Ep 2: Systems Thinking

It’s pretty common to lose that excitement you had when the new year started. After a few weeks of the new year that goal you set becomes tiring, boring, and it just doesn’t get completed. The harsh reality is that we fail to execute our new years goals because we do not plan some practical action steps to accomplish them, “big is just a bunch of smalls”. It’s those habits and consistencies that when you reverse engineer, what was an intimidating feat becomes something you feel you can do. Setting goals and having a system to go about them is super critical to talk about. In today’s show, Coach Ash and Coach Ant, extreme execution coaches talked about the Air Traffic Controller’s preference for systems and structures. Coach Ant shared some dope experiences with us as he mentioned how his natural preference as a high I was to be really emotional about his goals. Too many of us are super excited during the new year and we set these awesome goals but unfortunately they never happen because we did not set practical action steps, and those big emotional goals we set at the start of the year eventually feel overwhelming. Coach Ant talked about the system's behavioral style and how he had to get uncomfortable, and write out his goals on a detailed spreadsheet. This was a challenge for him because he is a high I! So in this episode we talked about systems as it concerns our quarterly goals. Tune in with us today!
