This morning when I woke up, I really didn't want to.  I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep.  The last week or so has been emotionally draining for a number of reasons and it would have been easier not to do ANYTHING today.  However, last week I Turned Pro...and Pro's don't give up like that.  In this episode I explain what happened today.

There comes a point in every productivity podcasters life where they need to make an important decision....no not that one (Turning Pro) - I've already made that one.  No, this decision is whether to take the hard road or the easy road.  Ironically the road less travelled isn't the hard road...too many make that choice.  In this episode I explain the crossroads I'm at and the decision I've made.

Here's an update on how I'm settling in having made the decision to Go Pro.  It's definitely a work in progress about the activities...but the Mindset shift is a step change and it's definitely complete.  

So today was the first day since making the Steven Pressfield inspired decision to "Turn Pro".  How's it been?  Well, listen in to find out.  Spoiler alert...there were no award ceremonies and no one but me really cared (or even noticed!).

Yesterday I talked about my reluctance/resistance to not fully committing to my current goals.  Well I'm still on the fence today.  So listen in, be prepared to shout JFDI at your device. 

Yesterday's episode was all about me realising why I wasn't making progress on my goals at the moment.  Fundamentally, I'd not made the decision yet.  I hinted yesterday that was all I had to do...decide.  Well in today's episode I explain why I've not made the decision yet.  This is probably one of the most honest episodes I've ever recorded.

It hit me last night.  It came clear to me what's wrong.  Why I'm not making the progress I want to.   I didn't like the realisation.  But it's not a new one.  I've thought this before.  Perhaps now I might do something about it... who knows.  What do you think? 

I was on a zoom call with my 90 Day Sprint coaching group today.  One of the other participants made a point of thanking me for something I'd recommended to him at our last session.  He had tried it.  He was amazed by what it revealed...AND he was astonished at how he became more focused as a result.  Listen to find out what I shared with him.  I challenge you to try it too.

Todays episode started off with nothing much to share.  However I quite quickly got into pondering on whether I'm missing something.  Confused?  Well listen in and let me know what you think I should do.

Today was my first full day back on the job after spending a couple of days at the spa.  Last week I set a series of activity goals to help move me towards the goal of my 90 day sprint.  On Sunday I reviewed my KPIs against those activities.  In this episode I share what I discovered and explain how I'm going to adjust my behaviours as a result.  Listen to this episode to find out how I did.

In this episode I share how I'm feeling now that I've returned from my short stay at a health spa.  We all know we should take time out for ourselves, but do we do it often enough.  As a result of my two days away I've come to my own conclusion about that and if you listen in you'll here my thoughts.  I also post you a challenge...for your own good of course.

I watched a video of a presentation given by a guy called Ian Stanley today.  He is reputed to be the world's number 1 e mail copywriter.  He was delivering a session at a marketing conference.  He's a funny guy with a great track record of success behind him.  The first half of the presentation was full of great ideas on email marketing.  However the second half focused on some very powerful personal development strategies.  You don't get to be responsible for over $100m in sales if you haven't developed yourself in ways you can share with others. I thought his message was so powerful that I wanted to share it with you.  Listen in to find out more.

I'm sure I've asked this question before on this podcast so it's not a new topic.  Well today I was caught between trying to be proactive but settling for reactive. I explained what happened and share some things I'm going to be experimenting with to keep me on the proactive pathway and off the reactive rails.  Listen in and let me know what you think.
