Getting comfortable with this discomfort is crucial for long-term productivity gains.STRUCTURE AND FREEDOMDavid Allen elaborates on the five-step process's significance in creating freedom through organization, focusing on minimizing stress via structured planning (2m54).Key Takeaway: The five steps of the GTD methodology—Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage—are designed to create a structured approach to managing tasks and projects. This structure minimizes stress by providing clarity and a path forward for each task. Individuals can achieve freedom and control over their workload by organizing tasks into actionable steps and regularly reviewing them.OUTRODavid Allen shares his thoughts on maintaining composure during crises, suggesting that if handled correctly, crises can evoke a sense of serenity (3m50).Key Takeaway: Maintaining a clear head is essential in moments of crisis.

Think Process, Not Product: Show your process, the behind-the-scenes work, and how you make what you make. Sharing the steps and thought processes involved in your work makes it more relatable and exciting to others. It can also help you build a community around your creative process. 3. Share Something Small Every Day: Consistently share small bits of your work, including notes, sketches, and ideas. This habit keeps your audience engaged and allows them to follow your creative journey. It also helps you build momentum and stay motivated. 4. Open Up Your Cabinet of Curiosities: Share your influences and inspirations. Let others see what you find interesting. You provide context for your work and help others discover new ideas and perspectives by showcasing what inspires you. 5. Tell Good Stories: Learn to tell your work story and journey. People are drawn to stories because they create emotional connections and make your work more memorable. Developing storytelling skills can help you communicate your ideas more effectively. 6. Teach What You Know: Share your knowledge and what you’ve learned. Teaching can be a great way to connect with others. By explaining your methods and insights, you help others and reinforce your understanding and expertise. 7. Don’t Turn Into Human Spam: Be genuine in your sharing, and don’t overwhelm people with self-promotion. Authenticity is critical to building trust and a loyal audience. Share valuable content that reflects your true interests and passions. 8. Learn to Take a Punch: Be prepared for criticism and learn how to handle it constructively. Criticism is a natural part of sharing your work publicly. Use it as an opportunity to learn and improve rather than letting it discourage you. 9. Sell Out: Don’t be afraid to sell your work. Make it easy for people to buy from you. While sharing for free can build an audience, it’s also essential to recognize the value of your work and provide ways for people to support you financially. 10. Stick Around: Stay consistent, keep working, and share. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and persistence is essential in any creative endeavor. You increase your chances of long-term success by continuously sharing your work and staying engaged with your audience.About Moonshots Podcast:The Moonshots Podcast is your go-to source for unleashing the best possible version of yourself.

