Recent Mindset & Business Notes
I’ve had the great privilege to hear from great speakers recently including Tim Grover and Jon Gordon. My unedited notes are below. Get to implementing! Hope this helps!
GoBundance (Tim Grover) & Other Notes (Matt King/Group Notes)
What happens to us is not as important as how we respond to it
Obsessive qualities make you good at things
Attraction rather than promotion / do it vs tell people - lead by example
To keep it, you have to give it away
Relationships compound faster than money
The magic you are seeking lies in the work you are unwilling to do
What’s your maximum output level? How many days do you NOT go ALL OUT? Next day isn’t promised to anyone. Are you going all out?
Burnout comes from distractions
Complacency is a mindset, becomes a habit
Start having a conversation with yourself every morning.
You are born relentless, then we are told to sit down, shut up, etc. everyone has it, just most of us are afraid to use it
How you handle your first trauma determines how you are going to be in life - run, ask for help, stand up to it - when you stand up to it that’s how you become relentless
Become obsessed with what you want
Get into a routine that feeds the obsession
Obsession disciplines your emotions
Kobe had an obsession with optimizing everything. When you are obsessed, every detail matters.
The people around you have to adjust their lifestyle to help you feed your obsession
You need a person who is selfish FOR you, to support your obsessions
Managing time (bad phrase- it’s about managing everyone else’s time) vs managing focus (you). Manage your focus, not your time.
They have it - they figured it out, you aren’t born with it, you have to figure it out
Talk less and do more
When you’re good, you tell everyone else, when you’re great, they tell you
You don’t find happiness, you create happiness
Happiness for one person is not happiness for someone else
Everything has a price - winning has a price
The most joyful thing you can be is authentic
Have a short memory for the wins and the losses
Matt King (CEO of GoBundance) Notes:
Who is your WHO? Wealth and investment management, estate management, family governance, philanthropy, entity administration, legal advisory, business consultancy, lifestyle and concierge services. Who is on your team?
Risk is simply a lack of knowledge and lack of control.
Have an investment thesis
Where are the opportunities in your business in the next 12-16 months?
Jon Gordon Notes:
Know: where are we going and why are we going there
Share vision and culture.
Have family meetings
Identify challenges and solutions
Big picture vision + why
We get burned out because we forget why we are doing it
When we know the why we figure out the how
Here’s the setback and here’s where we are going now
Always recite the vision and values at every meeting
Focus on the future, not the past
Focus on attacking a new opportunity
Pick one word for the year that will drive you to be your best. It’ll give you meaning and mission passion and purpose.
When you appreciate, you elevate
Identity is everything. Your word of the year gives you an identity
Your thoughts become your reality
It all happens through positive relationships
No one creates success alone
The whole goal of communication is to build community
In the void of communication, negativity will fill it.
Communicate to connect
Project Aristotle - best ideas and teams, best teams came from B teams where they had psychological safety.
The more connected you become the more connection you’ll have
Commitment - we, not me. Committing to others. We always have to go first as leaders.
There is a season for everything
Success journal at night - what was the one great thing that happened today? Identify the one success thing that happened today
What we look for, we find
Tell me something good. What’s not good, what’s going to make it good?
Fall in love with the process and stay in the climb
Fall in love with serving your people
People don’t leave companies they leave people
Are you truly living your core values?
Fanatical about their culture
Address the negativity that exists
Don’t tolerate energy vampires
One person cant make a team but one person can break a team
Small ego big mission
Tell the truth
Assume positive intent
