3 Big Ideas, Tips or Strategies for this week

1. Using ‘But’ correctly – Imagine you make your sweetie dinner, she twists her mouth upon first bite, grins and says: “You’re such a horrible cook!”

Supposedly cute, but still stings, right?

Now, imagine instead, she’d say: “You’re such a horrible cook…but at least you’re funny!”

Feels entirely different, doesn’t it? That’s because using “but” after any negative statement allows you to smooth out the minus with a plus, get the other person to focus on the upside and view your relationship in a different light.

2. Unforgettable Jim Rohn – My favorite way that Jim Rohn suggests we seek learning is by spending time with wealthy people. Offer to take someone to lunch who is where you want to be someday and spend that time asking them questions. You might know the habits of successful people by heart, but hearing them from wealthy people themselves is a whole different experience that will change the way you see the world. Investing the time and money this and these other techniques requires will have long-lasting effects for good in your life.

3. Problem Solving – It’s crazy how often I feel like I need to resolve some big problem in my life when all I really need is one of the following:

1. A glass of water
2. A 10-minute walk outside
3. A good night of sleep

Three simple things that resolve many of the stresses and anxieties of daily life.

2 Stories, Quotes, or Case-Studies for this week

1. Before Purpose

Abraham Maslow says, “to even begin following your purpose, you must first meet your basic needs and work your way up the pyramid. The first category of needs you ought to fulfill is your physiological needs, like air, water, reproduction, shelter, and so on.”

2. Big Decisions

Spend more time making the big decisions. There are basically three really big decisions you make in your early life: where you live, who you’re with, and what you do.
