info_outlineToday its’ just Marcus and Rich on the podcast. They’re doing a 2019-year in review and checking in with each other to get some feedback on where they’re both at in their business and personal lives. They’re both highlighting some changes in their mindsets and uncovering some things they’ve learned about using their time more effectively and being more deliberate with their goals.
In this episode they discuss why your time is more valuable then you think, the importance of taking new opportunities, learning new skills at your job, and taking charge of your investments. Perhaps the most important thing they’ve learned in 2019 is that you have to enjoy the process of self-improvement and that your mental health is at the root of all your successes. If you don’t get your mental health right, it’s hard for the other things to fall into place.
Highlights:
- Marcus getting a new job and moving to a new city
- Starting a new job and having to learn new processes and procedures
- Dealing with imposter syndrome
- “Don’t be afraid to go after a new opportunity for 6- 8 months, it doesn’t have to be permanent”
- “Where you’re at today is the culmination of the past 10-15 years”
- Declaring side hustle income goals
- SEP IRA’s for business owners
- Making moves on your own, within your investment accounts
- Determining the hourly rate for your life
- Hiring help for the tasks that take up too much of your time
- Continuing Therapy and taking advantage of your companies “Employee Assistance Program”
Key Takeaway: It’s important to reflect back on your year and take note of your wins and loses. You can’t change what you don’t track, so write down those goals and improvement areas of your life, and crush them in 2020.
