Stress, anxiety, and fearing worst-case scenarios create a mind fog that makes it much harder to make strategic business decisions.

In today's episode, I speak with business owner Lorcan O Donaile on how he was able to get rid of the mind fog, develop a "happy NOW" mindset (as opposed to a "happy WHEN" mindset), and how that has allowed him to achieve his goals faster because of it.

Imagine waking up thinking, "not another day!" Well, that's how Brian felt before he reached out to me.

A lot of business owners think, "if I were more successful, had more money, and had a bigger team, I wouldn't feel this way." But, that's just not the case. The external never clears up the internal. Brian was already successful, was in a great financial position, and had a growing team. Yet, he woke up feeling, in his words, a 2/10 and frustrated.

I hope this episode encourages you to focus on what will truly move the needle: Your mindset.

Shiny Object Syndrome is something that plagues many high performers.

Shiny object syndrome can manifest itself as...

• Half finished projects. 
• Not finishing what you start.
• A lack of consistency. 
• A never ending list of ideas that you want to implement.
• Continually chopping and changing your goals or constantly changing your strategy.

In today's episode we unpack what causes this and more importantly, how YOU can overcome it.

In today's episode we're going to talk about 3 important aspects of goal setting.

I've set and achieved a lot goals in my career and there's no better feeling.

From those times, I realised there were 3 important keys that I needed to implement. They have been game changers for me and I know they will be for you also.

There are 2 "joy killers" that 99% of high-performers struggle with. Most of the time, they don't even realise they have it.

When you start to lose your enthusiasm, your energy and your positivity your performance starts to decline. Your brain literally finds it harder and harder to maximise your skills, abilities and strengths. To compensate for this you will have to dig into more and more willpower in order to get the job done. In turn, that process process requires increased stress hormones. To put it simply...  This is exhausting!

So we need to create a new way to maximise your performance  without needing to use all that willpower and burn up all that stress hormone. In this episode, I unpack the 2 main "joy killers" that you probably didn't realise you had in your mindset & what you can do to change it.

I really wanted to share one of the most important trainings that I’ve ever created.  There’s a reason why it’s so important. What I share in this episode is the foundation of all success and the foundation of having a rock solid mindset. 

Just a heads up, this training can be really confronting. So, if you’re not in a place right now where you’re fully committed to your goals, or you are not ready to make the changes necessary to have the kind of life you want then, just skip this episode.  

But, if you’re ready for some hard truths, and ready to lock in probably the most important mindset you can have, then you’re gonna het a lot out of this. For the rest of the episode you’re gonna hear the audio version of a video training that was previously only available to my 1 on 1 clients. I’ve had many clients tell me that they routinely revisit this very training every few months just to keep this mindset in check. 

Now, let’s dive in.

“A psychological pattern of doubting your accomplishments and having a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a "fraud" or “found out.”

Imposter syndrome is one of the most common causes of self-sabotage (getting in your own way). In today's episode, we unpack what it is, what causes it and how you can overcome it.

Imposter syndrome is not just something beginners face. Imposter syndrome shows up at every level of success, every level of leadership and every time you start a new venture. I've seen Olympic athletes struggle with it, multimillionaire business owners battle it and I've seen many people never go after what they really want because of the imposter syndrome mindset.

Stay Out Of The Drama Triangle.

All forms of success & fulfilment involve other people. Just like the saying "Where there's smoke, there's fire" where there's people there is often drama. 
 
The drama triangle is a really powerful model that helps you understand people and yourself. If you lead a team, have to manage clients or want to maximise your own mindset then this is an episode you’ll want to revisit and listen to again and again.

The drama triangle is a model with 3 positions. Imagine a triangle and at the top there is the role of PERSECUTOR or BULLY. Moving to the lower right of the triangle we have the position of the VICTIM. Finally, as we move to the lower left, we have the role of the RESCUER.

It’s a triangle with THE PERSECUTOR, THE VICTIM & THE RESCUER. 

If you can understand the roles that people play (including yourself) and you can learn to eject yourself from the drama triangle, then you’re going feel incredibly free, incredibly empowered and you’ll actually be able to help and lead people a million times better.

Having a vision for your life is incredibly important. It gives you direction, meaning, and it helps you maximise your life. 

In this episode we dive into “vision” but not in terms of how to create your vision. That’s fairly simple. It just takes some time and some thought to clearly define that. 

What I want to focus on in this episode are the 3 keys that a lot of high performers don’t think to implement. After 14 years of coaching high performing leaders and business owners I know that if you take this advice on board, you're going to save yourself a lot of pain and frustration.

As always, the information I share is designed to help you be more successful, more impactful and more fulfilled.

There are three things that high-performers put all their energy into. 

Being successful, being impactful (helping and serving people), and fulfilment (being happy and enjoying life). All good things. But, because of the pressure, the stress & the amount of work that needs to be done most high-performers put their energy and plan for only one of these three things. 

That is the major detriment that were going to talk about. It doesn’t sound like much of a problem but its the cause for a lot of pain, a lot of failing businesses and a major stumbling block to performing at your peak.

Success, impact and fulfilment. You can’t afford to only focus on one of these things. Let's dive in and I'll show you how to level up your life, leadership & business.

Stress creates a ceiling on how far you can go and how much impact you have.

As a high-performer, you will face stressful and challenging situations over and over again. Your ability to remain calm, clear minded and focus on solutions is going to determine how successful you are. 

As you’ll hear, I have the viewpoint that stress is something that can be mastered. I totally disagree with the idea that stress is just a normal part of everyday life and there’s nothing you can do about it. Yes, there's going to be challenges and set backs but what I’ve found for my self, and proven with others, is that no matter how difficult the situation there's always a way to  develop yourself to be more resilient and stay calm, clear and in control. 

When it comes to stress, this is our goal. Always be growing and developing our ability to handle what comes our way. When stress genuinely hits us (and it will), implement the right tools and tactics to meet the challenge head on and overcome it. We want the things that stress you out today to not even budge you in the future.

This will allow you to the go further, faster and tackle bigger goals and have a great impact. 

And, in this episode I'm going to share with you 3 keys that are going to help you do that.

Do you have any of these patterns? 

• Yo-yo motivation? You get excited about a new goal or project but a few weeks of being disciplined you start to lose focus or motivation.
• You have “avoidance behaviours.” Put off the big tasks or the most important tasks until tomorrow, until next week etc?
• Leave things to the last minute. Don't take action until the deadline and that’s when you get the most done.
• Do you beat yourself up a lot? Or do you feel like it's never good enough?

In this episode we’re going to unpack the root cause of this and give you some tools to fix it.
