More Episodes

Even at the end of a year as dramatic as 2020, James and Dean make a point to review their year, and the many power lessons learned.

 

The year 2020 isn’t one most people will soon forget, which means it was packed with lessons you can use to move forward in both business and life.

 

Tune into this episode to hear the biggest and best lessons James and Dean picked up during 2020. You’ll hear about better ways to accomplish goals, a product idea you may never have thought of, improving productivity, why James thinks Dean should self-isolate for life, and much more.

The Journal Exercise For People Who Don’t Like Journaling

 

Journaling is one of those things we’ve all heard is good for you, but not everyone sees the value in jotting their feelings down for half an hour. If this is a camp you fall into, tune into this episode to hear the two-sentence daily journal entry you can make every day, and the surprising results you get from doing it (including a product idea you may not have thought of).

How To Accomplish Big Goals Without Freezing

With all the talk of massive action, it’s easy to overlook the fact progress happens one small step at a time, too. Think of it like crossing a raging river. Yes, you can dive in and thrash your way across, but you’d get there a lot more smoothly with stepping stones.

 

Even a stepping stone that seems too small to bother with is still a step in the right direction. For example, if you want to work up to 100 pushups a day, start with one a day. It may sound stupid, as though it’s not even worth the effort, but remember that effort compounds.

 

Stepping stones also prevent you from freezing up when it comes time to take action on your goal, because they show you the path, and exactly how to get there.

Your Car’s Going The Wrong Way

You’ve set a goal, and you’ve put down your stepping stones. Your next step seems obvious, right? Follow those stones. Yet a crazy number of people don’t follow their own stepping stones, then turn around and complain that their goal is “unattainable.” It’d be like getting in the best, fastest car in the world, driving in the wrong direction, and complaining that the car’s a piece of junk. Focusing on the right things is how you get where you want to go. Tune in for tips on doing exactly that (including how James’ three-part productivity framework ensures you get where you’re going).

Choosing The Right Partnerships

Partnerships are a powerful and proven way to grow your business, but only when they’re the right ones for your business. When they’re not, then worst case scenario, your reputation and bank account take a serious hit. Best case scenario, you’re disappointed and waste your time. 

 

Before entering into your next joint venture, tune in to hear what to look for when considering who you’ll work with. You can’t fix crazy, but you can prevent yourself from doing business with it. 

When Your Expectations Aren’t Met

Entrepreneurs see possibilities where others don’t. We don’t believe in glass ceilings, and we set big expectations for ourselves, our businesses, and even other people. When those expectations aren’t met, disappointment is a natural result. If you don’t properly manage disappointment, it can send you into an unnecessary spiral. Instead of going down that path, tune in for tips on evaluating and identifying why your big expectations aren’t always met.
