Description
And today's Monday minute question. I was on a hike today. I was doing a two hour hike. Out in nature, connecting. And this is a question that I answer for myself every single day.And so in the morning, what I ask myself is, am I an asset or my liability? Am I an asset or liability to myself? Am I an asset or a liability to my family? Am I an asset or liability to my team? And them, am I an asset or a liability to my customers? And it's a really, really important question to ask. Now I'm going to talk about me personally, because that's the best thing I can do. I don't talk about other people because I'm just working on my own stuff every day. You guys are taking this journey with me and so. It's really easy for me to tell when I'm being a liability to those around me, I'll hear things say to me, like I'm uncertain of the future, or I feel like you're repeating a pattern or I don't feel safe right now, or everything feels frantic. And I get that feedback. I've gotten that feedback many times and it's something I think about. And it's really easy when I get that feedback to plug in and be like, wow, I'm being a liability. I'm a little ungrounded. I'm unclear. I'm distracted. But what I try to spend my time doing is preventing that feedback from coming. And so I set my thinking time is Keith Cunningham calls that every day, my morning, writing time, whatever that question is, whatever that time is that you call it to check in with myself every morning before I do anything. And I ask myself, am I being an asset or am I being a liability? If those around me feel unsafe from being a liability, if those around me feel uncertain, I'm being a liability.If those around me feel safe, secure, clear, driven supported, motivated than I'm being an asset. And these are feelings that will come and go just like the weather. And there are times where I will be like the Terminator in my practices as an entrepreneur, a business owner, a husband, a father. And then there'll be times that I will be like a lost puppy. But the key here is awareness and the fastest path to success, the fastest path to shifting is awareness.And so when I ask myself every day, is, am I being an asset or liability? I want you to ask yourself that during this week, I want you to write it down. I want you to take a peak and be like, Oh, I'm being alive. How? Oh, reactive. I'm having knee jerk reactions. I'm unclear in my communication. Pause. What can I do to rectify that? Let me take some me time. Let me plan better. Let me get up 20 minutes earlier to set my mind. Let me go for a walk. Let me go take a breath and let me come back and be an asset. The most important thing that we can do as entrepreneurs as humans is, and you pick your role, husband, father, CEO, CMO employee, employer pick whatever role it is that you want in your life.The only role that we really have is to be a hundred percent responsible to ourselves and ensure that everything that we're doing, we are moving ourselves forward and leading and being the example. And it's a really easy game to play when we can look at ourselves objectively and be like, Oh yeah, Yeah, that's probably not ideal. I should do it different. Oh yeah. I'm being a liability right now. Like the other day I was looking at my wife and I could see her energy was a little off and I looked on like, Hey baby, just ignore what I am saying, I'm just being a whiny little baby right now. And. I had to like really check in. I went for a walk, I got clear, I did some breath work. And I realized that like, I was really disconnected. I was ungrounded. I was afraid of the world and some other things. So I plugged back in for a minute, got crystal clear, got to work and everything shifted. But as entrepreneurs, as business owners, our job as humans, our job is to be a mountain, to be a rock or in this case to be a lighthouse that stands strong and solid and shining that light out.So you have to take some time and you have to ask yourself ov
