6 Months of 2024 Complete: Intensity x Frequency Connection

Lee reflects on the first six months of 2024, sharing his personal achievements, including running marathons and launching online courses, attributing his success to the intensity and frequency of his nine-month challenge. He discusses the importance of structure and rhythm in achieving goals, emphasising the concept of intensity times frequency equals connection. The episode concludes with a challenge for listeners to apply intensity and frequency to their endeavours for a successful second half of the year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Reflect on Your Progress: Take time to reflect on your achievements and progress at regular intervals, like at the end of six months, to see how successful you have been.

• Set Big, Ambitious Goals: Setting big, scary, and ambitious goals can provide the structure and intensity needed to achieve them, allowing for creativity and engagement throughout the process.

• Intensity and Frequency Create Habits: By combining intensity (strength of reason and feeling) with frequency (repetition), you can create new habits and connections, whether in personal goals or professional relationships.

• Strive for Connection: Building connections, whether with yourself, others, or within an organization, requires intensity and frequency to strengthen the bond and achieve common goals.

• Consistency is Key: Consistently applying intensity and frequency to important tasks or goals can lead to success and achievement, as seen in the example of training for a marathon.

BEST MOMENTS

"I absolutely believe that this has all been achieved through the consistency in my nine month to 100km challenge."

"Intensity times frequency equals connection. Connection is the first of the four C's, so connect, converse, calibrate and celebrate." 

"Whatever fires together, wires together. But the only wire together, if you do it continually and repeatedly, and you've got a strength of feeling, strength of reason, and then you do that repeatedly, it will then become habitual." 

"So last week we spoke about how we're connecting everything together from the bottom all the way through the top and connecting from a best perspective."
