Igniting Souls Podcast With Kary Oberbrunner

Zig Ziglar coined the term Automobile University. Studies show that if you drive 12,000 miles a year that you can get the equivalent of two years of a college education in three yearss by listening to educational information in the car. This is something I started years ago — learning while I'm biking, mowing the lawn, etc. Find out more on how to invest in yourself at https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

One of our Igniting Souls asked how to get her book done after three year. I told her to say no to everything. She is now cranking it and is saying no to everyone. To find out more by getting your free book at https://yoursecretname.com.

So many of us compare our progress to others. When we do this, we disassociate and abdicate our power and influence. Is God putting a red wood size dream inside you? Big dreams require big roots. Remember that ti's not about how fast you go.

What do you want in the next year? I think many of us are scared to have a happy new year. We purposely don't want to get clear on what a happy new year looks like for us because we're afraid we won't meet our goals, and we know it will be painful. I just wrote out my goals for 2020. Some of them scare me. Some of them are edgey and confrontational. But if we're not clear and very specific on our goals, you're not going to achieve them. Share some of your specific goals in the comments below. And join us at the Igniting Souls Conference. Find out more at https://www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

I saw many clients who wanted to make things happen but they experienced distractions and self sabotage. I realized these people were getting hacked. So I went out on a mission and research how we could help people have ideas and ideate — to make them unhackable. Super achievers are the people who have figured out how to become unhackable.  Get Your Free Book at https://Elixir.KaryOberbrunner.com

I had a friend who was at a party with a Lexus dealer and instead of explaining the benefits of the car, he let him test drive it for the weekend. He gave my friend the actual experience. Consider how you can give people the actual experience in your coaching business because very few people have experienced coaching and may have some other ideas about what coaching actually is.

Switch tasking drops your IQ worse than being stoned when you do two cognitive things at the same time. It's much better if you work on writing your book for 30 minutes with the TV off than to write for five hours with the TV on.

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” - L.P. Jacks My friend and coach Chet Scott told me once that he was happy because he didn't have any place he "had" to be. If you find yourself saying you "have" to do things, consider it a sign that you may need to change your language or even your mindset.  For more on this topic, go to https://www.dayjobtodreamjob.com.

Some of us are actually scared of success and actually self sabotage. I believe your pain is supposed to be your platform. God often has to bring us to a desert. Do not despise the desert. Instead, look for the lesson.

Let's look at all the blessings and gifts we have on this Christmas Day. If we're not careful we take stock and inventory on all the gifts we have not received. But don't forget about the gift of health, food to eat and the fact that God loves you. You have a purpose. You have the present. Find something to be grateful for today. 

How many of you as kids have said, "abracadabra"? It means "I create as I speak." What if you are actually designed to speak and accomplish all at the same time? You can! I believe we are actually designed to be people that speak and accomplish all in one. Find out more at https://www.elixirprojectbook.com

When you compare yourself to other people, you leave your own life and disassociate. Depression is on the rise even though we're the most socially connected people on the planet. Remember that you are not taking action when you're disconnecting.

So many people I know are scared to say yes. We put so many conditions on saying yes. Yesterday, I had an idea that I know resonates with my opus so I was able to make the decision to go with it immediately. My opus is my filter. When you prepare for the moment, the moment is prepared for you. Be able to say yes and say yes quickly but only after you've done the deep work of authoring your opus.

Facebook is de-emphasizing pages and emphasizing groups. But be careful of certain Facebook Groups. Many times it's the blind leading the blind. A lot of people don't have their own success model so they blend a bunch of other people's models.  Before you listen to someone else, look at their life. Are they getting results? Choose the limited voices you want to listen to carefully in 2020.

Dan Sullivan teaches a concept — who, not how. When I learned that, it made me realize there were things we were doing that were robbing our business. Why? Because we think there is no one else who can do those things. As a result, we settle for average. It's not dumping. It's not delegating. It's finding someone who has that thing as their super power. It's addicting.

One of the things people need is novelty. My friend Dan Sullivan says that when people think they've seen or done something before, they're done. We as humans like variety. We're going to mix up The Daily Show in 2020. Check it out as we grow. I'm excited to have you on the journey with me. What new things are you doing in 2020?
