Episode 31: Think Few Thoughts.

In this episode we move past the setup and logistics of business and focus on the day to day experience.

I’ve never met anyone who says they want to build a business with a mind running fast with everything they need to do and think about.

Instead coaches say they want to feel calm, focused and clear on what they do and when.

Thinking fewer thoughts creates a calm mind and simpler access to what you WANT to be thinking about (rather than just what is being throw at you as urgent to think about).

The key to thinking FEWER thoughts is to see & remove the default thought steam. (which thankfully also removes the emotional experience)

I share a 4 step process for this on the podcast. But it does require some knowledge of self-coaching. If you don’t have that, don’t worry I teach it inside An Unconventional Business School.

Once you see what would have been running on default (which is often negative)..

You establish 1-2 simple thoughts that you ALSO believe in place for when you need to think them.

I share 5 areas every coach experiences in their business on the podcast but let me show you an example:

Area: consult said yes, 1st call is scheduled, they haven’t paid yet

Built Thought: We have a call scheduled for ___, she either comes or she doesn’t (if she hasn’t paid by then, I’ll ask her about it then)

It’s simple.

It’s true.

It leaves zero room for your mind to chatter, worry or wonder.

It leaves room for all possibilities.

The objective…no brain space is spent on THIS area when it could be focused in more productive ways.

The other 5 areas we develop thoughts on episode 31 are:

1. New client, scheduled but not paid yet
2. Right before a consult
3. After a consult: YES
4. After a consult: NO or maybe
5. No consults currently booked

Creating a calm mind that knows where to think and can gently hold those thoughts CREATES a calm and peaceful experience of your business.

So all your nervousness and uncertainty can be on new problems that you are learning how to solve in your growing coaching business.
