How Entrepreneurs Can Access A Whole New World Of Thinking
Do you give yourself time to think? Many people don’t. And for entrepreneurs, the stakes are higher because they’re in the marketplace independently. In this episode, business coaches Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller talk about why thinking time is so important for business success and how entrepreneurs can get the highest quality thinking time through The Strategic Coach® Program.
Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:
· Why deep thinking is scary.
· The question that The Strategic Coach Program was based on from the start.
· Why it’s easier to get entrepreneurs thinking about their thinking than most people.
· Why thinking about your thinking is something that has to be consciously learned.
Show Notes:
Most people only do the kind of thinking done in Strategic Coach® in extreme emergency.
Most people engage in three levels of thinking: thinking about things, thinking about other people, and thinking about other people’s thoughts. But there is a fourth level: thinking about your thinking.
Higher education is almost entirely based on people who spent their whole lives thinking about somebody else's thoughts.
In any sale, the first thing that people buy is a relationship.
There’s only one expert on what progress is going to make a client happy, and that's the client.
Some people don’t think about their thinking because they’re afraid of their thinking.
For most people, it’s an unnatural act to think about their thinking.
The Strategic Coach Program is about the clients, not the coaches.
Instead of thinking about their thinking, most people just engage with whatever the world throws at them during the day, and then watch TV in the evening.
Thinking about your thinking means taking agency over what actually goes on in your mind.
The more you think about your thinking, the more normal it becomes.
The problem is never the problem; the problem is not knowing how to think about the problem.
Tightly scheduled entrepreneurs cannot transform themselves.
