CEO For Life

I'd love for you to go ahead and look at your network, who in your network has already made a change into that career that you can sit down and talk to I happen to be lucky in the case making the change from the corporate into being an entrepreneur and being in the commercial brokerage state. I knew quite a few people that had made that transition. So I was able to sit down and have meetings with them and talk to them about what is going What is it going to take in order to move into that new role? And I can tell you, the first thing they said to me is, you better be prepared to move from getting a paycheck every two weeks to really operating in you got to go out and make your paychecks how.

You should be asking yourself first and foremost, do I want a career change or a job change? That's very different. A career change is totally different than a job change, you may be sitting in the current role that you have and you may just not be happy with your team. You may not be happy with the current direction of the company. You may not be happy with the current promotion or acceleration schedule schedule that's in place you may not be happy with your boss. You may not be happy with the current audience or client base that the company has. Those are things that are more job related, those things can easily be changed.

How do you spend your time? Is it intentional? In order to identify the optimal schedule for yourself, the first thing you probably want to do hour by hour, you want to maybe take a week in journal at the end of each day, how did you spend your time and look at it in our blocks? How did you spend your time? First and foremost, you can't change something unless you understand its current state. So I'd like for you to go ahead and implement in the next five days is, take the time, at the end of every day, set a reminder for yourself in your calendar or set an alarm for yourself, how did I spend my day and actually go through your calendar? What did I do from seven to eight? What I do from eight to nine, nine to 1011 and 12. Do it for five days and then take in kind of more macro look at how am I going about scheduling right now. And then you can begin to identify what are some of the areas that you could then improve on? Because I'm going to give you some strategies here today that we're going to go over but unless you know what your current state of is how you manage your schedule, it's gonna be hard to institute changes.

Show me your calendar and I can predict your bank account balance. You put too much on your plate, you're going to wind up losing more time and producing less work. While I like to tell my clients is show me your calendar, and then I'm going to be able to show your bank account and so it works this way. If you have an empty calendar, I'm going to pretty much wager that your bank account is struggling as well. At the same time, a busy calendar is not a productive calendar. So having a full calendar of just a lot of items that are busy is not the same thing as being productive.
