The Mind Of George Show

This episode is a masterclass on the four stages of competence. (Which are the stages we go through when learning new skills or changing habits!) The stages are: unconscious incompetence (ignorance), conscious incompetence (awareness), conscious competence (learning), and unconscious competence (mastery). I’m going to be walking you through how to move from ignorance to mastery in four simple steps.I also mention using models and frameworks, such as the Sacred Lightkeeper Quadrants and the Wedge of Expectations, to support the learning process.Press play and tune in to…Progress through the four stages of competenceStay consistent to move from conscious competence to unconscious competenceEmbrace mastery as an ongoing process with no finish lines in personal growth and skill developmentGet a complete understanding of how we learn and improve in different areas of your life!–We weren’t meant to do this alone… Whether it be business, relationships, or life.

“When any touchpoint or communication is focused on you and what you’ve done instead of them and what they’re about to do, you’ve already lost the game.”Take a moment to absorb that great quote from a conversation I had with my friend Karan Nijhawan where we talked about the power of relationships and the importance of depth and connection in events. We talked about the need to be a guide rather than a hero and to focus on the pain, the person, the problem, the plan and the benefit in event planning.We discussed how authenticity, connection and self-identity are key pieces to creating successful events and businesses. We highlighted the need to be true to yourself and stand up for your beliefs, even if that means being vulnerable and potentially facing criticism.Tune in and learn how to:Build deep relationships and connections in eventsBe a guide, not a hero, in your marketing and event planningStay true to yourself and stand for your beliefs, even if it means being vulnerable and facing criticismPrioritize depth in relationships and businesses; focus on quality over quantity for greater successEmbrace your true self, connect deeply with others and take action to create the life you want!You can connect with Karan on his Website, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube Channel–We weren’t meant to do this alone… Whether it be business, relationships, or life.

Today I bring you an episode full of insights, because I was inspired by Stephen Covey's book and I began to analyze the seven habits of highly effective people. I realized the importance of going back to basics and doing it with intentionality and consistency. How does this apply to your business? Because we all have the need for reinvention and adaptation in business and marketing.Grab your earbuds and tune in to:Focus on the basics and execute them with intentionality and consistencyRead to grow and transform, not just to learn.Reinvent and adapt in business and marketing.Practice continuous self-renewal and self-care.Remember that the important thing is to learn to evolve, renew ourselves and take continuous self-care!–We weren’t meant to do this alone… Whether it be business, relationships, or life.
