Where to begin: tips for new or aspiring entrepreneurs – EMP055

Today I want to share some tips for new or aspiring entrepreneurs. I also dive into my own story so that you can avoid spinning your wheels or going down rabbit holes of distraction.

My main 3 tips are: 
1. Get very focused and define what you want to do. What’s the end goal?

2. Set huge goals in the area you choose. Know what numbers you need to hit. What does success look like? Take time to define that.

3. Surround yourself with mentors and doers in your space. Mimic them; don’t try to reinvent the wheel. They’ve already made and learned from mistakes that you will likely face if you go it alone.

Instant versus delayed gratification – EMP054

In today’s world, we want everything right away. As a millennial, I’m very guilty of this. I hate waiting for things, I’m impatient, I want everything now. However, it’s important to understand that not everything is instant.

Life is not like instant ramen where everything can be ready to go in less than a minute. Some things just take time.

When you say you’re going to do something, do it! – EMP053

Today I want to talk about how when you say you’re going to do something, you need to do it. I’m not sure when I started to be like this, but now when I make a decision, it’s like flipping a light switch: there’s no in between. I’m all in and completely dedicated.

You want to be known as someone who is consistent, persistent, and trustworthy. When you say you are going to do something, GO ALL IN. Commit, and give 110%.

You absolutely must check out this motivational video called “Never Quit.” Get inspired, get motivated, and attack your goals with a massive sense of urgency!

Free GoalTracker 2.0 Download

GoalTracker 2.0 is now available to download

Hey friend! I’m super excited to share GoalTracker 2.0 with you. This is something that my accountability partner Samir and I have been using daily to hold ourselves accountable to goals we set. We started off with GoalTracker 1.0, and you can check out that blog post here.

To be honest, we kind of fell off and stopped using it for awhile. A few months later, we agreed to revamp the file and get back on it. We even do weekly Accountability Calls every Sunday night now to check in, see what we went well, what we can improve going forward, and catch up. I really recommend you find yourself an Accountability Partner to make sure you do the things you set out to do.

Before I dive into all the details, I wanted to invite you to subscribe to my mailing list if you’d like to be the first to receive any cool content I come across or major updates in my journey that I’d like to share with you.



 

I really hate spam and unsubscribe from nearly every email list myself, so I’ll be sure to only share a few nuggets of gold that are 100% value and no BS.

Alright, let’s get back to the GoalTracker tool!

How to use GoalTracker 2.0

Download the file

Access and download GoalTracker 2.0 here.  It’s in a Google Sheet, so you can save one to your own account or download one to use on your computer directly. I recommend keeping it on Google Sheets so you can use it across platforms (I switch from my phone, to my iPad, and my computer throughout the day to make sure I keep it updated and stay on track with my goals).

Fill in the “Annual Goals” tab

Fill in your huge goals. It doesn’t necessarily have to be annual. Just be sure to fill in a target completion date so you know what you’re aiming for.

Fill in your weekly and daily goals in the first tab

The tab is currently named “Chris’ Goals,” but I encourage you to rename it in your version with your name and make it your own.

Select “win” or “loss” on the dropdowns next to each goal.

There are some formulas in there where points will automatically be calculated. If you win 3+ daily goals out of the 5, you “win the day.” If you win 4+ days of the week, you “win the week.” Obviously, the more days you win, the faster you’ll get to your goals. But I don’t expect you to be going 24/7/365.

You can chill every now and then, go on that vacation, and take a breather.The point is to be consistent and knock out your goals more days than you sit back and relax.

 

Consider getting an Accountability Partner to hold you accountable.

You’ll notice a tab called “Accountability Partner Goals.” I really recommend you find someone who is driven and motivated to succeed. Find someone who can hold you accountable and make sure you are knocking out your goals. At the same time, you can hold them accountable to their goals.

I have a weekly call every Sunday night with my buddy. We talk about what went well, what could have gone better, and we give each other advice and insight as we both have different backgrounds and experience. This allows us to level up so much more quickly and to get good ideas to try the following week.

Let me know what you think!

If you have feedback to improve this file or any comments, please let me know by posting below. Thanks for checking this out and remember to set huge goals that scare you! Take 30 minutes to complete this file, brainstorm big goals, and find an Accountability Partner. Then just spend a few minutes a day updating your daily goals and planning your day. Let’s get to work!

Stop saying the phrase “could have done” – EMP052

Today I want to talk about the phrase “could have done” and why I really hate hearing those three words in that order.

Instead of thinking “I could’ve done this or that,” ask yourself “what can I do in the future to do this better? How can I prevent a certain problem from happening again? How can I improve my situation?”

Asking yourself what you could have done gives you feelings of regret and probably brings up negative emotions. When you look at what you can do in the future, you invoke feelings of hope and positivity.

You can’t change the past. But you can act in the present to change your life today and shape your future.

Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast (EMP050) – Learning how to say no

Today I want to teach you how to say no politely. And how to know when to say no.

You need to be a little selfish sometimes. It’s great to help others out from time to time, but you cannot say yes to everything. Your time is precious. And let’s not forget very limited.

You need to surround yourself with people you’d trade places with. If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. Check out today’s show to learn how to connect with bigger players that will pull you up rather than bring you down.

Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast: Never Settle

Let’s talk about staying hungry and refusing to settle. When things get hard, do you throw in the towel early? Or do you dig in and get the work done?

There are no shortcuts to success! You’ve got to put in the work. Today’s episode talks a little bit more about it.

Here’s the video of that 3 year old doing a backflip in Mykonos… crazy, right?!

Here’s his brother, who I’m guessing is 5 or 7? I have no idea. I’m just utterly impressed.

 

Here’s my backflip. I wish I had recorded the first few attempts to show the progression, but this is proof that the backflip was done and the action was taken. When you say you’re going to do something, do it! Commit… take the leap. Make it happen!
