177. Avoid Repeating Mistakes: Weekly Preview Pt. 2

Episode Transcript

Verbs Boyer:
Last week we started our Weekly Preview miniseries by taking a look at the weekly Big 3. Where are we headed next? Where are we headed next? Where are we headed next?

Courtney Baker:
That was pretty good.

Verbs Boyer:
All right, so-

Courtney Baker:
Verbs is good at this. Much better than me.

Verbs Boyer:
This is from being an only child in my early years and having to entertain myself. All right.
So Courtney, last week we started talking about one of our favorite parts of the planner. I commonly call it the secret sauce of the whole Full Focus system. We started talking about the Weekly Preview, and it was the first installment of a miniseries. And we took a look at the weekly Big 3, but where are we headed next for this week?

Courtney Baker:
Yeah, today we are going to be talking about the after action review section of your Weekly Preview. And again, if you’re not familiar with the Weekly Preview, it’s really the opportunity for you to reflect on the past week and help you plan for the current week coming up. The Weekly Preview is really going to help you accelerate your goal achievement and really be more productive. And the reason that you’re more productive is you’re going to be able to do less of what’s not working and more of what is working.

Verbs Boyer:
So the after action review is really at the heart of that whole process, and we’re going to dig into that right now.
Welcome to another episode of Focus On This. This is the most productive podcast on the internet, so you can banish distractions, get the right stuff done, and finally start loving Mondays. I’m Verbs, here with Courtney Baker. Happy Monday, Courtney. Happy Monday, Nick.

Courtney Baker:
Happy Monday.

Nick Jaworski:
Happy Monday. Did you see my version of dancing?

Verbs Boyer:
I did see it.

Nick Jaworski:
Even my mom was a dance minor in college, whatever, is just to shake my shoulders like this. This is-

Courtney Baker:
What-

Verbs Boyer:
Does shimmy… Is that the idea?

Courtney Baker:
Did he just drop a… I did not, Verbs. Did you know that he was an dance major?

Nick Jaworski:
No, no, no. My-

Verbs Boyer:
I was going to go back to that.

Nick Jaworski:
No, no. My mother was a dance minor in college.

Courtney Baker:
Your mother?

Verbs Boyer:
Still.

Courtney Baker:
I thought you said you were. I was like-

Nick Jaworski:
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Verbs Boyer:
But if you remember, Courtney, to be clear, but if you remember, Nick did mention a few episodes back that his family, they do have dance parties. Is that a weekly thing?

Nick Jaworski:
I’m going to be honest, we have not done them in the last, we’ve kind of dropped off on that, but it is still on our calendar. But we did do dance parties very consistently for years. And so we should bring it back, especially when the baby’s around. I feel like that’s going to be, the dance party is a great way, that’s how it started when I was living, when I moved back to St. Louis, and I lived with the family that had a baby. We used to do dance parties. We just go around.

Courtney Baker:
This is why we need to be, not careful or maybe careful, but it’s like once you say something on the podcast-

Nick Jaworski:
Oh yeah.

Courtney Baker:
People-

Verbs Boyer:
It remains.

Courtney Baker:
It’s forever. For example, y’all know I had Covid a couple months ago, and my Peloton riding had just crashed and burned for two full months. It’s been a struggle. And so people have been like, hey, how’s a Peloton? I’m like, I’m not talking about it right now.

Nick Jaworski:
Everyone on this podcast should know that I love Focusmate. It’s a platform that allows you to set a time to I’m going to do some specific work I have, and it matches you with a focus mate where they also have specific work they want to do, and you tell each other what you’re going to do, and then you get it done. So in terms of efficiency and productivity, focusmate.com. We don’t make any money off this, but it’s great. I’ve been using it for four years now. In the last week, I have run into two separate people who have recognized me from this podcast on Focusmate. So I want to give a shout out here to Vicky and Rick. Hi Vicki and Rick, if you’re podcast listeners. It was very funny.

Verbs Boyer:
Cue the applause and hand claps.

Nick Jaworski:
One of them was like, wait, he showed me he, Rick had finished his, Rick, I hope it’s okay that I share this. At the end of the session, you say what you’ve done. Oh, here’s what it did. Here’s what I got done. And he’s like, oh, I finished my planner or my, I don’t know if he was doing a daily page or not. And he showed me his planner. And I was like, oh, I didn’t know that you were a planner user. And I showed him mine. And then he goes, wait, are you the Nick? And he starts going like, oh, you’re him. And he’s pointing at me.

