In this episode, I want to share some top business and life lessons as we reflect back on the year. The reasons I do this podcast are to share business and productivity lessons I\u2019ve learned about getting more energy, time management skills, and other useful tips. I hope to inspire you and help you take your business to the next level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take time to recap your year. When you really think about it, you probably have done more than you realize. When I did this, it allowed me to realize everything I accomplished this year, instead of only focusing on the negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I define personal growth as when you are challenged and you keep going. One of the things my mentor taught me is, success is not built on success. Success is built on problems, frustration, and failure. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Personal Accomplishments<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the personal lessons was back in January when I went to men\u2019s retreat. I realized I wasn\u2019t playing big and bold enough in my faith. Whatever you believe in, be more bold in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important thing I practiced this year was to stop comparing myself to other people. It\u2019s easy to see top income earners, people crushing it, and you tend to get a sense of inspiration and also jealousy and envy. Everyone looks good on social media. We\u2019re all dealt different cards. It\u2019s all about what you make with those cards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And finally, I learned to make a commitment to what is important, and that it is crucial to be able to adapt. This year I made a commitment to spending time with kids, especially when it comes to sports. And in regards to adaptation, my three sons now attend different schools. So I had to adjust to make the most of my day. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Professional Accomplishments<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest professional accomplishments was No BS No Hype, our big event held in Brisbane, Australia. The event was attended by 500-700 people, and we are very much looking forward to next year\u2019s event, which takes place August 24th and 25th. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, go to <a href=\"\/nobs2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mlmnation.com\/nobs2019<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another big undertaking this year was changing our focus in MLM Nation. Our new focus is helping people create consistency and accountability. We also created our membership group, MLM Insiders. For more information on the insider group, check out our DMO heroes episodes. In those episodes, future leaders from the community share their tips on how to remain consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Recommended Resources:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2BPo1mk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Profit First<\/span><\/i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Mike Michalowicz<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VdqgJ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steve Jobs<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Walter Isaacson<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QZDLOe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoe Dog<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Phil Knight<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wondery.com\/shows\/business-wars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Wars podcast<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Some lessons to take into next year:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaders make hard decisions. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accountability partners and a coach help keep you focused. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t compare yourself to others. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We could use your help!
