Welcome to Episode 06 of Be A Game Changer: Winning the game of business and life! A series about taking action and playing this game to win, and play it well. A series that provides the light, the path, and your map to a better future!
Discussion guide from Episode 06: Winning the game of business and life:
1. First, Bill reminds us what it means to be a game changer.
2. Why is it so important to look at business and life as a game?
3. Why are we afraid of having fun doing business and living life?
4. Vitality is the key!
5. Business is a subset of life, and for game changers, they are intertwined, and their work fuels and inspires them.
6. When you see business and life as a game, you can make your own rules, and change them as necessary. Someone else’s rules, scripts, and formula might not work for you. Change it!
7. “Game changers resist the status quo because they want to have fun doing it their own way.”
8. What to do when you are afraid to challenge the company rules and policy?
9. This is NOT a zero-sum game. Just because there are winners, there does not have to be losers of the game.
10. Game changers thrive on the pressure that comes with playing a game. This is where legends are indeed made. And when you feel pressure, that’s a sign that something amazing could happen!
11. Game changers want to play, they want the ball. They don’t sit on the sidelines.
12. Most people are observers, not active participants.
13. “You might think you are playing the game, but you are probably not. You might be a piece on the board, but someone else is moving you around.”
14. If the game is easy, you need to play a tougher game.
15. You might also realize that you are playing the wrong game. And when you are the CEO of your own life, you can decide to play a different game.
16. The game should never end. The game should continue to challenge you. The game should be moving always forward.