Courtney Baker:
That is amazing.

Nick Jaworski:
And so it was very, I’m glad that I was nice to him before we figured that out. How bad would that have been if-

Courtney Baker:
Nick, why don’t you go get Focusmate to be a sponsor of our podcast?

Nick Jaworski:
I would love, okay.

Courtney Baker:
Okay, do it. I dare you.

Nick Jaworski:
Okay. Anyway, so hi to Vicky and Rick. Hope your 2023 is crushing it.
Everyone else, you can get shoutouts here on the podcast if you go to Focusmate or if you go to the Full Focus Planner community.

Courtney Baker:
Wait, wait, don’t tell them now. Wait till they’re a sponsor and then-

Nick Jaworski:
Oh yeah.

Verbs Boyer:
All right, Courtney, walk us through which questions actually make up the after action review in the weekly preview.

Courtney Baker:
Yeah, this is a great process actually for a lot of, you can use an after action review for just about anything, an event you just did, a project you worked on, a tough conversation that you just had with your spouse, whatever. This is a tool that can be used. But we built this into the Weekly Preview process so that you can learn from the week. So many times we just, we’re just going, and it’s easy not to stop and take account. And so the way that this works is there’s a series of questions that it walks you through. The first question is, what were your biggest wins? And Nick, Verbs, you know me. My favorite question, it’s just so easy. I just start talking about all the wins.

Verbs Boyer:
Not. Yes.

Nick Jaworski:
All you do is win, right?

Verbs Boyer:
All you do is win. That was perfect. Nick, you get the trophy.

Nick Jaworski:
Thanks. I know Blake’s not here, but I know three things.

Verbs Boyer:
Picking up the slack. Yeah.

Courtney Baker:
Yeah. If you’re like me, this is something that a lot of achievers sometimes struggle with. You’re just onto the next goal, the next thing, that it’s hard to stop and sit in the things that you accomplish to give yourself credit for how far you came the week before. And so this first step is really powerful. It’s also really intentional to put you in a positive mindset as you’re going through the entire Weekly Preview process. All of these steps are really intentional and thought through in how they work in this system. So don’t skip this first step of what were your biggest wins.

Nick Jaworski:
It’s also, I think for a lot of people, the hardest question to answer because we are very hard on ourselves.

Courtney Baker:
So hard on ourselves.

Nick Jaworski:
And so it seems like the kind of thing that you could also skip, and it wouldn’t matter. You’re like, ah, it was a good week.

Courtney Baker:
Right.

Nick Jaworski:
Whatever, but if you don’t stop, I’m not trying to sell out my own kid, he’s 13, and I often am like, I need you to stop and hear the great things that are happening. I really have to stop his brain from moving forward because he does a lot of great things, but he can’t hear it. And I’m sort of similar in that way too. So it is important to stop and slow down and just write them down and then you can go back and review them and feel, we’re not all Courtneys, winning not all winning all the time.

Courtney Baker:
Guys, if that is them impression that I’ve given y’all on this podcast, good for me.

Verbs Boyer:
The two months off, she’s been humbled by the two months off of the Peloton bike.

Courtney Baker:
Yes, I am now failing all the time. I have been working out. I’ve just been going to my neighborhood. We have a little spot in front of my neighborhood.

Nick Jaworski:
Do you want to tell everyone where that is, and they can meet you there and hold you accountable?

Courtney Baker:
Yeah, it’s called [inaudible 00:08:43]. Yeah.

Verbs Boyer:
But if I can say this real quick before we move on to this next question, I think that’s the beauty about, that is the secret sauce behind the Weekly Preview is if you find it hard to really identify or just recognize wins because you are moving so quickly, once you get into the habit of consistently doing these Weekly Previews, there’s less thought that has to go onto it. If you are actually writing down the goals that you set at the beginning, you can kind of just go back to that week before, see how you did, and there’s going to be something that you actually accomplished that you’re going to find. Whether it’s a big or a minor win, a win is a win. And so I think it’s important for us all to remember even the smallest accomplishment. You’re moving the needle. So go ahead and make sure you give yourself credit for that.

