    318. How To Be Awesome At Having A Succeed-Or-Die-Trying Attitude

    This podcast topic might seem a little extreme, but I honestly think it’s the difference between planners and doers. Between amateurs and pros.    It’s this attitude that I will succeed at this or I will die trying. Said differently - I won’t stop until it works.    Because everything takes a long time and it will eventually work if you try hard enough and do enough repetitions and fail enough and learn enough lessons.    Sometimes the original plan is what ends up working and sometimes you pivot 50 times and keep adjusting the plan until it’s the winning plan.    I think this way of approaching anything you want to accomplish makes it so much easier because it’s accepting that it will be hard and sometimes painstakingly hard. But it’s removing the… if this works or it might    It’s like … I’m all in going pro at this. It’s what I really want and I’m giving it 110% effort. I will succeed or I will die trying.     -Success is inevitable if you refuse to quit. Most people fail because they stop. If you keep going, you win by default. -It’s supposed to be hard—difficulty filters out those who can’t handle it. If it were easy, everyone would do it. The challenge is what makes success valuable. -The only way to fail is to stop.  As long as you’re moving forward, you haven’t lost. Keep adapting until you figure it out. -Skills and results compound over time—most people quit before they see the returns. The people who succeed are the ones who endure long enough for compounding to take effect. -Suffering is the price of greatness. You can either endure the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. One leads to success; the other leads to failure. -Successful people do the work even when they don’t feel like it. Motivation is fleeting. Discipline and consistency win. -Your mindset determines your outcome. If you truly believe you’ll succeed no matter what, your actions will reflect that belief, and success becomes inevitable. -Obsession beats talent every time. The most successful people are those who refuse to stop, not -There’s always a way—your job is to find it.  If one path doesn’t work, try another. Resourcefulness is more important than resources. -The greatest competitive advantage is enduring longer than everyone else.  Most people give up when it gets tough. If you don’t, you’ll be the last one standing—and that’s who wins.   CHEERS to charging towards your goals with this succeed or die trying mindset!

    317. How To Be Awesome At Saving An Hour A Day

    Most of us feel like we simply don’t have enough hours in the day to do all the things.  To do the things we WANT to do and also the things we HAVE to do.  Today we are talking through overall strategies we can use to make the most out of our days… and also very specific examples of ways you can do things more efficiently so that you simply have more time.  If we can eliminate decision fatigue, schedule specific times for tasks, do things faster, do things ahead of time, eliminate things that don’t need to be done and batch work similar items together - we will wind up with the extra time we’ve been looking for!   Let’s dive into all the ideas and find the extra time you need!  Let’s go!  One question that people ask me often is… how do you get so much done?  And it makes me so happy because I work at it constantly and I love talking about it.  So let’s do it.  Best tactical way to see where you are spending unnecessary time - for one week- keep a log of what you do every 30 mins.  Can be just a few words- but you’ll find out real fast where the lag is!  -Only touch things once  -Be ready for the day - clothes laid out, morning routine set (keep a list yesterday)  -Have a wind down routine and stick to it  -Have a plan for the day ready when you wake up. -It’s easier to avoid distractions and stick to the plan.  -If something takes 2 minutes or less, do it right away, don’t add it to a list.  -Batch similar items together. Answer your emails all at once.  -Have a system that you use to run your days.  -Limit decision fatigue with things like meals and getting dressed.  -Create a “home” for everything in your home. So much time is lost finding things. -Automate anything that can be like bills, etc. -Unsubscribe from emails you don’t need.  -Turn off notifications you don’t need. -Work on sprints for high focus. 25 mins on, 5 mins off. Pomodoro technique. Set a timer.  -Outsource or delegate- virtual assistant, babysitter time, grocery delivery.  And more specifically…  -On emails -On laundry -On groceries -On getting ready in the morning -On prepping for your morning- know what you will wear and eat.  -On household clutter - set a timer for 10 mins a day to declutter- then big piles never come up.  -On replying to texts and emails- use voice to text and do them twice a day.  -Set-up tomorrow the night before!  Setup priorities so you have a clear direction when you wake up and other people don’t decide for you how your day will go.  Episode 259 is a very specific one on how to save time by not running errands.  We live in the greatest time ever to be alive and there are just so many opportunities and so many ways we can be distracted and wander around or we can be hyper focused and productive.  Let’s work to find that hour a day then fill it with things that make us feel so fulfilled and awesome!

