1. Tool I’m going to try in an effort to make 2024 exceptional…
Entrepreneur, author, and a guy living an extraordinary life, Jesse Itzler, designed a calendar and concept called the Big A$$ Calendar. I bought it, we are going to use it, and I’ve posted a video below explaining a bit about it. You can get more info by clicking here.
2. Podcast I listened to this week…
I listen to a variety of podcasts in any given week. I always get SOMETHING of value for anything I listen to or read. This week, Lewis Howes’ podcast hosted James Clear, author of the great book, Atomic Habits. In just the first six minutes, I picked up three super powerful insights (I had to pull over and put them in my phone because I did not have a pen with me). It’s all about creating habits to help ensure greater success and a better life. You can listen to the podcast by clicking here. Perfect timing as we head into a new year, setting new goals, and trying to build better habits.
3. Personal growth/motivational video clip I re-watched this week…
As news of the deal between baseball star Shohei Ohtani and the L.A. Dodgers broke, disclosing that he will make $700 million over 10 years, I reflected on the importance of creating more value. The more valuable you make yourself to a company, an industry, or the world, the more you will get paid for what you do. Agree or disagree with Ohtani’s record-breaking contract, someone feels he is worth that crazy amount of money. A great New Year’s resolution would be to BECOME MORE VALUABLE! That means working on yourself. I re-watched a video with personal growth legend, Jim Rohn, explaining the concept of value and increasing your value. It’s about six minutes long, but worth watching. And catch my blog next week, titled “Creating More Value,” as I expand on creating more value, as well as share a short story about how this Jim Rohn video caught my daughter’s attention ten years ago.
