Revisiting Your Life List
Ninja Selling Podcast
Portias Burn Oil - What Category Does It Go in for Me?
Garrett says he likes to drive his old portia. The car reminds him of being a young kid getting picked up from school in his dad's Portia. He also has an aginnis on his life list, which can be any type of Irish pub. Garrett: "You really need to ask yourself what category does this belong in?"
There's nothing quite like being sick for 12 days that will motivate you to review your "life list," and take stock of what you've accomplished so far. Garrett reflects on how this recent experience affected him, and shares his insight on what you can gain from revisiting your life list as well. Matt and Garrett explain how life lists tend to evolve over time, the four categories of a typical life list, and why you should give yourself the opportunity to dream big and let loose as you create your own.
Our hosts discuss the importance of focusing on what matters most to you, how your life list ties into your business plan, and why small goals are just as significant as the big ones. They also share some of their most fun and heartwarming life list items, and offer their best advice for how to get started on your own list of goals. This exercise is sure to motivate you to do more, do better, and grow as a person as you check off each item, and add more along the way.