Welcome to a transformative episode of the Moonshots Masterseries, where we dive deep into the practical application of the "Circle of Influence." In the following 1000+ words, we'll explore how understanding and expanding your circle of influence can profoundly impact your life and guide you toward extraordinary achievements.Become a Moonshot Member https://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsTaking Control of Your Life: A Journey BeginsOur journey begins with a collection of inspiring clips to fuel your motivation to take charge of your life. Life often throws challenges our way, but how we respond to them is entirely within our control. As the saying goes, "It's not about what happens to you; it's about how you react to it."Clip 1: "Get the Losers Out of Your Life" (2m19)In life, we encounter a diverse range of people, some of whom may not share our goals or values. The first step in expanding your circle of influence is recognizing the importance of surrounding yourself with individuals who support and uplift you. As motivational speaker Les Brown advises, "Get the losers out of your life." By doing so, you make room for positive influences that propel you toward success.Clip 2: "Start Singing When You're Up to Your Neck in Mud" (2m12)Former Navy SEAL Admiral William H. McRaven reinforces the idea of controlling your reactions, even in the face of the most challenging situations. He reminds us that it's during times of adversity that our true character shines. So, when you find yourself in difficult circumstances, remember to "start singing when you're up to your neck in mud." Your response to adversity can significantly impact your circle of influence.Clip 3: "Embrace Confidence" (2m)Renowned author and leadership expert Robin Sharma emphasizes the importance of self-confidence. To expand your circle of influence, you must first believe in yourself and your abilities. As Sharma aptly puts it, "Embrace confidence." This self-assurance will not only enhance your personal growth but also inspire others to follow your lead.The Circle of Influence: Understanding the DynamicsNow that we've explored the foundation of taking control of your life let's delve into the concept of the Circle of Influence. This concept, popularized by Stephen R. Covey in his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," provides a practical framework for assessing where you invest your energy and attention.Clip 4: "Inner Circle" (2m45)Covey divides the Circle of Influence into two distinct areas: the inner circle and the outer circle. The inner circle represents the realm of things you can directly control or influence. This includes your thoughts, actions, and responses to various situations. To maximize your circle of influence, focus your efforts and energy within this inner circle. By doing so, you can effect positive change in your life and the lives of those around you.Clip 5: "Outer Circle" (1m40)On the other hand, the outer circle encompasses factors and events that lie beyond your immediate control. These may include global events, other people's actions, or natural occurrences. While it's essential to be aware of these external factors, dwelling on them excessively can be counterproductive. Covey reminds us that reactive individuals often spend too much Time in the outer circle, leading to frustration and a sense of powerlessness. To expand your circle of influence, focus on what you can control, and let go of the rest.Clip 6: "Tips to Stay Focused" (3m15)As we navigate our journey towards a broader circle of influence, productivity expert Janis provides valuable tips on staying focused. In a world filled with distractions, maintaining focus on what truly matters can be a challenge. Janis shares practical strategies to help you stay on track and make the most of your inner circle. Remember, productivity is not about doing more; it's about doing what matters most effectively.Clip 7: "Mindset Matters" (1m15)The influential YouTube channel Fearless Soul reminds us that our circle of influence extends to the people we choose to spend time with. Who you surround yourself with greatly impacts your mindset and, consequently, your actions. As they wisely state, "Mindset matters." By selecting positive, growth-oriented individuals as part of your inner circle, you reinforce your commitment to personal development and success.Clip 8: "Carry Your Weather with You" (1m15)Returning to Stephen R. Covey's wisdom, we explore how to take responsibility for your moods and emotions. Covey advises us to "carry your weather with you," meaning that we have the power to control our emotional responses to external events. By acknowledging this power, you can maintain a positive attitude and emotional resilience, even in challenging circumstances.Putting It All Together: Your Path to Greater InfluenceSo, how can you practically apply the concept of the Circle of Influence in your life to achieve remarkable results? Let's break it down into actionable steps: Identify Your Inner Circle: Take a moment to reflect on the aspects of your life that are within your control. This includes your daily routines, habits, attitudes, and choices. Recognize that you have the power to shape these elements to align with your goals and values. Reduce Time in the Outer Circle: While staying informed about external events and factors is essential, avoid dwelling on those you cannot influence directly. Shift your focus away from things beyond your control, as excessive attention to these matters can lead to stress and frustration. Choose Your Inner Circle Wisely: As Fearless Soul wisely advises, be selective about the people you allow into your inner circle. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you, fostering a positive and growth-oriented mindset. Develop Emotional Resilience: Embrace Stephen R. Covey's wisdom by learning to control emotional reactions. Practice maintaining a positive attitude and emotional equilibrium, even when faced with adversity. Your ability to "carry your weather with you" can be a game-changer. Stay Focused on What Matters: Implement Janis' productivity tips to stay focused on your most important goals. Prioritize tasks that align with your inner circle of influence, and remember that quality often trumps quantity in productivity. Believe in Yourself: Robin Sharma's message of self-confidence is vital. To expand your circle of influence, you must first believe that you have the capability to effect positive change. Confidence is contagious and can inspire others to follow your lead.

The Power of Complacency: Mel Robbins addresses the common habit of telling ourselves and others that we're "fine" even when we're not genuinely content or fulfilled. She argues that this complacency prevents us from recognizing and addressing the issues holding us back from achieving our goals and happiness.2. The Five-Second Rule: One of the book's central concepts is the "Five-Second Rule." This rule suggests that when you feel an impulse to act on something that could positively impact your life (e.g., starting a new project, speaking up in a meeting, working out), you have just five seconds to take action before your mind talks you out. Counting down from five and taking immediate action can break the inertia and build momentum toward positive change.3. Overcoming Fear and Anxiety: Robbins addresses fear and anxiety's role in keeping us in our comfort zones. She provides strategies for overcoming these emotions and reframing them as natural responses to new challenges. Understanding that fear is necessary for growth allows readers to embrace discomfort and move forward.4. Identifying Goals and Priorities: The book encourages readers to identify their desires and priorities. Through introspection and self-assessment, Robbins helps readers understand what they want to achieve personally and professionally.5. The Importance of Action: Mel Robbins emphasizes the significance of consistent action towards our goals. She warns against waiting for motivation to strike and instead suggests adopting a proactive mindset to achieve lasting success.6. Building Confidence and Resilience: Robbins discusses how taking small steps and celebrating minor victories can help build confidence and resilience. Individuals can maintain their motivation and drive towards more significant achievements by recognizing and celebrating progress.7. Accountability and Support: The book emphasizes the importance of accountability and having a support system to stay on track with personal growth and change. Robbins suggests seeking like-minded individuals or mentors who can offer guidance and encouragement.Buy The Book on Amazon https://geni.us/ZjbIGet the summary via Blinkist https://blinkist.o6eiov.net/q4y4rLBecome a Moonshot Member https://www.patreon.com/MoonshotsWatch this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/36UFNDfCruwOverall, "Stop Saying You're Fine" is a practical guide to breaking free from complacency, embracing fear, and taking charge of one's life to create meaningful and fulfilling experiences.