Courtney Baker:
Hey, full disclosure, y’all want to know the level of this last week? My two-year-old had the flu, and in my wins, I put that I navigated that week successfully. That was a win. It was hard. I know that doesn’t sound like the most exciting thing, but it actually was. I mean, those, sometimes we have weeks like that, that are just hard, and navigating them is the win.
Okay, so question number two, is how far did you get? This is the point where you’re going to review the progress that you made on your weekly Big 3 from the week before, and this is the part that you actually get to give yourself partial credit. This is where we’re going to measure the gain, not the gap. This is a philosophy that was popularized by Dan Sullivan.
So as you go through this, you’re going to say for each one of those weekly Big 3, a percentage of how far you got towards completion. So it’s not a yes, no, but rather how far did you get? Again, you’re not going to be setting your weekly victory for the next week yet. You’re just evaluating how you did for last week.

Nick Jaworski:
To connect this to future sponsor Focusmate, at the start, maybe I figured this out by the time this episode airs, at the beginning of each session, you have to say, I’m going to do 1, 2, 3 things or whatever. And actually, and then something invariably comes up, someone’s kid comes in, or they get a call from work, or something takes longer than they think. And actually, this is a thing that I say to my partners after the session. They’ll go, well, I didn’t quite get number three done, or I didn’t whatever. And I’ll go, you have to measure the gain, not the gap. And if you hadn’t been here, none of it would’ve happened. So you got to be happy and celebrate that. And it is very, they’re like, thanks, man. They’re very excited, encouraged by that. So you should be just as kind to yourself during your Weekly Preview.

Courtney Baker:
Nick, if Focusmate does not sponsor this episode, I will add a section to my planner that says how the ways that Nick has failed this week.

Nick Jaworski:
Oh, I thought you were going to say add a Big 3 where it’s destroy Focusmate.

Verbs Boyer:
Question number three, what worked and what didn’t? Courtney, a couple months back, we were talking about the Weekly Preview, and we were talking about this question. You brought up a great point that when you’re writing down what actually didn’t work, it actually helps you notate what you could actually focus on trying to find a better solution for that next week or going forward. Which at that point I never really thought about it like that. It was just kind of noting this didn’t work. We’ll come back to it later to figure out what a resolution could be for that. But here’s what did work, so we’ll just keep doing that.
So I just wanted to say that to underscore that, but we have to note that these questions or notice that these questions take the emotion and the accusation out of the equation. It’s just very practically asking, hey, it’s not about what should have happened or what we should have done, but it’s more about what actually happened and what actually didn’t happen. What’s the facts of the matter? You’re noticing what’s working for you and what is getting in the way, and that way you can address that properly.

Courtney Baker:
Something else that you could think about when you’re on this section is specific to your goals of what worked, what didn’t. I think, in general, I always do this kind of generally, but you can also take a moment to think about your goals and think specifically about what worked, what didn’t. It could be as small as I got stuck, and I should have called Bobby who could help me with find a person to talk to about running my half marathon. Whatever that is, it will help you continue to make progress, and sometimes the progress is small, but keep you going on your goals.
Number four is what will you continue or change? This is really the moment where you take the past reflections and turn them into action. And this is the moment where you want to do more of what’s working. These are very specific things that you’re going to change moving forward. And you want to be really specific. The more granular, probably the better, and maybe something like, I need to set my alarm 30 minutes earlier moving forward. I need to schedule a reoccurring meeting with Nick to talk about Focusmate sponsorship. I need to note my key deliverables every day in my other task list and my Full Focus Planner.
Whatever it is, you want to be really specific about the things that you want to continue to do. Maybe you tried something new the last week, and it worked, and you’re going to continue to do that and notate that, or the things that you’re going to start doing. This is the moment where the best learning for the week happens, and putting it into action for the week coming up.
Hey guys, I am excited to have one of our very own, very smart, Full Focus Planner Certified Pros with us today. And I’m really excited because she is not only going to be able to talk from her own experience using the full Focus Planner, but also from research. So let me get to it. Nicole, welcome to the program. Will you introduce yourself to everybody?

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
Sure. Hi, Courtney. Hi, everyone. It’s great to be here. My name’s Nicole Coomber. I am a clinical professor of management and an assistant dean of experiential learning at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business. As you mentioned, I’m also a Full Focus Certified Pro, which is really cool. I get to do that with my students and my colleagues. And I am also kind of probably most importantly a wife and mom to four boys between the ages of 6 and 11, so I got a lot going on.

