Manage episode 384881772 series 2652641
Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow grounded road warrior at this time, husband of one, father of five, and learning how to make time for personal and professional development to work on me while I’m now home ALL the time.
Taking time for personal and/or professional development is a lost art and one of the last priorities for most people.
“If you’re not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you’re determined to learn, no one can stop you.”
It requires the following from you:
Your Time - you need to carve out a period of time to invest in you and you alone
Your Focus - you need to be in the learning zone (aka: locked in / dialed in / no distractions)
Your Commitment - you need to be consistent
The 1st part of the Invest in You Formula is to Sharpen the Mind.
Key Phrase: "Think Putting Good Content In”
There are three keys to Sharpen the Mind:
Find the What
Find the Where
Find the When
The 2nd part of the Invest in You Formula is to Process the Thoughts.
Key Phrase: "Think Getting the Content Out”
THINK SPACE IS DEDICATED TIME TO DEVELOP AND PROCESS KEY IDEAS AND CONCEPTS.
PREPARE for Think Space
Concepts to think through – I now have the time and couldn’t really think of what I wanted to spend this time on, and I need a dedicated period of time to process.
Means of recording it – If and when an idea would come, I had nowhere to record it and had to leave it to my memory. Guess where THAT idea ended up!
Create the Right Environment for Think Space
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT DURING THINK SPACE
The 3rd and last part of the Invest in You Formula is to Monitor the Heart.
Key Phrase: “Think Checking In on You”
HOW DO YOU MONITOR THE HEART?
Learn to ask: “How am I REALLY doing?”
Learn to ask: “Who or what am I grateful for right now?”
Learn to ask: “What do I need to get out that I’m keeping in?
