Welcome to Episode 05 of Be A Game Changer: Owning The Present! Take action to win the game of business and life! A series that provides the light, the path, and your map to a better future!
Discussion guide from Episode 05: Owning The Present:
1. First, Bill reminds us what does it even means to be a game changer: Game changers influence results, and the game of business and life is different simply because they are there and engaged…
2. What does Bill mean by “owning the present?”
3. The present is ALL WE HAVE…but too many people are anchored in the past. And as a result, they can never actually get to the future…
4. Focused on the future means you are operating from fear. Focused on the past and you are operating with regret. They only time is NOW.
5. “Owning the present is the ONLY way to INFLUENCE the future.” How does that actually work?
6. You can only build a future through efforts in the PRESENT.
7. You have to know where you want to go, so that you can do the essential work in the present to get there…
8. The past can only give us excuses…
9. Fear distracts us from owning the present.
10. Only when you face your fear can you possibly own the present. You have to embrace your fear…
11. What does confidence have with owning the present?
12. Without a vision, you don’t know how to operate in your present.
13. Importance of awareness…and how do we improve that skill set?
14. You cannot be happy if you aren’t fully engaged in your present.
15. “Are you the kind of person you’d want to hang out with?”
16. “Stop looking in your rearview mirror…”
17. Belief is important, for, you cannot own the present without belief.
18. To be in the present, make it personal and authentic. You aren’t present if you aren’t authentic…
19. If you are a game changer, it is ALL personal.
20. You have the power to make things happen. And the present is the ONLY to wield that power…
21. Continued daily learning still matters to owning the present.
22. The role of meditation plays in owning the present…
