In our rapidly changing world, where information and options are abundant, it can be challenging to stand out and remain relevant. However, there is an exceptional position one can attain—the position of being so valuable that others won’t go elsewhere for advice or influence. This coveted status brings numerous benefits, including customer loyalty and personal significance. In this blog post, we will explore the statistics on maintaining customers versus acquiring new ones and delve into the profound impact we have as the one and only person in someone’s life, be it as a father, mother, or employer. The Importance of Customer Retention:According to numerous studies, maintaining existing customers is significantly more cost-effective than acquiring new ones. It has been found that acquiring a new customer can cost up to five times more than retaining an existing one. Additionally, increasing customer retention rates by as little as 5% can boost profits by 25% to 95%. These figures underscore the value of building long-term relationships and becoming the go-to person for advice and influence. Being the One and Only:In each person’s life, there are roles that cannot be replicated or replaced. As a father, mother, employer, or even a close friend, we hold a unique position that provides us with the opportunity to shape and influence others in profound ways. When someone considers us as the one and only person to seek guidance, support, or inspiration, it signifies the depth of trust they have in us. Father/Mother:As parents, we have an immense responsibility to our children. We are their role models, mentors, and sources of unwavering love. Research shows that children who have involved and supportive parents are more likely to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. The impact we have as parents is immeasurable, and by being there for our children, we become irreplaceable influences in their lives. Employer:In the workplace, as an employer or supervisor, we possess the ability to create an environment that nurtures and motivates our employees. When we genuinely care about their professional growth, well-being, and success, we become indispensable. Studies consistently demonstrate that employees who feel valued and supported by their superiors show higher levels of engagement, productivity, and loyalty. By being the go-to person for guidance and mentorship, we establish ourselves as a source of inspiration and stability in their career journey. Trusted Advisor:Beyond familial and professional relationships, there are countless other areas where we can become the go-to person for advice and influence. It could be as a mentor, coach, or a friend with whom someone feels comfortable sharing their vulnerabilities and seeking guidance. By providing consistent support, empathy, and wisdom, we become an invaluable asset in their lives, making it unlikely for them to seek advice or influence elsewhere. Becoming the one and only person in someone’s life is a testament to the value we bring and the impact we have on others. Whether it’s as a parent, employer, mentor, or trusted advisor, the trust and loyalty we inspire can be immeasurable. Not only does being the go-to person foster long-term relationships and customer retention, but it also allows us to make a profound difference in the lives of those we touch. So, let’s strive to become the invaluable individuals that others won’t go elsewhere for advice or influence, and in doing so, let us create a lasting impact on the people around us. ——————————————————— Follow me on Social Media Intagram Twitter YouTube FaceBook LinkedIn ———————————————————– Grab a Copy of My Books “The Stone Chiseler” “Push Play: Taking Your Life Off Pause” ——————————————————– Want to Improve always in ALL ways?  Please checkout The Vitruvian Lab, my personal training and coaching site for both live and on-line training for: Health and Longevity Mindset Optimization Behavioral Science Business Mentoring ——————————————————– Thank you for listening to The Jason Wright Show.

Calorie restriction, when done in a controlled and balanced manner, has shown a powerful impact on metabolic health. Research has demonstrated that reducing caloric intake can lead to improvements in various markers of metabolic health, such as insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, lipid profile, and inflammation. By consuming fewer calories, the body is prompted to utilize stored energy reserves, leading to weight loss and a reduction in excess adipose tissue. This reduction in body fat, particularly visceral fat surrounding vital organs, can significantly lower the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, calorie restriction has been linked to enhanced mitochondrial function, increased autophagy (cellular cleansing), and improved insulin signaling, all of which contribute to the overall optimization of metabolic health. While it is essential to approach calorie restriction with care and under professional guidance, the potential benefits it holds for metabolic health are undeniably compelling.

It’s all about the journey. Dr. Gus Vickery is an author, speaker and the founder and directing physician of Wild Health Asheville (formerly Vickery Family Medicine) in Asheville, North Carolina.

