Episode notes
Go 'Shopping' to Stretch Yourself
- Go 'shopping' by visiting people and places bigger, better, and faster than you to stretch your thinking.
- Ask yourself: Where am I going, who am I seeing, and what am I doing to stretch myself?
Use Inspirational Dissatisfaction
- Stir up "inspirational dissatisfaction"—a positive dissatisfaction that motivates you to improve.
- Combine dissatisfaction with inspiration to maintain a healthy awareness that you can be bigger and better.
Set Stretching Goals
- Continuously set goals that stretch you beyond your current abilities.
- A goal that does not stretch you is not a worthy goal; aim for uphill climbs, not walks in the park.
