Igniting Souls Podcast With Kary Oberbrunner

My daughter was in this girl's basketball clinic recently. The coach gathered the girls together and told them that my daughter was going to throw two free throws. He told them they had a choice to either run two sprints right now and she doesn't have to shoot any. If she makes one and misses one, they have to run five sprints. If she misses both, they have to run 10 sprints. And if she makes both, they don't have to run any. Then he asked how many of them wanted her to shoot. About half of them raised their hands. The other have didn't think she could do it. She actually made both shots. But what a great lesson to teach these girls that they need to "bet" on their team mates. He's putting his players in game time situations. Are you "betting" on your team mates or even yourself? Do you think you can make the free throw?

My friend Lee talks about how if you ask a rookie on a football team what success looks like, he will know exactly what that means.

It was to ignite one million souls by 2020. But we've already achieved that, so now our moonshot is 10 million souls by 2020. How do you keep score?

A lot of people are dependent on other people's affirmations, but you might be setting yourself up to fail because you are connecting your success to someone else. Instead, encourage yourself.

We have amazing team members, and I am a big fan of keeping things open and transparent in business. You gain relational equity when you talk to someone in advance.

There are two ways to live. You either never have enough or you have more than enough. That includes time, attention, money, affirmation, and confidence. If you have the mindset that you have more than enough, everyone wants to be around you and work with you. It impacts literally everything. Which one are you?

Kindness is the key — even in the littlest things like merging in traffic. Team unity is so important. It's so easy to respond in anger, but when you respond in kindness it diffuses the situation. I was at Sky Sprout Summit recently, and I could tell the staff was working hard, so as a speaker I told them what a great job they were doing and thanked them. I don't always act with kindness, but it's one of the best business and life strategies we have. Your words are like water or gasoline. You get to choose which one to pour on.

Have you ever known someone who is not spontaneous at all. You can actually plan your spontaneity. I love doing new things. Getting stuck in a rut is not good. It literally makes us go on autopilot. When you add novelty, you get close to the optimal state of performance. Plan some spontaneity.

I just crossed the border and it didn't go well. Why? Because I wasn't confident when answering the guard's questions. She asked me where I live and I fumbled a bit because I was distracted.

The other day, my friend, Lee, walked into a grocery store. When he got ready to check out, there was a long line. Suddenly a woman turned on her sign, and he asked if she was open. She replied reluctantly. He told her that sometimes the start of the day is the best part. When they finished their encounter, she told him that she needed him today. Someone needs you today. Your light can help dispel the darkness. To find out more, go to https;//www.ignitingsoulsconference.com.

The other day I was talking to my friend, Lee. So many times in life, words are so powerful. We say I "got" to do this or that. Instead say I 'get to." Think of the things you have to do as a blessing or find someone else to do them. Dan Sullivan says, "Find your who," not your how. Find someone who loves to do what you feel like you have to do.

So many times, we want to factor out the human factor of sales. Automation is great but you need to be able to relate and understand your customers. When you become untouchable, they'll move on to someone else. never lose the ability to stay in touch with people.

Every day is an absolute miracle if you just look around and take everything in. We often miss out on so many things because we're dialed into our phones and our own world. Yesterday I had dinner with Dan Sullivan who is always focused on growing. Be around people who grow you and stretch you.
