The GMRT Experience

Friday Fire - Navigating New Personal and Professional Seasons

Welcome back to another episode of the GMRT experience. In this episode, we delve into personal changes and how they impact your focus, drive, and energy. After taking a few weeks off from podcasting to concentrate on my business, I've discovered there's never a 'cooling off' level.Every new level in the journey of life or business always demands a higher degree of commitment, not just in terms of time but also energy. In a world constantly buzzing with the noise of social media, news and the internet, preserving your energy and space is essential.I share examples from my own life and from the Bible about the importance of solitude. Imagine freeing yourself from all the social media distractions and staying entirely present in the moment. That time could be used to rejuvenate the spirit through prayer, meditation, or reading your Bible.High-performance individuals like myself may sometimes struggle when life doesn't go as planned. But we should remember that life isn't a straight arrow, and we must learn to pick ourselves up when we fall, align ourselves, and keep moving. Making mistakes does not necessitate punishing ourselves but rather learning, growing, and moving towards a higher vibration.By sharing personal experiences and encounters with others, I touch upon the importance of accepting that sometimes it's okay not to be okay. By assessing our actions and behaviors, we can regain control of our situations and make valuable changes. Tune in for this short, impactful episode that encourages you to pray, meditate, read your Bible, and retain the best version of yourself. The world needs the best of you. Thank you for listening, and until next time, stay locked in.

Friday Fire - The Secret is You vs You.

Welcome to another episode of the GMRT Experience, a special installment of our Friday Fire series where we delve into the caveats and anecdotes of personal and professional life. In this episode, we shall be discussing an insight, an enlightening concept termed "You Versus You".Exploring this concept, we look into the intricacies of working towards success and trying to achieve goals. We bring light to the truth that the process of success is a battle against yourself and not with others. With the commencement of a new year, it is still quite common for many to give up on their goals. It is in these moments that you need to realize that if you don't commence the action, nobody else will do it for you. It is you standing in front of your obstacles, in your path towards success.Unfolding further, we confront the realities of embarking on new journeys. Even starting this podcast was a journey filled with hesitations and fears of judgment by others. The key is to overlook the critics, especially those not in the same game as you. Focusing on your journey, developing your business, and dealing with the obstacles on your own is the way to go forward.Progressing through the seven years of GMRT's existence, it has been a road of constant growth infused with discomfort. Comfort is a mirage that doesn't necessarily lead to contentment. The reality is that the most meaningful moments usually sprout from discomfort. This episode proposes an encouragement to embrace the uncomfortable and promotes the art of not blocking your own path. Remember, your goals require the best of you, not someone else's.To conclude, we emphasize that the journey you are on is unique to you. Don't compare your progress to someone else's. Such comparison only fosters discontentment and worry. You should focus instead on your own chapters, your own growth. Remember, it's always you versus you. Stop making excuses, start doing the work, and reap the benefits. Until next time, peace.

Friday Fire - The Game Changing Power of Establishing Personal and Business Routines.

Welcome back to another episode of the GMRT Experience! Today, Friday Fire we're excited to talk about the transformative power of routine—not just in your business, but equally important, in your personal life.
We delve into the concept of setting up routines that align with your personal goals. Having routines in place allows you to stay organized and focused on what truly matters. Whether it's hitting the gym, spending focused time at work, or serving at your local community, setting up a routine contributes to you functioning at your highest potential.
More importantly, having a solid routine helps you in becoming disciplined in saying 'NO' to things that may distract you from achieving your goals. It empowers you to navigate through the multitude of opportunities life throws at you. The objective is not to be a 'YES' man/woman, but to identify and prioritize tasks that truly align with your personal and professional goals.
We then dive into the importance of having designated morning and evening routines. This involves dedicating time to fill up your energy tanks through activities that resonate with you, whether it's Bible reading, meditation, personal development reading or simple solitude. A sound start and end to the day have been noticed as common traits amongst successful individuals.
Lastly, we share a powerful tool called the 'power list'- listing down five critical tasks every day that will move the needle forward for your business. The emotional satisfaction of crossing off tasks from your list has an amplified effect on your productivity and helps you stay aligned to your goals.
Each one has their own recipe of success, but the ingredient of setting structured routines is commonly found. So, are you ready to level up by establishing game-changing routines? Tune into this episode for your quick, straight-to-the-point wisdom fix.
