SNS 112: Saturday Night Special - Defining Success

[00:00:00] Scott Maderer: Welcome to tonight's Saturday night, special episode, 112.

[00:00:05] Bob Lotich: I'm Bob Lotichfrom seed time. And I challenge you to invest in yourself, invest in others, develop your influence and impact the world by using your time, your talent and your treasures to live out your calling, having the ability to grow your money.

[00:00:18] Like a seed is key to learning God's way of handling money. And one way to be inspired to do that as they'll listen to this, the inspired stewardship podcast with my friend, Scott.

[00:00:28] Scott Maderer: instead answer for yourself and then identify the areas that you need to continue to grow. What are your weaknesses? What are your strengths? Who do you need to bring into your circle to help coach you and grow you and then step forward and do that. And then you won't only define success. You'll actually achieve it.

[00:00:51] Welcome. And thank you for joining us on the inspired stewardship. If you truly desire to become the person who God

[00:00:59] Bob Lotich: wants you to [00:01:00] be, then you must learn

[00:01:01] Scott Maderer: to use your time, your talent and your treasures for your true calling in the inspired stewardship podcast. We'll learn to invest in

[00:01:09] Bob Lotich: yourself, invest in others and develop your

[00:01:12] Scott Maderer: influence so that you can impact the world.

[00:01:17] And tonight Saturday night special. I talk with you about why we often have vague ideas about things like success and doing better. I talk with you about why it's important to actually define what you mean by success. And I also share how you can go about actually defining success for yourself. Now, one area that a lot of folks need some help with is around the area of productivity.

[00:01:46] Getting not just more things done, but actually getting the right things done can be really tough. I've got a course called productivity for your passion. That's designed to help you do [00:02:00] this and then to hold you accountable and walk with you so that you can tailor productivity, not just to be getting more done, but actually getting the right things done.

[00:02:12] What's more, we take the approach of looking at your personality and how you actually look at things in the world and tailor the productivity system to your personnel. Because the truth is a lot of the systems that are out there are written really well for somebody with a particular personality type.

[00:02:30] But if you have a different approach to things, they just don't work, but there's tools and techniques and approaches that you can take that will work for anyone. And we help you do that in productivity for your passion. Check it out over@inspiredstewardship.com slash law. Those things

[00:02:49] Bob Lotich: that I've discovered over the years, whether I'm

[00:02:51] Scott Maderer: working with clients, whether I'm working with people that I've managed or supervised or led is we often [00:03:00] tend to answer questions about what we want with these vague answers.

[00:03:05] I want success. I want to do. But we don't ever actually sit down and define what success is or what doing better is. And because of that, we don't really end up having a direction that lets us have success. And do better because we haven't really sat down and developed our own plan and defined what success and failure is.

[00:03:31] It's hard to know. Are we moving in the direction? Instead, we have this feeling of until I achieve X, I won't be happy. I've got to set this goal and achieve this milestone and then I'll be happy or we measure success and doing better in sort of superficial way. If you spend even 10 minutes browsing social media, you'll find that a lot of people seem to define success around building wealth, having the [00:04:00] perfect relationship, maybe having a million dollar business or having even a large social media following or getting lots of lives.

[00:04:09] The image that we project is that success is about these sort of vanity metrics. And don't get me wrong. I'm not necessarily saying those things are wrong, but many people define success that way. What if they really stopped and thought about it? That wouldn't be how they define success. This is why, and I've met folks that have gotten it and I'm the F on the face of everything appear to have everything that they want.

[00:04:38] They're on the top. And yet they feel miserable and they feel burned out once they get there, they're unhappy because they spent all of their time chasing a definition of success. That wasn't really one that was aligned with their values and because of the. They end up achieving someone else's [00:05:00] success instead of their own.

[00:05:01] I think a lot of times from childhood, from family, from friends, we have all sorts of folks, whether it's marketing the culture, our coworkers who try to define what success should be for us. And if you don't take the time and the energy to step back and define it for yourself. Then you'll end up achieving success, but it'll be someone else's definition instead of your own.

