YOUR MISSION DOESN’T NEED A MENTOR
The real power of these types of conversations is not that they solve issues for you but that they give you access to a realm of knowledge from which you can create solutions yourself; often immediately and easily.
A mentor isn’t needed for ordinary growth. As a living being, you will grow at your default rate one way or another, because the nature of life is to grow. Your mission doesn’t need a mentor…unless ordinary growth is no longer enough for you. If you’re ready to powerfully advance your service in the world, get a masterful mentor.
The most effective way to access the realm of What You Don't Know You Don't Know—to do it frequently and consistently— is through mentorship.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we give you Eight Attributes of A Masterful Mentor so that you can identify a mentor skilled in helping you leverage What You Don’t Know You Don’t Know for your accelerated growth.
THE GAME-CHANGING ACCELERATOR FOR YOUR GROWTH
The real power of these types of conversations is not that they solve issues for you but that they give you access to a realm of knowledge from which you can create solutions yourself; often immediately and easily.
Access to this realm of knowledge allows you to see what you’ve never seen before. This is the game-changer between slow, minimal progress and rapid growth.
In today’s issue of The Grip, we reveal this powerful realm of knowledge for accelerating success in your life and show you one way to start accessing right now.
Leading By Agreement
How would you like to increase the productivity of your business AND workability of your team while simultaneously minimizing frustration and friction in the process? The most powerful thing you can do to get this result is to stop leading by expectation and start leading by agreement instead.
Living FROM Rest
Rest is not a place to get to; it’s a place to come from. Regardless of which day of the week you designate as your rest day, I’d like you to start seeing it as Day One from which the following six days will be fueled.
Seeing your rest day as the start rather than the end of your week fundamentally shifts it from being a day to crash in exhaustion to a day intentionally designed to support your wellbeing.
Doing Weekly Rest
For much of my adult life I thought a three-hour Sunday afternoon nap was getting the job done; nice try, but no.
What does it look like to “do” Weekly Rest? Today I’m giving you a snapshot of how I intentionally rest each week.
It’s not a standard of “perfect” or the “right way” to do Weekly Rest. It’s an example of what is working really well for me right now.
When Was Your Last Day Off…Really?
There was a time I viewed weekly rest as optional.
Like many leaders, I prioritized getting quality sleep every night, but I was “too busy” to carve out a day for nothing but rest each week—who’s got time for that??
Then a mentor challenged me to experiment with it for a couple of months to see if it made a difference.
I choose to…BE CURIOUS
What do I notice—what do I experience—when I bring curiosity rather than judgment to people or situations I don’t like?
I choose to…LEVERAGE ADVERSITY
But the advantage won’t be obvious to your natural eye—it will be raw, rough, immature, and likely covered in shit.
I choose to…ACT NOW
There is no future in the realm of direct experience.
What you call the future is actually your next right now.
The Innovator Leader
Not all innovators are leaders, and not all leaders are innovators. As The Innovator Leader, you are uniquely both.
Stop Charging What You’re Worth
NO CLIENT OR CUSTOMER IS PAYING YOU FOR YOUR PERSONAL WORTH.