So what is it that makes the “Greatest Generation” so great? Well, I’m not sure I can tell you. However, James Fenelon’s new book “Angels Against The Sun” does an amazing job of illustrating just how great these men were during their time of war. I had so much fun visiting with James about his book that recalls the heroic story of the 11th Airborne Division and their role in the Pacific campaign of WWII.  Grunt’s-Eye View of Pacific WarfareThe Pacific theater of World War II pitted American fighting men against two merciless enemies: the relentless Japanese army and the combined forces of monsoons, swamps, mud, privation, and disease.General Joseph Swing’s rowdy paratroopers of the 11th Airborne Division— nicknamed the “Angels”—fought in some of the war’s most dramatic campaigns, from bloody skirmishes in Leyte’s unforgiving rainforests to the ferocious battles on Luzon, including the hellish urban combat of Manila.The Angels were trained as elite shock troops, but high American casualties often forced them into action as ground-pounding infantrymen. Surviving on airdropped supplies and reinforcements, the Angels fought their way across nearly impassable terrain, emerging as one of the most lethal units in the Pacific War. Their final task was the occupation of Japan, where they were the first American boots on the ground.Angels Against the Sun is an unforgettable account of the liberation of the Philippines. In the tradition of Band of Brothers, historian and former paratrooper James M. Fenelon offers a grunt’s-eye view of the war. This is a soldier’s history at its best. JAMES M FENELON is a paratrooper turned historian. He served in the U.S. Army for more than a decade and is a graduate of the U.S. Army’s Airborne, Jumpmaster, and Pathfinder schools. His previous book, Four Hours of Fury: The Untold Story of World War II’s Largest Airborne Invasion and the Final Push into Nazi Germany, was widely praised; the Wall Street Journal called it “inspired” and the Army Times called it “a riveting account.” He has written for World War II magazine, Military History, and other outlets, and served as a technical advisor for World War II documentaries. An alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, Fenelon and his wife live in the Texas Hill Country. ——————————————————— Follow me on Social Media Intagram Twitter YouTube FaceBook LinkedIn ———————————————————– Grab a Copy of My Books “The Stone Chiseler” “Push Play: Taking Your Life Off Pause” ——————————————————– Want to Improve always in ALL ways?  Please checkout The Vitruvian Lab, my personal training and coaching site for both live and on-line training for: Health and Longevity Mindset Optimization Behavioral Science Business Mentoring ——————————————————– Thank you for listening to The Jason Wright Show.

The pain-pleasure paradox is a concept that explains why people often choose short-term pleasure over long-term gain, even when they know that the latter will ultimately bring them more happiness. Procrastination, or the act of putting off important tasks in favor of more immediately satisfying activities, is a prime example of this paradox. Procrastination can be seen as a way to avoid the pain of doing something that may be difficult, boring or unpleasant. However, it is also a way to seek pleasure in the form of instant gratification. By putting off tasks, we get to enjoy the immediate satisfaction of doing something more pleasurable, like watching TV or browsing social media. This gives us a quick hit of dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, but ultimately harms our long-term goals. Interestingly, the longer we procrastinate, the more painful the task becomes in our minds. We build up anxiety and stress around the task, making it seem even more daunting than it really is. The result is that we feel even more motivated to avoid the pain, and seek out more immediate pleasure instead. Breaking the cycle of procrastination requires recognizing the pain-pleasure paradox for what it is and consciously choosing to prioritize our long-term goals over short-term rewards. This may involve setting specific, achievable goals for ourselves, breaking tasks into smaller steps, or finding ways to make the task more enjoyable. Ultimately, it comes down to recognizing that while procrastination may bring temporary pleasure, it ultimately leads to greater pain in the form of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.

Here are 5 ways to overcome fear:: Embrace the Fear: Embracing fear means acknowledging it and understanding that it is a natural part of growth and exploration. Instead of resisting or avoiding it, accept your fear and use it as fuel to drive your actions. Cultivate Mindfulness: Mindfulness is the art of being present in the moment, without being judgmental or reactive. Developing a regular mindfulness practice can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, and more easily manage fear when it arises. Visualize Success: Visualization is a powerful tool that can help you overcome fear by creating a positive mental image of your desired outcome. By visualizing success, you can reduce the impact of fear and increase your confidence to take action. Take Incremental Action: Taking small, incremental steps is a proven method for overcoming fear. By breaking your goals down into manageable tasks, you can gradually build confidence and momentum, and overcome fear in the process. Reframe Failure: Failure is a natural part of the learning process and can help you grow and develop. By reframing failure as an opportunity to learn and improve, you can reduce the impact of fear and take bold, decisive action towards your goals. Overall, remember that fear is a natural emotion that everyone experiences. By embracing it, being mindful, visualizing success, taking incremental action and reframing failure, you can overcome fear and achieve your goals. Who is Michael Gervais?