    316. How To Be Awesome At Becoming Unoffendable

    There is this incredible freedom that comes when you simply cannot be offended.   You have more inner peace, stronger relationships and just more joy in your days.    In order to never be offended by something someone says, I think we need to first put them in one of two buckets, then unpack from there.  They are either in your inner circle or not in your inner circle.    If they are - then you love them unconditionally and you know they aren’t perfect, just like all of us, and we have bad days or bad moments or less than ideal reactions.  Or we let our own issues come out and onto someone else.  You know the bond you have and the person they are at, at their core, and you aren’t going to catastrophise it.    And if they aren’t in your inner circle - it’s not worth your energy.  There’s no reason to put weight on whatever it is when they aren’t your do-anything-for-crew.     And here’s the main thing - we know that 90% of judgment or criticism or rude comments comes from peoples own thoughts about themselves… not actually about us. And it’s through the lens they see the world through.     It’s about getting to a point when your own opinion of yourself weights more heavily than anyone else.  It’s this deep confidence and ability to reframe the situation that is key.    I think it is totally a super power if you can get to where you simply aren’t offended… and that’s why we’re podcasting about it today!

    315. How To Be Awesome At Designing Your Days Using The 2.0 Habit System

    This podcast episode is a full education on how habits work and what experts say about the importance of planning and consistency and how to set yourself up to do the tiny daily things that support your big goals.    This is a walk through of the 2.0 Habits System that I created- so if you are already a part of our community - you’ll love learning more about how to really make the system work best for your life.    If you’ve thought about organizing your days this way or you just want to learn strategies about being intentional about how you spend your time- you’ll love this episode.    The 2.0 Method works over a long period of time because it includes the most important principles of behavior change. It takes what you already want to do and helps you create a system to do it and feel successful at it. We know that in 20 years we’d give anything to be this age again and this healthy and have this time.  There’s no more waiting to train for a marathon, start writing a book, lift weights- whatever it is.  There’s no perfect time to start anything - the perfect time is always today.  Let’s talk through the science behind what we do and use that knowledge to create the perfect plan for you. A lot of this is being 100% truthful with yourself. It’s about pushing through when it’s hard and knowing its supposed to be hard - that means you’re on the right track.    You’re going to get judgment as you change - even by people who love you - because it’s a reflection of what they are doing or not doing.    For more info on the 2.0 System or to join the community- visit this site:  https://lindsay-dickhout-7734.mykajabi.com/ultimatecourse   Most of us feel like we just don't have enough time each day and each week. We know what we want to accomplish but we just don't know how to get there. Or we have this story of why we don't have the time or resources to get there. When in reality, these are often hurdles that we've created that don't actually exist. Every Sunday, you will fill out your Awesome Week book for the upcoming week. You take our priorities and goals (from the Deep Dive sheets) and simplify them into daily habits that you do consistently. By planning out your weeks this way, you have a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one (like most people do). You aren't basing your days on the emails or text messages that you get, but being very clear about how you want to spend your time. Then during the week, you just have to follow the plan. Less distractions, less scrolling, less wasting time and procrastinating. It's fulfilling in the short term on the daily, and even more-so in the long term.   We know it’s a hundred tiny actions that make big things happen. (not one silver bullet) By focusing on the daily habits that move you forward, you stay focused (not distracted) and you feel fulfillment knowing that you are making progress each day. You make a strong plan on Sunday then throughout the week, all you have to do is execute. You’ve mapped out what actions you want to take to feel how you want to feel and be the person you want to be. Stick to the plan and you’re on your way to the best version of you, what we call 2.0.