This enables them to optimize operations, streamline processes, and reduce expenses.5. Independent thinking: First-principles thinking encourages independent and critical thinking. Entrepreneurs who adopt this approach are less likely to be influenced by groupthink or common assumptions, allowing them to explore unique perspectives and stand out from the competition.6.

By embodying strength and resilience, we can face life's challenges more effectively and command respect from others. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping: This rule encourages self-care and self-compassion. Peterson advises individuals to take care of their physical and mental well-being as they would care for someone they love. By recognizing our worth, we can better contribute to the world. Make friends with people who want the best for you: Surrounding ourselves with positive and supportive individuals can significantly impact our personal growth. Peterson suggests seeking relationships with those who genuinely care about our well-being and aspirations, fostering an environment of mutual encouragement and growth. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today: Instead of falling into the trap of constant comparison with others, Peterson suggests focusing on personal improvement. By evaluating our progress based on our past self, we can set realistic goals and appreciate the journey of self-development. Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them: As a clinical psychologist, Peterson advises parents to set boundaries and provide structure for their children. Parents can help their children grow into responsible and respectable individuals by instilling discipline and teaching them values. Set your house in perfect order before criticizing the world: This rule emphasizes the significance of taking personal responsibility for our lives and surroundings. Peterson suggests starting by improving oneself and addressing the chaos within before attempting to bring positive change to the world. By cultivating order and meaning in our lives, we can become forces of positive transformation. These are just the first six rules, and Peterson's book contains many more principles and insights for navigating the complexities of life. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Time to build your mental toughness with "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. * Become a member https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots *For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse coloured his days and haunted his nights.

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition.  He tried three times to accomplish this goal  Learning from each attempt  Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge  Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do it Four pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - David Goggins ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Our final step in the wisdom series is here with a bang! One of the most influential books ever written is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945, Frankl laboured in four camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known of logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we find meaningful.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Join us for another instalment of our wisdom series, where we delve into "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy.

He argues that by accessing and controlling the power of the subconscious mind, we can overcome negative thoughts and beliefs, achieve success, and improve our physical and mental health.The book provides techniques and exercises for accessing and influencing the subconscious mind, including visualization, affirmations, and autosuggestion. Murphy believes that by consistently using these techniques, we can tap into the vast potential of the subconscious mind to bring about positive change in our lives.Overall, "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" is a self-help book that promotes the idea that we can shape our reality and create the lives we want through the power of our thoughts and beliefs. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow: If you’ve felt hours fly by like moments or marvelled at a sunrise you’ve experienced flow. In fact, it’s a state we experience surprisingly often, at work, at home and at play. Mihaly’s Flow  explores how we can experience enjoyment in our lives by controlling our attention and strengthening our resolve. This is achieved by being immersed in an activity or subject that makes us neither anxious, nor bored. In this “flow state” we lose our self-consciousness, selfishness and sense of time. Using goal-setting and immediate feedback, we can achieve a state of flow that improves our relationship with work, increases our self-worth and gives our lives meaning.“The best moments in our lives occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult or worthwhile.” Mihaly ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Shane Parrish and Rhiannon Beaubien’s The Great Mental Models: Is designed to upgrade your thinking with the best, most useful, and powerful tools so you always have the right one on hand. Mental models help you improve your decision-making, productivity, and how clearly you see the world. You will discover what forces govern the universe and how to focus your efforts so you can harness them to your advantage, rather than fight with them or worse yet— ignore them. The old saying goes, "To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." But anyone who has done any kind of project knows a hammer often isn't enough. The more tools you have at your disposal, the more likely you'll use the right tool for the job — and get it done right. The same is true when it comes to your thinking. The quality of your outcomes depends on the mental models in your head. And most people are going through life with little more than a hammer. Until now.Upgrade your mental toolbox! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

To master anything, one must first master themselves–one’s emotions, one’s thoughts, one’s actions. In Ryan Holidays: Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius, and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance. At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