Courtney Baker:
So right out of the gate, how long have you been using the Full Focus Planner? I’m also curious, you said you use it with your students and coworkers, what that looks like?

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
So I’ve been using it, I was trying to remember. I feel like I picked it up in 2020 right before the pandemic. Of course time got really weird at the pandemic. So I think it was actually before the pandemic happened. I think I found the system actually through the podcast, had been using bullet journals and was like, this is a lot of work and found this planner. And I was like, this really helps me focus in a way that is different and unique, and I’ve kind of used it ever since. With my colleagues, I do kind of like the soft sale. So when I became a Full Focus Planner Pro I took advantage of, there was something where I got a bunch of planners, and so I tend to give them away sort of selectively for folks who attend my workshop. But I use the worksheets that are based off of what’s in the planner.
And we actually, I think it’s really powerful because when I talk about productivity, people, they think they think the message they’re going to get is like, oh, hustle harder. And what they actually get is is that really where you are in your life? Does this make sense for your season of life? Does this make, even we talked, the last workshop I did, we talked about kind of winter as a season for reflection and slowing down a little bit and how adding a bunch of new stuff may not be the best use of this particular season.
So I’ve definitely turned on a lot of people to the planner here at the Smith School as well as students of mine. I work in the MBA. And I do tell them, I’m like, look, you can use these techniques with any planner, but I think once you sort of see, look, it’s all done for you, it’s ready, it prompts you and stuff, they really do get excited about that.

Courtney Baker:
It makes me so excited. You’ve probably heard me talk about this on the podcast, but I’m like, I wish someone would’ve taught me this system when I was in college because usually you just have to figure it out on your own how to get the right things done. And there’s years and years and years of trial and error and false starts. And I just, I’m excited for the next generation that hopefully are getting some of these tools earlier and can get out of the gate even faster than maybe we did when we were starting out. So thank you for sharing that with all of your students.
Well, I’m so curious to hear maybe some of your hacks. What are your favorite things, things that maybe you do a little differently with the Full Focus Planner or tips that our audience might like to steal from you?

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
Yeah. So there’s probably an old school concept from engineering called the Pareto principle that people might be familiar with, also know as the 80-20 rule. And I’m definitely an 80% planner user. I don’t strive for perfection because there’s definitely some days when I’m like, whoop, missed my Weekly Review that week. But it really is about coming back to it and giving yourself a bit of grace with that because what we’ve seen is that people that do that are more likely to stick with habits. That’s what’s been shown in the research is that when we are forgiving, we don’t strive for perfection, we kind of give ourselves credit for small wins. All of that’s backed up by a lot of the literature on habit formation and just on positive psychology.
I probably, I’m a copious note taker, so I tend to use the heck out of the notes sections. I mean, whether I’m in church on Sunday, I’m taking notes, whether it’s Saturday, and I’m taking notes on a kid’s activity, I’m usually just taking copious notes. So that part is really great for me, and I think that’s why it’s great that there’s one every quarter.
The other big tip that has, I’m trying to, this is actually one of my goals for this year is to, I wrote it down. I was like, have a rock solid morning routine for myself. And that is for a couple different reasons. One is I’ve just noticed when I do certain things in the morning that it gets my day off to a really good start. But it’s also my colleague, Trevor, we co-teach together a lot. He’s a tenured professor here at the Smith School. He has done some really cool research actually with some of our MBA students where he did these surveys with them to check in three times a day and basically would do what we call interventions in research and say, okay, try this. And then we would measure something again. So we’d look at how satisfied they were with their work. We might look at their level of commitment to their organization, to their job. And so depending on which group they were in, are they in the control group where they’re just doing the regular thing? Are they in the experiment group where they’re trying something new?
And one of the trying something new things that he did that I’m incorporating into my work is to reflect on what we call higher order goals. So unlike the smart goals, which are incredible, by the way, and I do use those with my students. They all have to set smart goals at the beginning of my course, no matter what course it is. Besides those specific goals, these higher order goals are much more broad. They’re harder to pin down. But we’ve been able to determine that there’s three of them.
So one is called communion striving, and that is when we have a desire for connection with other people. Two is status striving, and this is the desire for power. And three is achievement striving, and this is when you like to accomplish lot of things. And so what the research has found is that when people reflect on those higher order goals at the beginning of their workday, they actually are much more satisfied at work. They’re more productive. They’re more in tune with what actually makes them a good employee and what makes them satisfied and happy.
And unfortunately, unlike Enneagram or MBTI or any of these other tests, there’s no test to tell whether or not which one you are. For me personally, when I know Trevor told me first about the research study that he was working on, he described these different strivings to me. I immediately clicked. I was like, ooh, I’m a communion striver. I need that connection with other people in the workplace. That is really what wakes me up and gets me going in the morning. And truthfully, reflecting on that and just remembering, hey, I’m communion striving as part of my workday startup ritual, what can I do today to make sure that need gets fulfilled?
So I tend to, the pandemic was hard on me because even as an introvert, I still love that communion striving. So it’s like I need to make sure I take a walk to visit a colleague today and just catch up with them. And it’s amazing how a workday that has that in it is great. A workday that doesn’t feels like something’s missing. So reflecting on those higher order goals, I think my tip, sort of a one sentence summary of the tip would be reflect on what that higher order goal is for you at the beginning of your workday and see how it then influences how do you achieve your Big 3, how do you structure your day, what are little tweaks you can make just by shifting your perspective to knowing that’s what gets you going during the workday?

