📘 1. Book I Read This Week – Key Person of Influence by Daniel Priestly

Yesterday’s beach read.

Here’s the premise:

  1. Every industry has an inner circle of “Key People of Influence.”
  2. They are the top 10% of an industry.
  3. They are known, liked, and trusted.
  4. They make more, achieve more, and contribute more.
  5. If you aren’t a KPI in your industry, your full time job is to become one.
  6. Anyone can do it.

There are 5 steps to become a Key Person of Influence:

  1. Pitch – Write the perfect pitch that explains a compelling answer to the question “What do you do?”
  2. Publish – Publish content regularly. The author HIGHLY recommends writing a book as the best way to get your message out and build credibility.
  3. Product – Create products that leverage your unique skills, talent and ideas.
  4. Profile – Raise your profile and become liked, known, and trusted.
  5. Partner – Partner with other KPIs to structure and maintain strategic relationships.

Also: Did you know it takes about 7 hours and 11 points of contact before a stranger feels safe enough to trust you with a purchase?

How can you do that at scale?

😫 3. The Different Between Busy & Non-Busy People – Article by Joshua Becker

When someone asks you, “how are you feeling,” do you respond, “busy”?

First of all – “busy” isn’t a feeling.

Overwhelmed, stressed, scattered, distracted, guilty, frustrated, tired.

Now THOSE are feelings.

This article breaks down the differences between “busy” and “non-busy” people.

I think they’re pretty spot on:

  1. Unbusy people know their purpose – They know their goals, what they want to pursue, and how they want to live.
  2. Unbusy people say no to things that don’t align with their mission – They say no the urgent requests, the popular requests, and the countless opportunities in front of us each day.
  3. Unbusy people know they have choice in life – Busyness is a decision we make. We are never forced into a lifestyle of busyness.
  4. Unbusy people don’t get distracted by unfulfilling pursuits – The sooner we recognize the pursuit of more will never fully satisfy, the easier it is to unbusy our lives.
  5. Unbusy people value the significance of rest – Rest is essential to our bodies, our minds, and our souls.