66% of small businesses fail, and it’s not for the reasons you think. So why do they fail?  That is what Darren Hardy set out on a mission to discover in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster. What he found was startling. All the previously reported reasons and assumptions for the failure rate (capital, location, credit, inventory management, and competition) were wrong.Failure was not due to outside factors--they were internal. They weren't economic--they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly. When you challenge without caring it's obnoxious aggression; when you care without challenging it's ruinous empathy. When you do neither it's manipulative insincerity.Author Kim Scott was an executive at Google and then at Apple, where she worked with a team to develop a class on how to be a good boss. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her approach to effective management, Radical Candor. From the time we learn to speak, we're told that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. When you become a manager, it's your job to say it--and your obligation. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In our next series on Ryan Holiday, we dive back into Ego is the Enemy to answer questions about what to do when the biggest obstacle is internal. Holiday explains how finding early successes led him to the realization that ego can cloud ambition and hinder personal and professional growth, particularly when accomplishments are tied to self-worth. Ego Is the Enemy puts forth the argument that often our biggest problems are not caused by external factors such as other people or circumstances. Instead, our problems stem from our own attitude, selfishness, and self-absorption. In other words, introducing ego into a situation often prevents us from being rational, objective, and clear-headed. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Happiness is not the belief that we don't need to change; it is the realization that we can. Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we'll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow.

To whet your appetite for the upcoming Isaac Newton show we wanted to reshare one of the great problem solvers, Albert Einstein - enjoy! A lot of people think that Albert Einstein’s greatest ability was his mathematical mind, but Einstein’s greatest skill was the ability to sift the essential from the inessential — to grasp simplicity when everyone else was lost in the clutter. Problems are an integral part of everyday life. So is problem-solving. But where people differ is in their ability to solve problems. Problem-solving has a synonym today, especially in the corporate world — fire fighting. Up to 70% of employees’ time is spent ‘fire fighting’. They spend more than six hours a day grappling with problems that should not exist. Imagine what organizations can achieve if hundreds or thousands of employees get these hours daily to work on something constructive!Some problems should be solved. Some problems should be left alone. Some problems should not exist at all. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dan Harris the Author of 10% Happier and Nightline anchor embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. We all have a voice in our heads. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice that there's nothing we can do to rein it in, but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that.10% Happier takes you on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene and leaves you with a takeaway that could actually change your lives. What will you learn? How to deal with stress more effectively, mindfulness, and how to meditate. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Between the training and three attempts, Goggins did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance Goggins showcased the power of repetition.  He tried three times to accomplish this goal  Learning from each attempt  Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge  Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do it Four pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - David Goggins ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Cal Newport doesn’t like the distractions of technology. In fact, Newport thinks that our focus on technology and how it dominates modern business is holding us back. His book, A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, takes a sledgehammer to how technology runs the modern enterprise and, ultimately, our lives. The idea is not to jettison email but to make it smarter. Instead of the back and forth, you get collaborative tools. You don’t even need to be a business owner or work in tech to have some of the messaging resonate with you, and stay with you long after you have finished. A World Without Email invites you to scrutinize how useful these tools are in your lives and reflect on the best practices. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Deep Work by Cal Newport is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It’s a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a superpower in our increasingly competitive twenty-first-century economy.  Yet most of us have lost the ability to go deep—spending our days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there’s a better way.Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

66% of small businesses fail, and it’s not for the reasons you think. So why do they fail?  That is what Darren Hardy set out on a mission to discover in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster. What he found was startling. All the previously reported reasons and assumptions for the failure rate (capital, location, credit, inventory management, and competition) were wrong.Failure was not due to outside factors--they were internal. They weren't economic--they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Shane Parrish and Rhiannon Beaubien’s The Great Mental Models: Is designed to upgrade your thinking with the best, most useful, and powerful tools so you always have the right one on hand. Mental models help you improve your decision-making, productivity, and how clearly you see the world. You will discover what forces govern the universe and how to focus your efforts so you can harness them to your advantage, rather than fight with them or worse yet— ignore them. The old saying goes, "To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." But anyone who has done any kind of project knows a hammer often isn't enough. The more tools you have at your disposal, the more likely you'll use the right tool for the job — and get it done right. The same is true when it comes to your thinking. The quality of your outcomes depends on the mental models in your head. And most people are going through life with little more than a hammer.

A lot of people think that Albert Einstein’s greatest ability was his mathematical mind, but Einstein’s greatest skill was the ability to sift the essential from the inessential — to grasp simplicity when everyone else was lost in the clutter. Problems are an integral part of everyday life. So is problem-solving. But where people differ is in their ability to solve problems. Problem-solving has a synonym today, especially in the corporate world — fire fighting. Up to 70% of employees’ time is spent ‘fire fighting’. They spend more than six hours a day grappling with problems that should not exist. Imagine what organizations can achieve if hundreds or thousands of employees get these hours daily to work on something constructive!Some problems should be solved.

You don’t even need to be a business owner or work in tech to have some of the messaging resonate with you, and stay with you long after you have finished.
