Benchmark Yourself

July 25, 2016

This week it's all about a couple of great quotes that really impacted me over the last week. One is from James Schramko and the second is from Sophie Scott.

I start by exploring the importance of benchmarking yourself against yourself rather than setting up unrealistic expectations based upon what other people are doing. Sophie then helps us understand that if you really want to change some key behaviours then it's all about connecting to higher values rather than relying on willpower or pure effort.

I also share a couple of great quotes from Tony Robbins that I heard this morning as I watched his interview with Maria Forleo.

Today, as I recorded the podcast I was struck by the simple truth that people who build lives that they love and lives that help others have learned how to manage their psychology in simple but incredibly powerful ways. We all need to stop being victims to our thought processes and begin to step up and take action to direct our minds in ways that truly empower us. We don't have to passively sit by and let our fear-based thinking dictate the states we experience and the outcomes we achieve. I share passionately in this podcast about how we can create real change and I want to promise you that I am putting it into action in my own life.