[00:05:28] It is important to set goals and objectives and make plans, but it's also important to examine what are the sorts of things that bring us joy? What are the sorts of things that bring us happiness, but then recognize that if all that makes us happy is achieving certain goals. Instead of focusing also on the happiness of the jury.

[00:05:51] That will probably never really achieve it because we'll never, ever cross all of our goals off our list. No matter [00:06:00] what we achieve, there's always something else. So it's important to also recognize that yes, achieving the goal should be a moment of happiness, but so should be the journey. And when you look at it, This is why it's so important to define success, but how do we actually go about doing it?

[00:06:20] What are some of the things that we can do to make sure that the success that we're having is actually the success that we. One thing to do is recognize that you've actually already achieved some success, some level of success, no matter how good or how bad your life is, you've actually had successes in your life.

[00:06:45] So ask yourself, where have you already seen successes in. What can you do that would continue to build on those successes? What lessons have you learned from those successes and what things have you learned about [00:07:00] yourself, including do you want to keep going down that road are the successes you're having the true successes that you want.

[00:07:09] And then sit down and ask these questions. What truly matters to. Deeply and really be brutally honest with yourself. What truly matters with you and what things are the things that sets you on fire with passion. What are the things that bring a fire into your belly? When you think about them, what do you want to make of your life?

[00:07:38] What legacy do you want to leave behind? That's why I asked all of my guests that question about legacy. What lifestyle do you want to achieve? And yes, I'm talking about money and lifestyle there. Who do you want to be? Who do you want others to say you are? And what do you want people to say about you after you've passed on [00:08:00] and left this word world?

[00:08:02] These questions need to be specific for you. What really matters? To you don't answer them for anyone else. Don't try to say, this is what others say, that it should be instead answer for yourself and then identify the areas that you need to continue to grow. What are your weaknesses? What are your strengths?

[00:08:24] Who do you need to bring into your circle to help coach you and grow you and then step forward and do that. And then you won't only define success. You'll actually achieve. Thanks for listening.

[00:00:44] Scott Maderer: the truth is this is just seven things, but there are tons of money, attitude, and they all affect us. But what we can do is find ways to begin to change who we are and what [00:01:00] we are and what we do. So that we can change our attitudes about money and thus change. What's going on.

And I talk with you about what you can do about. As we talk about stewarding your treasures. Wouldn't it be great. If you could support this podcast and do it without costing yourself an extra dime, [00:02:00] it turns out you can.

If you enjoy the show, when you're ready to buy from Amazon, just use inspired stewardship.com/. The truth is we all have really complicated relationships when it comes to money, our attitudes towards it, our behavior towards it, how that affects our financial outlook.

[00:02:30] All of these things are related to our relationship with money, our attitudes around money. And I wanted to talk a little bit about some of the unhealthy attitudes that we take on the first is avoiding. It's common to try to avoid working on and thinking about money problems. I've had clients in the past that when I asked them about bills and debt, they don't know because they just take those things and put them in the drawer.

[00:02:58] There's this feeling [00:03:00] because it often leads to a worry feeling. And we've talked before about how money worry and money problems are different. But because we end up worrying about money, Stopping ourselves from thinking about it because that stress and that anxiety is worse. And so we put off balancing our bank statement.

[00:03:19] We put off looking at our bills, we put off taking action and we avoid it second. We often will have behavior that leads to overspending an attitude of the fact that we think we need it. Now it's often based in part on an avoidance because you're not paying attention to it. So it's easy to spend money that you don't have.

[00:03:43] And those little things can really begin to add up. We often also focus only on the immediate needs. We focus on what we need right now. It's that paycheck to paycheck mentality. I can afford it because I can [00:04:00] afford the payment, as opposed to thinking about how it affects your long term financial goals.

[00:04:07] We also have a tendency to always want and need more marketing does a great job of field creating that feeling of you got to get it. You've got to get more. You have to have more, to be comfortable and to be happy because as soon as you have something you get comfortable and then you need more to feel comfortable.

[00:04:25] Again, we tie it to our status and we have this constant need to do better and get more than we had before. There's also financial worry and anxiety. These things are not the same as the money problems, but the feelings perhaps because of our childhood, perhaps because of earlier experiences, the feeling of worry around money is really big.

