Waking Up From Work Dave Swillum

E166:

 

As I’ve grown in business and creative over the years I’ve continually found value in finding mentors or education that make me get to a result faster. Today we talk about investing in  a result big to get big results. What stops us from doing it and what’s a scam? I talk on this short episode about ways to get to the result with other resources other than just money, how to gauge if it’s worth it, and how the roll coaster feels when you do with the reward at the end. If you want results you need to invest in them.

In This Episode We Cover

Investing in results
Garbage in is garbage out
What are you not good at? 
Easy to invest in what’s always been done, scary to invest in new
People are built to become better
Hesitation 
Investments we’ve always made but never feared are way bigger
The result is the most important 
Result over investing in anything
How to make sure you are investing in something that get’s the result not a scam
Compounding effect of lost/gained years

Today’s episode is a reminder for those working in what they love and a cautionary note for those going after it or thinking about it. When we start doing what we love as a business or a life style seriously it’s really easy to follow that professionalism and drive into an unhealthy space that ruins both for us. On today’s episode we speak briefly to keeping something available that doesn’t need to matter so you can keep that reason you got into what you love in the first place alive and spill it into everything you do. Let us know what you think @davewakeup or wakeupfromworkpodcast@gmail.com. 

 

In This Episode We Cover

Don’t lose the child like feeling
Why you got in to this in the first place? 
What is your F it is why I’m doing it thing? 
Preventing becoming jaded
Working to keep life in your creative
Doing the thing you started 
Separating pieces of you from your business
Separating the you from your creative

On today’s episode we are joined by Fabiana Claure focusing on a sustainable, abundant living as a musician and creative without the one to one ration of time in the equation. Fabiana brings insight on how to remove the “you” from the time without removing the you from your output to customers. We speak through bringing business to creative (I know I talk about it a lot), taking a brick and mortar remote, starting different income streams from your current gifts, and much more. Overall a great episode for anyone trying to live the life they want by design and share their gifts with more people for more income. Hit me up with your thoughts @davewakeup or wakeupfromworkpodcast@gmail.com!

Short episode talking on creation and the initial idea as the most important. If you have something holding you back from releasing something think back to some of your favorite songs, vacations, and other memories. Was it that their production and set up was perfect that made them impactful to you and amazing? The best things are the things that exist and the best initial spark that’s captured so make sure you release it. In this episode we speak through the process and getting action behind it. 

 



In This Episode We Cover

The best ideas are the idea not the production 
Why am I hesitating ? 
No one actually knows what they are doing 
Does this matter to stop this from being released? 

 

Quotes

 

“Things are as good as the things that are made for how they are relative to the people of the time.” - Host Dave Swillum
