Quartet #28: Three Questions to Ask Yourself Every Day, Bad Habits Holding You Back and More!
If you only have time to click on one thing this week I would make it #2. I found those three questions to be quite clarifying on a number of levels.
And without further ado, here are this week's ideas...
Quartet of the Week
1. Relax for the Same Result (2-min read)
I love me some Derek Sivers and this short blog post is great. Any piece that can have me questioning how I'm approaching just about everything in less than 500 words was very much worth the time.
He asks the question: Can we let up on the hustle and get close to the same results?
2. Three Questions to Ask Yourself Every Day (3-min read)
These questions from Max Bernstein are gold. He has them written down on a small whiteboard where he can always see them.
This link includes my very brief thoughts on how these questions help me move forward as an entrepreneurial musician.
3. 15 Bad Habits Holding You Back From Your Potential (3-min read)
This list from Sahil Bloom is great. #3 is the biggest mistake I see TEM Coaching clients make and most of them were trained to start making it in high school! This list is excellent.
(The link is to a LinkedIn post which for some reason you have to be logged in to see. I'm trying not to use Twitter these days but if you don't have a LinkedIn account you can also read this as a Twitter thread here.)
4. Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator (14-min watch)
This TED Talk is deeply profound but could also easily be followed by a 6-year-old. That is not easy to pull off.
The material is great and his sense of humor and presenting skills are top notch. Definitely worth your time (unless you are using it to procrastinate!)
This Week in TEM
There hasn't been a TEM episode in the past week because it's summer and everything is a little harder (for some very good reasons!)
I will be putting out another episode in the next couple of days and in the meantime can tell you that I am planning a group coaching offering for the end of the summer. You all will be the first to hear about it!
My Final Thought of the Week
Here's a quote to send you on your way:
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”
—Mark Twain
For some of you it is something really big and for some, something small. But there is a 99% chance that there's something you haven't started yet which you know deep down that you really should have.
(For me personally, see the group coaching thing I just mentioned!)
But you'll never get ahead if you don't get started. So get started!
Here's to staring that thing that's paralyzed us into inaction for whatever reason!
Cheers,
Andrew
