We're excited to share the latest episode of The Bo & Luke Show featuring the incredible Olivia Atkin, Founder and Owner of Achieving Success LLC.
In this episode, Olivia dives deep into the power of mindset, decision-making, and personal growth. She shares valuable insights about how our mindset plays a crucial role in achieving success in any endeavor. Using sports as an example, Olivia emphasizes the importance of making quick and effective decisions, especially for leaders who want to make a meaningful impact.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the significance of identifying the available information and choosing the best option. Olivia highlights how players, including those on defense, train their mindset to understand their surroundings. Success and avoiding burnout involve not only recognizing the day's schedule but also understanding our personal strengths.
Olivia shares her strategies for tackling back-to-back meetings with energy and focus. She focuses on key takeaways and finds ways to stay energized throughout the day. We loved her dedication to her beloved Coca Cola as a source of inspiration.
In the episode, Olivia criticizes a leadership approach called "double down leadership," where leaders refuse to acknowledge new information and instead double down on their initial decisions. Instead, she believes that good leaders are those who can pivot and adjust their decisions when new information arises. She highlights the importance of recognizing that new information may require a change in direction and not beating oneself up for it.
Olivia also shares her own personal journey of starting her own business and leaving her corporate job. She emphasizes the importance of finding passion and giving back. Through coaching and podcasting, she has been able to help others in the podcasting industry and has experienced tremendous success. She believes that success comes from finding mentors and understanding what success looks like for each individual.
Finally, Olivia talks about the concept of always playing offense, never playing defense, and one day at a time. She admires people who can consistently move forward in all aspects of life and make the most of every opportunity. Finding harmony between work, personal life, and self-care is essential for achieving success and maintaining a healthy mindset.
We hope you'll tune in to this captivating episode of The Bo & Luke Show and journey with Olivia Atkin as she shares her wisdom on mindset, decision-making, and personal growth. Remember to take things one day at a time, keep your focus on offense, and give yourself grace in every decision you make.
