Episode Highlights

[02:51] George’s Background

  • George’s educational background includes a master’s in marketing. He also worked in management and entrepreneurship.
  • Along the way, he experienced heartbreak. This experience urged him to do research on personal development.
  • He has since read more than 200 books and 1,200 articles. He even conducted an experiment and wrote a book.

[03:58] The Results of George’s Research

  • George saw that once the participants connected with the material, they started reconnecting with themselves in four levels.
  • George believes more in a holistic approach, rather than just a focused outlook.
  • To change your life, you need to improve all four levels—physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
  • All aspects are intertwined with each other. When you connect with each dimension, you can start to change your life and the way you present yourself.
  • In personal and business relationships, the more dimensions you have chemistry in with the other person involved, the better the outcome.

[09:15] The Formula to Change Your Life

  • Event plus response equals outcome (E + R = O).
  • We can't control events, but we can control our responses to create a desirable outcome.
  • Some situations can start from negative thoughts and emotions. They can then grow and grow until you no longer have control over them.
  • Begin to change your life by taking control early on. You can prevent your situation from escalating to a point of no return.
  • If you are unhappy with your current status, you can look for alternatives to change your life. Exhaust all possibilities.

[16:22] The Formula to Success

  • Take 100% responsibility for your life. Stop blaming other people, events, or things for your unfortunate circumstances.
  • Thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to behaviour, which lead to action. Thus, you can start to change your life by shifting your mindset.
  • You need three things for success. Desire or passion, a suitable market, and the need for your creation.
  • George could have played the victim after getting his heart broken. Instead, he sought to take action.
  • Once he started changing his habits, he created a ripple effect that translated to other areas in his life.

[20:10] Take Time to Change Your Life

  • George believes in emotional progression instead of basing your progress on time. When you're ready, you're ready.
  • Also, he doesn't rely on quick fixes. Instead, he banks on slow and steady growth.
  • Start changing habits one by one. Begin with something simple and do it consistently over time.
  • Doing numerous things at once can lead to procrastination or loss of focus. You’ll start feeling overwhelmed and find yourself giving up.
  • Once you get past the terror barrier of starting a new habit or routine, you can actually enjoy doing it.

[28:40] Being Consistent

  • George believes in consistency. But, he also allows for flexibility. Tune in to the full episode to know how he applies this principle in his daily life!
  • The important thing is sticking to your habits 80% of the time.
  • George takes a break every 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to do some physical activities. Doing so re-energises him and allows him to be more productive throughout the day.
  • He recommends reconnecting to yourself every now and then for a boost of energy and focus.

[33:56] Creating Momentum

  • When aiming to change your life, focusing on one small task at a time is crucial.
  • That’s because completing this goal gives you a sense of satisfaction, releases dopamine, and creates momentum.
  • Once you gain momentum, it becomes much easier to achieve bigger goals.
  • George tweaks his routines now and then and reflects on what he can do to improve.
  • You should always reevaluate your rituals to determine whether or not you are actually progressing.
