 The next step is taking that 473 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,360 and putting it into smaller, lidley pads, 474 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,680 understanding where you wanna go overall, 475 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,280 and then focusing on two or three major things at a time, 476 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,200 if not less, that will get you towards where you wanna go, 477 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,800 and then breaking those two or three major tasks down 478 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320 into smaller, lidley steps in order to get there. 479 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,560 That will help you stay extremely focused 480 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,840 on where you wanna go. 481 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,960 The next thing is being clear 482 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,240 on the different ways to protect that time, 483 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,520 and I suggest that metaphor board, 484 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,600 because it allows you to make faster decisions 485 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,280 on a day-to-day basis. 486 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,760 Am I being distracted right now? 487 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,240 Am I being focused on what I wanna be focused on? 488 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,320 Am I letting this loss really dive deeper on me 489 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,520 that it needs to be? 490 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,200 Is there something that I'm missing here? 491 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,480 That is what the metaphor board focuses on. 492 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,280 And in terms of a few other ideas, 493 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,560 these are things that I jotted down, 494 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,640 that I went to chat GBT and a few other articles on, 495 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,080 that I wanted to share with you guys as well. 496 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440 So there is also the idea of time blocking 497 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,200 and energy management. 498 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,720 You can just kinda set yourself 90-minute tasks. 499 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,800 I kinda call giving myself a pot of coffee 500 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,560 and four hours method where you have this big task, 501 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760 you just need to get it done, lock the doors, 502 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,480 put your headphones on with or without music, 503 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,720 give yourself some coffee, 504 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,200 and just focus on this one task. 505 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,720 Don't stop until it is done. 506 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,640 And it is Parkinson's Law. 507 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,440 Work expands so as to fill the time 508 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280 available for its completion. 509 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760 If you give a task less time than you think 510 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,760 it's going to take, ideally, you will get it done. 511 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,760 If you wanna give yourself four hours to do a task, 512 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,560 you'll probably get it done right around three and a half 513 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,400 hours. 514 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,880 But if you only give yourself two hours 515 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,280 and you really focus in on it 516 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,920 and you do everything you can to make that happen, 517 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,120 you will get it done much faster. 518 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,400 So it's kinda just about utilizing that part 519 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,160 or that, got what I just call it, Parkinson's Law, 520 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,000 is utilizing Parkinson's Law to make these bigger tasks 521 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,440 into shorter periods. 522 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,880 Another thing is saying no with confidence 523 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,840 and without extra story. 524 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Sometimes people think that when they say no to someone, 525 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,800 they are being a jerk or they are being this or that, 526 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,520 or that they're gonna take it this way. 527 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,520 Sometimes you just need to say no and that's okay. 528 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,360 Kind of referring back to a previous episode we did 529 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,400 and comma, that's okay. 530 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,240 Setting communication boundaries. 531 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,200 Sometimes you need to have specific office hours 532 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,560 for when you're gonna be contacting 533 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 and reaching out to employees, if you have any, 534 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,920 people on your team, virtual assistants, et cetera, 535 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,360 or clients. 536 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,480 Being clear, hey, I respond to emails. 537 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,480 You don't have to have to make this necessary public, 538 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,600 but just in yourself, I only respond to emails 539 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,240 between eight to 10 a.m. and five to seven p.m. 540 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,680 I take my last client at eight in the afternoon. 541 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,720 I take my first one no earlier than seven a.m. 542 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,880 It just makes it very clear on when you yourself 543 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,360 are gonna be doing certain tasks 544 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:48,000 that may take a lot of time. 545 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,760 And it's easier for you to just not be, 546 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,880 so I need to respond to this email right now. 547 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,600 Or I need to do this thing specifically 548 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,360 at this exact moment. 549 00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:57,200 What is it? 550 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,400 Their urgency is not your emergency. 551 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,640 Ooh, automation is another really good one. 552 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,400 Finding ways to cut down time. 553 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,200 I have seen some other entrepreneurs or podcasters 554 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,160 even say that they don't wanna use AI technology 555 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,880 to make their podcast process easier or more streamlined. 556 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,960 They think that it might take away some of the touch points 557 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,040 or the authenticity of it. 558 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,480 But personally, I do think that by having automation, 559 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,680 especially for smaller things like captions or clips, 560 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,800 would save you a ton of time to really focus 561 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,160 on the higher leveraged tasks that you need to do. 562 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,560 And instead of paying somebody, you know, 563 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,080 15, 20 bucks an hour to cut up clips of your podcast, 564 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,000 paying 15, 20 bucks a month to have an AI service do it, 565 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,720 can just save you a ton of time 566 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,960 and allow you to focus on those higher leveraged tasks. 567 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,920 And really, those are the main things that I would focus on 568 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,080 in terms of setting boundaries, 569 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,240 is being clear on exactly where you're going, 570 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,920 what you're doing on a day-to-day basis, 571 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,000 to non-negotiable tasks that need to get done, 572 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,880 having ways to make decisions a little bit easier, 573 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000 and then being clear on the importance of your time, 574 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,880 setting time aside for specific tasks, 575 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,360 being able to tune out the world 576 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:11,160 and focus on a specific thing for however long you need 577 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,840 in order to get it done. 578 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,840 As well as being able to automate or delegate tasks 579 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,760 as the need arises. 580 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,440 So I know this episode wasn't necessarily 581 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,760 about how to communicate your boundaries to people 582 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440 or set them in terms of communicating them 583 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,720 with the outside world, 584 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,480 it's more so about being extremely clear 585 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,640 on what you are trying to do, 586 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040 so that you can protect your time, your energy, 587 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,960 and your effort so that your business 588 00:24:37,960 -->