[00:04:51] And then there's a feeling of waiting constantly for your paycheck. If again, this leads to this [00:05:00] mentality of li living paycheck to paycheck and always looking at the next thing instead of making adjustments to our bigger attitudes and our bigger behaviors. And number seven, oftentimes we all have an attitude of miserliness or hoarding or holding on accumulation rather than giving the truth is we all have these sorts of attitudes and they usually come out of a history.

[00:05:30] They come out of our past, they come out of past experiences. They come out of childhood. They come out of dealing with these real issues as we grow up. But what you can do about them is even more important. If you're avoiding things, be honest with yourself and admit it, but then set small manageable goals and perhaps find a coach or someone else to help hold you accountable.

[00:05:57] If you're overspending, you can work on [00:06:00] setting a budget and you can make a rule about avoiding debt because that tends to lead to overspending. Focusing on living on immediate needs and paycheck to paycheck, you can begin to make saving a priority. You could begin investing and find small ways to even do that in a tiny way, just to begin to build that.

[00:06:23] If you constantly find yourself when you get a raise spending, even more than you got, so your lifestyle continues to creep up and you always need more. You can do some real soul searching about what are your real priorities and values. And you can begin to find ways to be grateful for what you do have.

[00:06:42] If you suffer from financial anxiety, again, you can involve an accountability partner or a coach, and you can set aside dedicated time for working on. What you do if you're living in that paycheck to paycheck cycle, and you're constantly waiting for your next paycheck, you can begin to set up [00:07:00] automatic contributions or do other things to automate part of your bill paying.

[00:07:05] And if you're suffering from that feeling of hoarding and miserliness, you can set up a time and a way to give regular. The truth is this is just seven things, but there are tons of money, attitude, and they all affect us. But what we can do is find ways to begin to change who we are and what we are and what we do so that we can change our attitudes about money and thus change what's going on.

[00:07:40] Thanks for listening.

[00:07:42] Thanks so much for listening to the inspired stewardship podcast, as a subscriber and listener, we challenge you to not just sit back and passively listen, but act on what you've heard and find a way to live your calling.

[00:00:22] Having the ability to lead through confident humility is key. And one way to be inspired to do that is to listen to this, the inspired stewardship podcast with my friend Scott Mader,

[00:00:32] Scott Maderer: but the impact of transactional leadership tends to be much more maintaining the satisfied. So if everything is perfect and transactional leadership works, but when things are not perfect, then is when you need true transformation. Welcome. And thank you for joining us on the inspired stewardship.

[00:01:19] Scott Maderer: And today's episode about investing in others through stewarding your talent. I talk with you about the difference between a transformational leader and a transactional leader. I talk about why transformational leadership is harder, but makes more lasting change. And I also share how each has the ability to get results, but the long-term impact is different.

[00:01:40] You've heard me talk about developing your talent and what are the best ways to do that is through books. But if you're like most people today, it's hard to find the time to read.

That's inspired stewardship.com/audible to get your free trial and listen to great books the same way you're listening to this podcast. On Monday's episode, Roy talked a little bit about transactional and transitional leader.

[00:02:30] And the truth is both of those are leadership types and they both have good and bad things about them. One is not always better or worse than the other, but let's talk a little bit more about what they are. Transactional leadership style is what I would often call a manager, which is not a bad thing.

[00:02:53] They, this is a philosophy that involves reinforcement and exchanges that manage the [00:03:00] employees towards specific goals, and then offers them a reward for achieving. That's the transaction in transactional leadership and effective transactional leaders recognize and reward a follows followers, accomplishments in a timely.

[00:03:18] Transactional leadership is practical in nature because it's very focused on meeting specific targets and objectives. Oftentimes transactional leaderships are found in management kinds of positions or in positions in companies where there's a focus on producing a certain amount or having a quick.

[00:03:40] Per shift or this sort of thing. And it has a tendency to enforce and maintain the status quo because you use actions and processes that have proven to be successful. And then you continue to use those. You don't have a tendency to innovate and it tends to [00:04:00] work best if employees are self-motivated and don't need to have inspiration or motivation to move forward.

