Winning Mindset to Stay Motivated Long-Term as a Business Owner
The Peak Performance coach Killian Markert is back again for the second of a two-part episode of The Ecom Show, and our very first live stream video!
Killian and Daniel sit down again to remind us why health, nutrition, sleep, and exercise are so crucial for a productive lifestyle, and what you can do to stay focused. Study up and learn from a genuine expert about:
✔️ Resources for learning what you need to know
✔️ The 4 Degrees of Consistency
✔️ How to effectively manage your time
✔️ Staying focused while you work
✔️ Separation of work and personal life
At Our Fingertips
40 years ago, one would have to walk down to the library, search the archives, hope a book was in stock, and then digest the information in a short time just to learn something. With the rise of the internet, we have more information than we could possibly realize yet we are overwhelmed by the choices and the distractions of the world.
Sitting down and actively studying something you want to learn is hard to do but incredibly rewarding, especially when you can shut out distractions and take notes.
4 Degrees of Consistency
These proven categories were shared by Killian to describe the different stages of consistency that are required to improve yourself. The lowest degree is finding the motivation to do something, which you can rely on only for a short time before you revert back to your normal practices.
You can discipline yourself to reinforce these motivations and stick to a plan, but you won’t find much success until you begin to build habits! These habits don’t happen overnight, they are set in stone after countless repetitions so you can do what you need to without even thinking about it!
The fourth and most powerful degree of consistency is realizing your identity. If you are an athlete, you train because it is part of your identity not because someone is telling you to or because you have to force yourself. It’s just what you do!
Time Management = Attention + Energy
Killian asserts that time management is incredibly easy to figure out if you realize the connection between energy and focus. You can have all the energy in the world but if your phone is ringing off the hook, you won’t be able to put that energy to good use.
On the other hand, if you are focused but neglecting your sleep routine and lacking energy, you also won’t get anything done. Killian argues that time management sort of falls into place once you account for energy and focus, although he still opts to use time scheduling to be more efficient!
There is Plenty of Day for Work and Play
Respect your work hours, and respect your personal time. Let clients or customers know when they can reach you and when you are not available. Even the most successful business owners cannot succeed when burnt out from exhaustion, and that is guaranteed to happen if you don’t set a boundary between your personal time and your work time.
Killian recommends setting ad blocker software and turning off notifications during the workday to avoid distractions, but he says you should do the opposite for your clients and emails when work is finished. A nice little daily “end of work ritual” is nice to remind you that work is over for the day, giving you peace of mind to enjoy your life.
