Here I focus on a fascinating audio interview with Donnie Tuttle and Keziah Robinson. Donnie styles his interviews as “The Purpose Driven Executive”. Keeping positive energy is key to satisfaction with your results, and a happy life. I truly hope that’s why you do what you do! Keziah Robinson was Donnie’s recent interviewee, She talks about keeping positive energy.
Of course, I recommend you listen to the entire interview to enjoy the thread of her ideas. Once you’ve done that, you may want to go back and review some highlights. Below I’ve pointed some of those out at specific time-stamps. The first short description of each is the specific point Keziah makes. The added notes are my additions to the topic.
3:45 – Business is serving others.. Zig Ziglar said, “You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.”
5:30 – Avoid “playing small”. Take “massive action”.
10:30 – Scarcity mindset. Choose abundance instead. There’s plenty for everyone!
13:00 – Seeking perfection: Get it done! The last 10% of perfection usually adds very little value. It also delays your moving on to the next important thing.
14:45 – We get what we expect. Earl Nightingale: “We Become What We Think About”.
16:00 – Reluctance to change. Life is a process of evolution. Stay with it! On second thought, stay ahead of it! You can follow change…or you can create change!
18:00 – Purpose is productivity. You can be productive only if you know, with intention, what you want to produce.
21:00 – Avoid “Energy Suckers”.e.g.
- Pointless messaging by phone, email, social media, etc.
- Drop-in visitors, in your office or where you work remotely.
- Your own thoughts – stay focused on doing the next right thing. Ignore the “chatter” around you, and in the news.
30:00 – Delegate. Each team member adds value by what he provides – and by what she takes off your plate.
31:00 – Make people feel important. One of the most valuable concepts in business. This goes right along with the 3:45 comment above.
36:00 – Recognize your own value. Be your own best cheerleader. You’re worth it! Recognize, and celebrate, your wins, even the seemingly small ones! Each one moves the needle for you, and usually for someone else as well.
40:30 – At the end, whoever has the most friends wins! Your relationships define your life:
