No Days Off with Brian Gubernick

In this episode, I am sharing a lesson that I have learned from past experiences, in both life and business. Making great decisions is a function of the number of options you have available to you. Having many different options to choose from will allow you to make a better decision and choose the best possible option. On the contrary, when you have limited options to choose from, you may become restricted in your ability to make informed decisions. Today's challenge: What decision do you have to make today when you don't have enough options available to you? What steps can you take to increase your number of options and thus increase your chances of success? -- Subscribe to our daily texts!

What's in it for me? This acronym, WIIFM, serves as a strategic approach to evaluate the significance of something and identify the advantages or benefits it offers to individuals. I share a couple of examples of how to use WIIFM in business and life: In business when you understand the WIIFM as it pertains to your clients or customers, you can have much more significant influence over their purchasing decisions. By understanding what they stand to gain, you can tailor your approach and effectively persuade them. This strategy can also be used for developing relationships - personal or professional. By grasping what others can gain from knowing you or collaborating with you, you can articulate those specific benefits to help them recognize the advantages of having a relationship with you. Today's challenge: As you go about life today, as you are speaking to other individuals, take a moment to ask yourself 'What's in it for them?' and get very clear around. How can you further leverage this WIIFM process in your personal and professional worlds? -- Subscribe to our daily texts!

In celebration of the 4th of July, I am revisiting a story about George Washington - George and the Cherry Tree. In this story, George receives a gift from his father, makes a questionable choice, and is later tested with telling the truth. At this moment, although George may have initially upset his father with the choice he made, his father was proud that his son told the truth. In the spirit of being honest, I share a phrase that I ask myself on a regular basis to remind myself to display truth and honesty in any situation. Today's focusing question: What's on your mind right now that you should consider being more transparent around? Would being honest today make for a better outcome in the long run?

However, rather than working on ourselves, I am focusing on how this topic pertains to our children. The topic: How to Stop Caring What Others Think My wife and I have two young daughters and as they are getting older, making more friends, and having more access to social media we have recognized that our girls can tend to get caught up in what others think of them. We have been working on how to coach and influence our girls on how to care less about what others think of them. Some of the areas we are working on include: Developing a healthy sense of self-esteem and confidence Recognizing their efforts and activities Modeling the behavior we expect of our kids Encouraging a diverse social circle Reminding our kids to focus on what they can control Today's focusing question: What can you do for your kids to help them care less about what other people think?

In this episode, I am talking about the concept of 'Day 1 Mentality'. One of my business partners, Chris Suarez, recently shared this concept with our team and it was an excellent reminder for me. The Day 1 Mentality refers to the drive, inspiration, or enthusiasm you experience the first time you do something. Think back about your first day of school, or the first day you opened the doors of your business. You likely experienced an overwhelming sense of Day 1 Mentality on these days. The importance of adopting and maintaining a Day 1 Mentality is vital in achieving success in anything you set out to do. On the contrary, Day 2 Mentality results in complacency. Today's focusing question: Where is your business or career at right now? Do you still have a Day 1 Mentality? If you are operating with a Day 2 Mentality, how can you reinstate a Day 1 Mentality? Who would you have to bring in or enroll to help with this? What projects might you need to take on? Apply these questions to your relationships, your health, your wealth, etc. -- Subscribe to our daily texts! Follow us on Facebook for more daily tips on how to improve your business and your life.
