Thinking Big: Mindset, Habits, and Hacks

If you're like me, you probably have a lot of thoughts, notes, and ideas floating around. It can be tough to keep track of everything and know what to do with it all. That's where a knowledge management system comes in. A knowledge management system is simply a tool that helps you organize your thoughts, notes, and ideas so that they are more easily accessible and useful to you in the future.  My friend Jeff Brown is an expert on knowledge management systems, and he's going to share his insights with us on today's episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Jeff is an award-winning former broadcaster and his podcast, Read to Lead, has been nominated for Best Business Podcast numerous times. He is also the author of the book Read to Lead: The Simple Habit That Expands Your Influence and Boosts Your Career.  Through his Note-Making Mastery work, Jeff shows professionals and creatives like us how to more effectively organize, connect, and crystallize our ideas more so that we can make better decisions, achieve our goals, and live more creative and productive lives. I'm excited to learn from Jeff today, so let's get started. My Takeaways From the Podcast • Jeff's goal is to help other people get a grasp on taking notes effectively so they can put what they learn into action. • Jeff Brown saw the impact note-taking had on his work and began to share what he learned with his tribe. • Jeff shares that it is important to not just read books, but to take action on what is learned in order to make an impact. • Jeff's note-taking style influenced how he developed his own note-making system. I know you will enjoy this week's episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Remember to check out Jeff's work if you want to learn more about Knowledge Management Systems and how they can help you organize your thoughts, notes, and ideas. Thanks for listening!

You've heard that investing is important, but it can be confusing to know where to even start. On this episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, learn from Andy Gupta about how anyone can invest. Andy has over 20 years of experience on Wall Street and has successfully navigated three financial crises and economic recessions. He shares his time-tested investment philosophy and strategies so that you can learn from his successes and avoid costly mistakes. This is a must-listen episode for anyone looking to invest their money wisely! My Take Aways From This Episode: Andy grew up in Mumbai in a small apartment and experienced his parents fighting often, which led to a fear of being homeless. He won a scholarship to come to the US for college and ended up working five jobs while attending school. Despite not being from a target school for Goldman Sachs, he was determined to get an internship there. He eventually did, and it changed his life. After 20 years on Wall Street, he decided to walk away from the safety of a regular paycheck to start teaching others how they could invest successfully. People don't know where to begin when it comes to investing, which is the most common challenge people have. The market has been down this year and people are afraid to put more money into a sinking ship. Get To Know Andy Gupta Andy has 20+ years on Wall Street and has invested in over a hundred companies across geographic markets, navigating three financial crises and economic recessions successfully, including the worst recession since the Great Depression (2008-2009).  Andy made his way as a scholarship kid from India to Singapore, Lafayette College, and Harvard Business School. His years at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms helped him hone his time-tested investment philosophy and strategies, and he has a huge passion for helping others. Get Andy’s step-by-step guide on how you can figure out your own unique risk tolerance and goals. Most people don’t know how to do this and take more risk than they realize, and don’t reach their investment goals.

Jeff has always known that he had an obligation to share this gift with as many people as possible before he retires, he has now made it a personal mission to share these secret's as far as he possibly can. Twenty-eight years ago, Jeff came across the writings of the richest man to ever walk the earth, Sultan Musa of Mali. No one’s ever come close to this guy, not Jeff Bezos and not Elon Musk. The Sultan could not talk openly about how he learned these secrets, so he embedded the principles of his success in a fairytale so compelling that centuries later nearly everyone in the world is familiar with it. Jeff went from a $60,000 a year concrete guy to making hundreds of thousands a month in a new business that just dropped into his lap. Over the past 28 years, Jeff has successfully mentored and coached countless others to speak this all-important language that changes everything. When you learn to speak the Language of the Gods, you can drastically improve your sales, success, fitness, relationships and anything else you desire.

This week we get to talk with Michael Boly about the mindset of the Gen Z and how it is different than my generation “Gen X”.  Michael is a podcaster, entrepreneur, and mindset enthusiast, passionate about expanding his capacity to enjoy life, and helping others do the same. At age 22, Michael’s belief in the power of perception has helped him generate over 200K in sales across his ventures (while in college!).  Now he focuses on helping Gen Z create the life they truly desire through his podcast called The Wealth Mindset Show. My biggest takeaways from our talk are: Gen Zs are used to being judged and criticized online, which contributes to their scarcity mindset. One piece of advice for people outside of Gen Z is to understand that they’re coming from a place where they’re constantly being judged by others. The Importance of Work-life balance to Gen Zs So today we are thinking big about our success mindsets Connect with Michael Boly Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wealth-mindset-show/id1575152964 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68uBWbcN3kHJ41CxkRw5K6 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bolystories Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelboly/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-boly-9179a6187/ Website: https://wealthmindsetshow.com/