    313. How To Be Awesome At Obsessing Over The Small Things

    This is one of those things that I wish I would have understood as clearly in my 20s and 30s as I do now in my 40s… but I guess that’s living and learning. It’s the understanding that the small things are what matters.  The small things we do or don’t do everyday.  It’s what Warren Buffet describes as the power of compounding interest.  It’s building a little snow ball and rolling it down a very long hill.  It’s slow then it’s fast.  This is my problem with the whole - don’t sweat the small stuff thing. I appreciate not having anxiety and worrying about every little thing but at the same time - when you give yourself a pass on the habits that would add up to the person you want to be - things like - making the sales calls, lifting weights, eating healthy, taking your supplements, doing regular doctors visits, having the uncomfortable conversations, avoiding toxic things in the environment and toxic people…  You miss the little things - that add up to the big things. We’re unpacking it today!  You wake up one day with a chronic disease and you’re like when did this happen?  It started 20 years ago.  When did this happen? It happened today!   It’s the TINY decision you decided to do or not do that didn’t seem like it mattered.  It compounds - and it’s almost invisible. It’s slow then it’s fast. That’s why it’s so easy to overlook the small things.  If you are competitive like me - know that most people overlook the small things - which gives you a competitive advantage if you obsess over the small things.  This mindset change is everything. It’s realizing that small actions - hundreds of small actions stack up over time to create big change.  Here are some examples across different areas of life: Personal Development    *    Reading for 10 minutes a day: Over a year, this adds up to about 12–15 books, enriching knowledge and perspectives.    *    Journaling one line of gratitude: Shifts mindset to focus on positivity and resilience.    *    Writing down one lesson learned: Helps build wisdom and awareness through reflection.    *    Practicing deep breathing for 2 minutes: Builds mindfulness and reduces stress, with lasting effects on mental clarity. Health and Wellness    *    Stretching for 5 minutes: Enhances flexibility and prevents injuries over time.    *    Taking the stairs: Improves cardiovascular health and builds strength in small ways.    *    Drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning: Boosts hydration and kickstarts metabolism.    *    Adding one vegetable to meals: Slowly shifts your diet toward more whole, nutritious foods. Relationships    *    Complimenting or appreciating one person daily: Strengthens connections and builds goodwill.    *    Spending 5 distraction-free minutes with loved ones: Deepens emotional bonds over time.    *    Sending a quick check-in text: Maintains friendships and relationships without requiring large time commitments. Professional Growth    *    Writing or brainstorming for 5 minutes: Over time, this can result in innovative ideas or improved skills.    *    Networking with one person weekly: Grows a professional network exponentially over time.    *    Learning one new word or skill daily: Adds up to 365 small improvements in a year. Financial Habits    *    Saving a small amount every day: Even $5 daily grows to $1,825 in a year, which can compound further with investments.    *    Tracking one expense daily: Builds financial awareness and helps identify patterns over time.    *    Skipping one impulse purchase: Redirecting that money toward savings or investments compounds into financial stability. Creativity    *    Doodling or sketching for 2 minutes: Enhances creativity and visual thinking skills.    *    Capturing one photo a day: Trains your eye to see beauty and inspiration in the mundane.    *    Writing 50 words daily: Adds up to a novel in a year! Remember it’s building a little snow ball and rolling it down a very longgggg hill!!

    312. How To Be Awesome At Not Giving Away Your Free Time

    When someone asks you if you can attend an event or party or get together, what’s the first thing you do?   You check if you’re free!  If you’re available at that day and time.  And then, if you are free, you’ll probably say yes.  How could you say no, you aren’t busy then.    This is where it happens!  We feel like we owe it to them to go, because we aren’t busy.  But we could end up spending that half a day doing something really fulfilling and invigorating, instead of going to the obligatory baby shower for our cousins friend.    I think we often feel like there just isn’t enough time in a day, because we are giving too much of it away!   This podcast episode is the best reminder of how precious your time is and the best strategies for deciding how you spend it.    Let’s go!    Here’s the deal with how you decide how to    If you don’t want to go, don’t go.   Alex Hormozi said- Just because you have free time, doesn’t mean that anyone who asks for it is entitled to it.    If you see that you have an empty day, mis people assume if someone asks for that time, its theirs.    Its only not theirs when someone else has claimed it    Which means that your time only belongs to other people.       And then you’re surprised that your investment of time has yielded nothing for you.    You’ve given your most important asset - your time.    Your calendar is the best way to tell where you are going to be in a year.   You can see by what you are doing today, what your life will look like in a year.    The life that you are living today is a result of the work you did 6-12 months ago.    Just like people want an immediate reward, they see their current condition as a reflection of what you’re doing today.  It’s not - it’s a reflection of what you did 6 months ago.    It helps you make better decisions with your time now.    Going to the gym is the best example!  The change isn’t immediate.  If you skip all of your workouts, you don’t see or feel it right away- but you do in 6 months.  It also works the other way.

