How To Live Full & Die Wise (Stephen Jenkinson)

Today's podcast is a short summary of my group coaching community conversation this weekend.

In our recent live session, we delved into some powerful concepts and strategies to help you achieve mastery in your life and business. Here's a concise summary of the key takeaways:

Pareto's Law (80/20 Rule):
- Understand that 20% of your efforts often lead to 80% of your results.
- Identify the most impactful 20% of tasks or activities and focus on them.
- Regularly assess your tasks to ensure you're prioritizing the vital few over the trivial many.


Clarity on Your "Why":
- Define your purpose, values, and long-term goals.
- Understand what truly motivates you and drives your actions.
- Revisit your "why" regularly to stay aligned with your aspirations.

Identifying Energy Drains and Distractions:
- Conduct a thorough audit of your daily activities.
- Pinpoint tasks or habits that consume your time and energy without significant benefits.
- Develop strategies to eliminate or delegate these distractions.

Applying these principles and insights allows you to gain clarity, boost productivity, and focus on what truly matters, ultimately accelerating your journey toward mastery. Keep the momentum going, and stay committed to your growth!

One Of The Best Pieces Of Advice I Can Give You, an excerpt from Sunday's Episode

To understand closure one must ‘accept’ an outcome, that is how you obtain the closure. It is simple to understand but hard for people because they hold on to expectation and emotion. True closure is available to all of us. In this episode, we go into detail about how to get closure.

Closure | Ep. 48

I wanted to create a space where I could chat with thought leaders, spiritual luminaries, authors, and health and wellness experts to discuss how we can free ourselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and beyond. I care about mindset, movement, and positive relationships and I created this podcast for people who also care about these topics. You’ll also hear passionate solo episodes where Sylvester goes deep into a zone of consciousness and talk about subjects that are calling me.