[00:04:08] Transformational leadership on the other hand. Around are structured around intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, inspirational motivation, and idealized influence what people will often call the four eyes. This is the idea that a transformational leader focuses on nurturing and positively motivating their employees.

[00:04:33] They don't micromanage instead of. Foster and create an independent workplace. One that promotes creativity, desires, innovative thinking, and empowers employees to make their own decisions. It gives them some level of autonomy. Transformational leaders emphasize personal and professional growth and encourage all employees to think creatively in developing solutions to longstanding challenges.

[00:04:58] Then this [00:05:00] works well. In organizations where the goals include developing the talent of employees, not just focusing on production quotas or sales goals, transformational leadership can also be the preferred approach in an environment where there's newness or there's a need for innovation or creativity.

[00:05:22] And there may still be, and there are still financial resources, deadlines, certain quotas, other things, but those rules are allowed to be innovated on there's change is encouraged. And again, like I said, at the beginning, it's not really that one of these is better and the other is worse. They're both have values.

[00:05:46] Transactional leaders are very good at employee supervision. They're very good at keeping the trains running on time, but transformational leaders are often better in times of [00:06:00] change. And when we need to develop and grow employees, They're better at strategy and the other is better at tactics and both are needed.

[00:06:11] But when you think about making lasting change, especially when things are struggling, when times are bad, when there's a difficult challenge to get through, you need transformational leadership. You need to move away from some of the transactional leadership and begin to introduce transfer migrational leaders.

[00:06:34] Instead that encouragement, that motivation, that vision drives the company forward through change. So they compliment each other. You need both, but transformational leadership is often needed in times of challenge because it creates lasting change because of that innovation factor, because of that development factor, because of the [00:07:00] fact that it continues to grow.

[00:07:03] Each other, but the impact of transactional leadership tends to be much more maintaining the status quo. So if everything is perfect, then transactional leadership works. But when things are not perfect, then is when you need true transformation. Thanks for listening.

Episode 963: Why You Never Seem to Have Enough Time

[00:00:00] Scott Maderer: Thanks for joining me on episode 963 of the inspired stewardship podcast.

[00:00:06] Travis Rosser: I'm Travis Rosser, the author of you Inc. The step-by-step guide for finding the business within you. I challenge you to invest in yourself, invest in others, develop your influence and impact the world by using your time, your talent and your treasures to live out your call.

[00:00:24] Having the ability to really find your gifts and calling is a key. And one way to be inspired to do that is to listen to this, the inspired stewardship podcast by my friend, Scott Maderer.

[00:00:37] And don't get me,

[00:00:38] Scott Maderer: I'm saying if you're working two jobs to put a roof over your head and food on your table, you run right out and quit your job so that you can go out and do something that feels. But what I am saying is until you identify a path towards that, you're going to stay feeling too busy, overwhelmed, and stressed out.

[00:00:59] But if you [00:01:00] identify a path and begin walking down that path, you'll immediately begin to feel better. Welcome.

[00:01:06] Travis Rosser: And thank you for joining us on the inspired stewardship podcasts. If you truly desire to become the person who God wants you to be, then you must learn to use your. Your talent and your treasures for your true calling and the inspired stewardship podcast.

[00:01:23] We'll learn to invest in yourself, invest in others and develop your influence so that you

[00:01:30] Scott Maderer: can impact the world.

[00:01:32] And today's episode about investing in others by stewarding your time. I talk with you about why we feel we never have enough. I also share why it's as much psychological as based on the clock. And I also give you some tips on what you can do. As we talk about stewarding your time. Wouldn't it be great.

[00:01:51] If you could support this podcast and do it without just taking too long, it turns out you can't. All you have to do is use inspired [00:02:00] stewardship.com/amazon. When you're ready to make a purchase via Amazon and a small commission, we'll come back to support the show. Just that quick. If you enjoy the show, when you are ready to buy from Amazon, just use inspired stewardship.com/.

