301: YouTube Advice That ACTUALLY Works w/ Vanessa Lau & Pat Flynn

The Think Media Podcast

NOTE

Embrace Stillness and Set Stakes for Success

Shift your focus from constantly needing to scale and grow, to being okay with stillness and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Instead of always being in survival mode, focus on building something great, which takes time. Find what motivates you by setting stakes and challenges that push you to the next level, fueling your drive to thrive.

And I wasn't motivating myself. Then the second shift that I had to make was really being okay with stillness. What is the rush of needing to scale and grow and grow every single year? And I think social media conditions us to feel like we need to be growing our social media channels, like 200% every single year, double it, same with our revenue. But is it okay to just chill and to reap the benefits, to actually enjoy the fruits of your labor? Instead of focusing on scaling a business and growing a business, why don't we focus on just building something awesome? And when you actually shift that mindset of building, you realize like building something great takes time and it's okay to just relax and chill and not every year needs you to be in survival mode. John,

here's what you need. One thing. Stakes. And I don't mean Porterhouse, New York. That kind of stakes. Those would be good too. Those are great. Yeah, yeah, that would, yeah. You need something at stake to get you motivated, because in the beginning, your life was at stake. That's what got you to move. But what got you here won't get you there. But if you don't know where there is, there is nothing at stake and without the drive, you cannot thrive. So you have to find the next level of something that provides stakes, a challenge that you could, with your experience and your knowledge, you could bring.