    311. How To Be Awesome At Leveling Up Your Life With Four No’s

    Here’s how it works.  Every Sunday when you are planning out your week, you decide on what your four no’s will be.  These are things that you just won’t do.  It works so well because it’s not making this big list of things you have to do - like go to the gym for an hour a day, set aside time and a quiet space to meditate- while I love all things like that too- what we are talking about today is so much easier because it doesn’t require more time or energy. It just requires discipline and self control to not to the thing.  Here are examples…  Maybe you had the worst hangover last week - and it’s happened a lot lately and you’re over it - so one of your Nos would be… NO more than 2 drinks in a night.  Other examples…  No scrolling social media in bed  No eating past 7pm  No hitting the snooze button  All things that make you better- make you feel better, more productive, healthier.  I’m sharing my current four No’s and lots of examples to get you thinking about how you can set-up these rules in your life to help you get to exactly where you want to be.  Without doing anything at all, you just have to set limits and say no to things.  Why 4? 5 is too many and 3 is too few  My current ones: No distracted communication  No phone or social media or scrolling before bed or when I wake up  No food past 7 No eating at the fridge  Examples  No raising my voice  No fast food  No negative self talk  No negative talk about others  No refined sugars or starches  No checking emails constantly  No skipping breakfast  No clutter  No processed foods  No sitting for more than 2 hours at at a time  No eating in the car  No more than 2 cups of caffeine  No multitasking  No overcommitting  Here is a link to my 2.0 Habits System that I talk about:  https://lindsay-dickhout-7734.mykajabi.com/ultimatecourse Here’s how you figure out what yours are…  Just ask yourself, what would make your days better?  What would get you going to your goals faster?  It works in all buckets of life.  If you are distracted and not getting enough done, set limits there.   Many of my current issues are around food and eating right now.  But then those will regulate and they will be about other things.  The key is - making a promise to yourself that you will stick to it. And every time you do, its like a vote for the person you want to be.  It’s deep self confidence that nobody knows about, but you do.  You become a person that does what you tell yourself you are going to do.  It gives you strength in all areas of life.  When we let our emotions dictate our actions -  We have to be consistent to see change and this sets us up for that.  Emotions are changing and inconsistent.  So by setting up these nos - you creating consistency even when you’re emotions aren’t. Most people are going through life on auto pilot. If they are annoyed by something or feel a negative emotion or don’t feel 100%, they use it as an excuse to not stick to their standards.  They make bad choices and don’t do things that align with their goals and priorities.  Because it feels good now- but feel even worse later.   Now I over drank AND I broke a promise to myself.  Your emotions can’t determine your actions if you want to be extra ordinary.  We know that for sure.  Doing things this way, you choose what you know is right for you, regardless of how the day is going.  It helps you do what you need to do, even when you don’t feel like it. I tell myself, this isn’t hard… I don’t have to actually DO anything.  I can certainly just not do this thing. I’m all about FREEDOM and the crazy part is - freedom comes from discipline and structure.  And it helps us raise our standards for ourselves. These NOs become our standards.  And we keep these standards even when we’re tired or in a bad mood or whatever it is.  Set standards that make you proud of yourself using this system and accept nothing less.  As you move through the weeks, you’ll find that some of your 4 NOs become automatic and you replace them with 4 new Nos.  Things you decide you will not do, because you have this high standard of yourself. You just won’t break the promise to yourself.  And now you have this whole new set of standards that you have for yourself.  CHEERS!!  To designing your NOs to level up your standards and your life!