Courtney Baker:
That is so fascinating. And we just repeat those three again, it’s because when you first stated it, I thought it was like, oh, one of these three, but actually what you’re saying is one of those is going to be yours out of the three.

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
Yeah, one of them is going to be yours. Now, I mean sometimes people have, I’m also an achievement striver, but that, it’s certainly not my first. So communion striving, and that is when you have a desire for connection. Obviously, in education field or teaching people, that’s huge for me. Achievement striving, and so these are people that really want to, it’s not quite a competitive thing, but you want to make sure that you’ve accomplished something. It’s that getting the work done that really gets you motivated.

Courtney Baker:
That is definitely not me.

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
Well, we’re all different. Right? And then the last one is status striving. And so this one kind of has a little bit of a negative context because it is about power. A lot of the work in organizational behavior, that’s our field of what we study in. A lot of work in organizational behavior does have to do with power. And so these are people who are motivated by having a higher status within their organization. So getting the promotion, getting the title, having people respect them, that kind of thing. And I think it can kind of be seen as negative, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. We all want to be respected and admired by people that are around us. It’s just, is that what gets you kind of going more, or is it more that communion where you’re happy just being in community with other people? Or achievement, of course, of accomplishing something?

Nick Jaworski:
If you’re listening to this or watching it, that I do think that there would be some hesitation for people to self-identify as status. And I also think that I’m like, that’s not me. And I go, maybe it is me. Well, maybe that is me. I have to think about it. And it’s important to be honest because otherwise you won’t get the benefit of planning this as part of your weekly morning. So you have to be honest with yourself. And like Courtney, who do you think, who are you of those three most likely?

Courtney Baker:
Well, at first I was like, it’s the achievement one. But I also, and I always struggle with this, so I am being mildly vulnerable here to share this on the podcast, but one of my top five strength finders is significance. And I struggle with that one because it sounds like I just want to be like, how is that a strength? You want to be important.

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
That is status striving. And that’s why I say it has a negative connotation because we just have such mixed feelings generally about power and how it’s used. Power can be used for good. I mean, one of my favorite writers, and maybe this would help you as you’re thinking about it, one of my favorite, favorite organizational behavior writers is Rosabeth Moss Kanter from Harvard. She’s incredible. And my favorite article that I ever read from her, it’s called Power Failure in Management Circuits, and it basically talks about how managers that are the most powerful are the ones who empower their employees. If you think about it that way, if that gets you excited, so would be, my second is actually status striving, and it’s a close second, I would say. Because the idea of empowering those around me to be able to do more good in the world, whoa, that’s exciting.
I do think, I don’t know that it’s hard and fast the way personality is. I think these can change. I think you might become more status striving as you get a little more advanced in your career where you actually have access to those. Because the one thing that’s interesting about the research, the wrinkle that Trevor found, was that if you are a status striving individual, then you are more likely to get frustrated if you’re in a lower level role. So getting to those higher level roles where you do have the title, you do have the influence, you’ll feel more satisfied with your work.
So it’s just information. It’s not negative or positive. I think one thing that I would suggest if folks were trying to figure out, okay, which one am I, is to basically try to wear them like hats. I’m trained in, I think I’m trained in StrengthsQuest. I’m trained in MBTI. I’m trained in a bunch of these different things. And one thing that I always do with students is I’m like, look, try it on because you may have to try, and the nice thing about this is there’s only three to try on.
So to pick a week and just try one on one day. What would it look like? Your workday for communion striving, it would look like connecting with your customers, connecting with your colleagues. It would look like building that intentionally into your day. And then measure yourself and look at the end of the day and say, do I feel more fulfilled?So status striving sometimes is a little harder to achieve if you’re at a lower level, but if you have an instance where you have a chance to present in front of others and influence, does that make you feel more fulfilled? And then achievement striving. If you’re able to pull off a really big project, you get something really big accomplished, how do you feel at the end of that day?
So kind of trying them on would probably be the best way to go. I mean, even if you take an assessment, you would still need to do that in order to really make sure that it fits you because a test, you could have a bad day. I know I did the strengths finder, and my number one strength was input, which was the most boring thing I’d ever heard of. It was, you like to collect a bunch of random information. And I was like, ok, cool. That seems useless. But I was writing my dissertation at the time, and what is a dissertation if not collecting a bunch of random, useless information? So the test can kind of depend on where you are. And so trying these on and taking that curious, experimental mindset towards it can be, I think, really to help you figure it out. And it may change, right?