[00:02:16] Nowadays, it seems like we look up at the end of the day and it's amazing that it's the entire day has passed the day's over and yet we've got nothing done. We're trying to figure out a time to schedule plans with others. And it doesn't seem like there's any time open on the calendar. Most people nowadays feel like we don't have enough time.

[00:02:38] And I wanted to talk about some of the reasons behind. First off, there's actually a study, a lot of studies. Now that show that on average, American workers are working 47, 48 or 50 hours somewhere in that neighborhood instead of a 40 hour work week, even though there's a lot of research that shows that over 40 hours tends to be less.[00:03:00]

[00:03:00] And in fact, if you look at the spread, many people are spending 70 or more hours every week working, especially if you include their second job or a side hustle kind of jobs as well. And this has a couple of distinct effects. First off you are maybe working more hours than you really need to, because you're trying to make yourself seem a little more indispensable to your company, or just because.

[00:03:27] There's a need to be busy or sometimes it's even just because you have no else. No other thing to do you fill up your schedule with lots of busy stuff, not filling up your schedule with lots of important. Another study that's out there shows that there's a lot of extra tasks that we do. And we often times feel pressured about these tasks.

[00:03:53] If they tend to be looked at by us as tedious, repetitive, or an interesting when you're doing [00:04:00] tasks that you're not really jazz to do you end up feeling like you have less. Stress plays a massive role in how we feel about time. And when we feel like we've got conflicting goals and we're pulled in multiple directions and we're not in alignment, that stress makes us feel like we don't have enough time.

[00:04:23] And I've talked before about how social media could create that feeling of FOMO. That feeling of I'm always missing out. I want to do something else that I'm not doing right now. A lot of times, too, you're not paying attention to the time that you are actually using and where you're using it. And so you'll spend hours on something simple and repetitive, and that's rewarding, like checking Facebook when you're not actually getting the work done that you need to do.

[00:04:54] There's also studies that show that when you lack autonomy, when you don't feel like you [00:05:00] have any control over your own time, That begins to make you feel more and more out of control. If you feel like you have the ability to make choices about your time, then suddenly you begin to feel more in control.

[00:05:17] And it's not necessarily saying no to doing something and creating more free time. It's just having the ability to choose when and what you do. The truth is all of these things can affect to you and your time, but notice that many of them don't necessarily actually have anything to do with the number of hours that you work or the amount of time that you put in.

[00:05:40] The first one that we talked about in terms of 40 hours a week does, but the rest of them all have a psychologic. Component the fact that we feel overwhelmed and busy and stressed out and not engage. And like we have no autonomy is as much psychological as it is based on the clock. [00:06:00] And the truth is you can do things about that.

[00:06:04] You can begin to find ways. To block out social media. You can begin to find thing ways to say no to some things so that you can say yes to the most important things. That's what we talk about over and over again on this show is the way you can do that by paying attention to where you're spending your time by focusing in on what your real goals and values are by doing the deep work.

[00:06:35] You begin to open up the feeling of having more time and the reality of having more time, both the clock and your psychology begins to align every time I've taken on extra things, even whenever it was something I wanted to do. And I thought it was important if it wasn't in alignment with my overall goals, [00:07:00] I end up feeling stressed out, tired, frustrated.

[00:07:05] And too busy to really do what I'm supposed to do. And every time that happens, I end up feeling like I don't have enough time, even though I often times do. And the truth is that's the same for you. So the first step and the most important step is always to really sit down with your calendar and your to-do list and your other task and figure out what are my priorities, what are my values?

[00:07:36] What is really important to me and what can I do to begin to bring these things into a. And don't get me wrong. I'm not saying if you're working two jobs so that you could put a roof over your head and food on your table, you run right out and quit your job so that you can go out and do something that feels better.

[00:07:54] What I am saying is until you identify a path towards that, you're going to [00:08:00] stay feeling too busy, overwhelmed, and stressed out. But if you identify a path and begin walking down that path, you'll immediately begin to feel. And that's what I teach. That's what we try to do. It's not about living out your calling magically.

[00:08:19] It's about doing the hard work, doing the deep work so that you truly can live your life in alignment and do what God calls you to do. Thanks for listening.
