We're Only Successful if We're Always Busy...Fact or Fallacy? - Featuring Thought Leader and Author Jennifer Peavey

Published: July 8, 2022, 8 a.m.

Brief Episode Summary:

“The best decisions aren’t made with your mind, but with your instincts.” – Lionel Messi, worldwide recognized soccer superstar. Common sense in the developed world, suggests that to be truly financially successful, one must be in motion…action, almost 24/7. Notwithstanding the tremendous mental cost associated with this mindset…it’s simply wrong! 
#instincts #financially successful ##burnout #reflection #actions @future #cults #auto-pilot #future #productivity #success

Key topics:

  • Reflection allows us to see the past, to understand how our present was formed, and to claim the chance to create one's own future. How does the author view reflection and action?
  • The author's brilliantly crafted book, "Natural Reflectors," maintains that cults have four characteristics, citing that some corporations mimic a cult. How are they similar? 
  • There are times for reflection and times for action and when it comes to trusting our processes, it's so important that we don't try to control the outcome! Can reflection and action coexist? 
  • The late Steve Jobs said, "It's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy." What did he mean and was he right? 
  • Jennifer's book says if left to our own devices, we as humans tend to narrow our view, oftentimes leading to a life on auto-pilot, filled with constant action, diminishing our productivity and leading to burnout. How do we set ourselves free? 
  • Developing our own process that is uniquely us takes energy and may be difficult to attain when one is burned out. Incorporating reflection can prevent burnout as can combining reflection and action. What is the most effective approach? 
  • There are many definitions of success but the most pervasive aspect of the definition is the idea that we are only successful if we are busy! Can you say burnout? Do we have a choice?
