Wheel of Life Podcast: Business|Productivity|Accountability

Today we are going to talk about Optimizing Effective and Efficient Behavior for Increased Success. Ask any successful business owner or entrepreneur and they will tell you one of the number one rules to optimizing the success of a business starts with producing effective results with the greatest efficiency. So how do you improve your career or business by improving effectiveness and efficiency? We begin by reviewing the difference between the two terms. Effectiveness is the building block, while efficiency is the process of refinement. The better you become at effecting positive results with the greatest efficiency of effort, the bigger asset you become - and so does your business. Optimizing effectiveness and efficiency doesn’t have any relation to IQ or intelligence levels, it‘s really an awareness of your habits. It’s a delicate balance between effecting positive results with the least amount of energy expenditure. This essentially means that you expend the least amount of energy with the largest return - while effectively creating the desired result. Improving effectiveness and efficiency may require improving organizational skills, maintaining a greater focus, task delegation, getting eight hours of sleep every night, or any other number of factors. Although adjustments vary from person to person, the factors remain constant and compile a set of success principles. Begin working on increasing your effectiveness and efficiency today and enjoy the benefits you receive as a result. You'll find that you will accomplish more in less time and feel great about your progress every day.

Today we are going to talk about 8 Ideas for Getting Things Done…The Right Way. We all want more success and the fear of failure can often be the driving force of our actions. We work long hours, sacrifice personal time, and even sleep. We put our heart and soul into what we're trying to achieve, only to find that we're spinning our wheels. We think we're getting things done, because at the end of the day all of our Action List items are crossed out; but did we really get closer to achieving our goals? The fact is, most of us accomplish a whole list of things by the end of the day, but have little to show for it. Your success depends on what you are doing and the way you are getting things done. If you're not moving closer to your goal achievement, you are not getting things done the right way. The good news is - getting things done the right way requires only a simple shift in your actions. There are only two ways of getting things done; one way leads to your success, while the other keeps you in the same position you're in right now. Getting things done the right way, can take you from spinning your wheels to; creating more time, expending less effort, reducing frustration and moving you closer to your goals with every single action. This is possible because success relies on one principle: success takes successful actions. We are going to talk about 8 ideas for getting things done the right way.

Today we have a special guest. One of the important tools I use as an accountability coach is the Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life I use, because not all are the same, has 8 areas that we regularly focus on. One of those areas is health and fitness. Our special guest, Denis Collier, is a Registered Dietitian, a Certified Exercise Physiologist and has a Masters degree in Kinesiology. The company he founded specializes in helping individuals reach their most valuable goals by integrating nutrition with a physically active lifestyle. As far as nutrition goes, there are tons of different topics we could discuss. Today, I would like to talk about a very fundamental concept – kind of really go back to the basics. I think a lot of people simply want to know “How much food can I eat?” Denis answers: – How much food can we eat? - It might be difficult to give specific recommendations on how many calories an individual needs. Are there any guidelines you can give here today for the individuals listening? - What are the problems with calculating your Caloric requirement using just the method you described? - How do you determine how much your client’s can actually eat? - As it relates to how much should I eat, what do you recommend, as a registered dietitian, what percentage of fat, protein, and carbs per meal or per day should we try and eat? Denis provided us with some great insights and things to think about and implement so we can be healthier. For those of you who might be interested in learning more about Denis, he has a program called The Fitness Phone. The Fitness Phone is a revolutionary way to consistently access the world’s leading health and fitness experts – and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Today we are going to talk about 5 Tips on Making Successful Commitments That Produce Results. Most of us cringe when we hear the word “commitment” because we associate it with feelings of sacrifice. Our commitments fail because we get caught up in the struggle of trying to change where life seems to be taking us and where we want to go. Our every day habits consume our thoughts - leaving no room for thoughts of why we started the process in the first place. The diet becomes a struggle between exercise and chocolate cake; the budget becomes a struggle between spending and saving, so on and so on. The struggle ends up consuming us and we give up trying to change because it’s just too hard. What we thought would be efforts to lead us to a new life, end up being just a temporary change. We’ve tried before and failed again, and the conclusion comes down to a discouraged excuse - I just couldn’t do it, I didn’t have time, or it was too hard. The truth is making a successful commitment is nothing more than a making a choice to create a desired future outcome. You may say that people who stick to their commitments are an exception, and you are definitely not one of those people. Well, I’m here to tell you that commitments are not personality specific. Each of us has the capability to set successful commitments. So now you’re saying, if that’s the case, why do so many of us fail? Because most people don’t know how to make the decisions that create successful commitment. If you’ve tried and failed in past commitments, it doesn’t matter. The past is the past, and you are a different person today. Starting right now, you are now armed with the strength and the tools you need to successfully commit to creating your desired future outcome.

Today we are going to talk about 4 Steps to Increase the Power of Your Focus so you can achieve your goals. Living your life without practicing The Power of Focus, is like trying to hit the bull’s eye of a target you can’t see. You can spend hours launching arrows, only to miss the target entirely. You become exhausted and frustrated when your repeated efforts don’t show the results you are trying to achieve. This is what it feels like to operate without The Power of Focus. To get to where you want to be, you must hold clear in your mind what you most want. Your subconscious mind is a powerful, goal-achieving machine, but it can’t lead you to your desired goal, if you don’t provide it with a specific target. If it doesn’t have a clear and specific target, it can’t get you there. As Stephen Covey would say, you must begin with the end in mind. The Power of Focus is the practice of focusing on the ‘right’ tasks at hand, while minimizing distractions that take your focus away from your goals. It will improve time management, professional and personal performance, task efficiency, overall life balance, and provide your mind the information it needs to get you to the bull’s eye. When you focus on the ‘right’ activities that lead to ‘big’ goal achievement, you will succeed. Today you’ll learn the 4 steps to help you increase your focus so you can have a higher probability of achieving your goals.
