Who Cares About Your Haters?

Who Cares About Your Haters?

It doesn’t matter how good you are or how great you rise to be, you will always have critics. Some of the best in their profession still had critics – even when their work record was impeccable. Instead of being distracted by what others say and constantly focused on how you can win their approval, invest your time and energy to what matters more: your effort, your actions, & your attitude. Jake busts the myth that you can win that critic’s approval with “good enough” effort, and challenges listeners to stop being distracted by the unimportant and start dialing in on what matters most.

The sky isn’t the limit for this week’s guest, former Presidential appointee, entrepreneur, and author Laura Gassner Otting. Her most recent book is called Limitless and that’s the message she shares on today’s show.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Evaluate your own metrics of success Discover hidden potential within yourself Shed limiting beliefs based on others’ ideas of constraints Kick imposter syndrome and realize if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you Pursue projects that are in line with your ideals   Order Laura's book Limitless here.

Coach Randy Jackson: Culture Defeats Strategy

Coach Randy Jackson: Culture Defeats Strategy

Culture is key, in the locker room and the boardroom. Texas high school football coach Randy Jackson opens up in this week's episode on team-building and co-creating team culture to create a framework both players and coaches buy into. If a group has common goals and speaks the same language both on the field and off, they are primed for success, even if they don’t always win. The way to build that strong culture lies in having a dialogue with players and staff. People are more likely to want to uphold a structure if they feel they’ve been a part of creating it—if they have a stake in it and know why it is how it is. Just telling players why they should be a certain way falls flat, but if they have skin in the game, loyalty and drive follow not far behind.   Please leave us a review at: https://apple.co/2tMgSzZ Show Notes: http://bit.ly/randyjackson_ced Support the Show: Use code PODCAST to get 15% off your next order in the Compete shop here.

At Some Point, You Have to Just Do It

At Some Point, You Have to Just Do It

Sometimes we have to just do the work. Every big, audacious goal requires an investment from us. Sometimes it requires a large investment of time, like writing a book. Sometimes it requires courage to take the first step into a gym for the first time. And sometimes the goal requires we swallow our pride and start ugly, slow, or inexperienced. The investments are uncomfortable.  So instead of doing what we know we need to, we choose easy distractions and create excuses to justify their importance. We sacrifice reaching our true long-term goals for short-term quick-fixes that we talk ourselves into believing matter. You don't need the latest and greatest tools.

A Rant About Entitlement Culture

How did we get to this place? A place where people believe they're entitled to reaching their goals and a certain lifestyle because of simply who they are. A place where fans can be racist or offensive simply because they can afford courtside seats. A place where kids expect to start as true freshman - and when they don't, transfer. Most people spend more time complaining about what they believe they *deserve* instead of doing the work required to earn it.

Why Rest Days Still Count as "Competing"

Rest days are not the enemy. We get the idea in our head that "competing every day" requires physical exertion, that we have to workout or run in order to compete. I struggled with my mindset around rest days (honestly, I hated them). Learn in today's episode why you don't have to be working out every day to be competing, and how rest days are a crucial part to your physical - and mental - growth.

How to Compete Every Day For Your Career

How to Compete Every Day For Your Career

Every day is a competition. Except instead of someone lined up across from us on the sports field or the person next to us lifting a barbel, it’s with our ego, our comfort zone, and fear. It’s with the desire to simply “clock in and clock out” for 40+ years and waste a career while simultaneously wasting a life. But the good news is this is a competition you can win. The most successful people you know in corporate America have learned to compete at work and win each year. They take the same approach to their health, relationships, and mindset to build the career they want, instead of like most people, reluctantly accepting the career they have. Here are five simple ways you can invest in yourself and compete to build your career. Connect with the show: [email protected] Join the FREE Community here.
