RG 270 - How to Achieve More By Focusing on Less – w/ David Wood
from Investing In The U.S. · host Reed Goossens
Is it possible to achieve more by focusing on less? For this week’s episode, we have world-renowned life and business coach David Wood to share some of his most valuable insights on prioritization, goal-setting, and self-awareness. David is a high-performance coach, former consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies, best-selling author, and the founder of Focus.ceo—the world’s largest coaching business. With over 150,000 of coaches across 12 countries under his guidance, David became #1 on Google for “life coaching.” Despite the great hardships in his life—including witnessing the death of his younger sister at a young age—David pulled through and made his life better by working on himself, even if it meant leaving his cushy Park Avenue job. And along the way, he took the opportunity to help others better their lives as well. Today, he teaches us how to achieve more by doing less. Now, this statement probably seems counterintuitive in and of itself, but David has the perfect explanation for why it isn’t so. Listen as David shares his golden pieces of advice on prioritization, goal-setting, meditation, as well as achieving self-awareness and clarity—both in business and life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Hire a coach with expertise on the exact area you need help with, be it in business, life, dating, etc. 2. Figure out your goals, and then pick only a few that are most important to you. 3. Your ‘not to do’ list can sometimes be more valuable than your ‘to do’ list. 4. Spend at least 20 minutes with yourself on a ‘self-date’.
