I've been in a rut, my business ventures have slowed and got thrown way out of wack after moving back home with my inlaws. I'm having trouble gaining more clients for my "EngineerThis" service, and my Home service business Crystal Clear has also slowed due to the lack of homes in Northern Michigan... Besides that, I'm off my workout routines, and starting to spend copious amounts of time on Youtube again.. You get the picture. I've been trying to right the boat for a month now, and losing steam... For a bit of added pressure, my wife is expecting our first child in December! 😀 I'm super excited and need to make my efforts count. Clearly, they haven't... So got me thinking of a favorite Seinfeld episode... Where George's life is in the dump, and he realizes every decision he's made was wrong.. He gets the idea to start doing the opposite of his instincts.. He goes on to get the girl, the dream job and truly becomes an integrated male that's killing it.
Here's a clip
I need a refresher, I'm desperate, I'm wrong.... Let's change that with a challenge! I'm going to try and do the opposite of my intuition, and frankly my fears.. And see what happens! Obviously open to input, ideas, and teammates if anyone wants to join!
Example:
-I wake up early, and either flip on Youtube or read a book... Instead, I'm going for a bicycle ride!
Rules:
-Not changing things that obviously work fine (Low carb/sugar diet, Bed at 10pm, up at 6am, staying sober etc.)
-Loose _____ for the next day, if I succumb to what old Ian would do...
-Win _____ at the end of the day if i go the whole day doing opposite stuff...
Wish me luck! Will post here for accountability!
ps: It goes against my better judgment to "journal" online like this... So starting on the right foot already! Lol