Courtney Baker:
Right. Well, and it’s interesting. I’m just curious with the achievement, especially if you’re going after a big, let’s say, professional goal this quarter, if just trying that on in that season to see if it helps you in your mindset and how you structure your day, I can only imagine that it’s helpful even if maybe it’s not your exact fit.

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
I think if you are achievement striving too, that’s where the Big 3 that you do each day, having the goal and knowing what it is, tying those Big 3 to it, and then really checking off and being like, this helped me achieve this big goal. That’s going to probably be the most satisfying. For me, it’s even if I don’t check off the Big 3, I’m like, oh, well, it’s not that big of a deal as long, it’s not a make or break for me for my day. If you are one of those people that you don’t check off your Big 3, and ugh, things are terrible, woe is me, right? Then that’s probably a sign that you might be achievement and that needs to be something that you focus to. For me, I mean, I’m not going to write in my Big 3 chit chat with a colleague, but I probably should because that would be a really good way to make sure that my day is fulfilled, and I feel like there’s meaning and significance there.

Courtney Baker:
Well, I think this is such a great tip. And I, for sure, think we need to have you on for full episode to just learn all the things from you. And I’m curious, do you mainly, with your Full Focus Planner certification mainly work with your students and colleagues within the university?

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
I don’t do anything really outside. I’ve thought about trying to, well, so one thing that I’ve done is I offer it pretty much to my students two or three times a year. Anyone that’s just taking my class, I usually send out, and I get a handful. And I’ve thought maybe one day one of them might want to bring me into their workplace, and then I could do it for a paid thing. But my work actually pays for it because I give this as part of our staff leadership academy for them. I probably would do it in other contexts like that, so it’s mostly a work thing.

Courtney Baker:
I think for people listening though, I think there are lots of people like that that could become a Certified Pro for their organization to utilize it within their role or their work will pay for it.
Nicole, thank you so much again. I look forward to talking again. Thank you for your tips, and thanks for being here with us on Focus On This.

Dr. Nicole Coomber:
Thanks.

Verbs Boyer:
So today’s tip to level up your focus is to set a reminder on your calendar. Two, do your after action review for your week.

Courtney Baker:
And PS, make it recurring.
Hey guys, tomorrow, January 31st, is a really exciting day. Megan and Michael, our founder and CEO, have a brand new book coming out called Mind Your Mindset. And we’ve actually talked a lot about this concept here on the podcast, and you may not have even realized it along the way. But this book is fantastic. It is a must read if you are listening to this podcast. It comes out tomorrow, and we would love to be on the New York Times Bestseller List. Now listen, this is how we do this. We want Megan Hyatt Miller and Michael Hyatt to get there. And so I’m going to ask you, I’m not even telling them, to put them on the New York Times Bestseller List. Here’s what you got to do. Go buy the book, really easy. You can get it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, all the other places.
In addition, we have a ton of fantastic bonuses, including a course on the content from this book. And it’s really going to help you challenge your mindset, achieve the goals that you want to achieve. It is an absolute must read. So go get those additional bonuses at mindyourmindsetbook.com.
