BRX Pro Tip: Make Your Own Rules
Stone Payton: Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk about the rules.
Lee Kantor: Yeah. This is important to both you and I. This is one of our kind of – I don’t want to say pet peeve, but it’s definitely one of the hot button issues for both of us. People are taught to follow rules, but they’re rarely taught how to create their own rules, that is going to help you get what you want. And true growth and achievement comes from defining your own standards, boundaries, and methods that are tailored to achieving your goals and values.
Lee Kantor: I think it’s so important when you make your own rules, you’re taking control of your path instead of being limited by what other people’s expectations are or whatever rules that they’ve set forth. You’re allowed to make your own rules. You’re allowed to do this, so you don’t have to kind of follow the path that’s in front of you or do what everybody else is doing. You can come up with your own way of achieving whatever it is you’re trying to achieve. So, when you customize rules, this is allowing you to break free from conventional thinking. You’re opening doors to new possibilities, new strategies, new solutions.
Lee Kantor: Number three, self-made rules align with your daily actions, and your unique vision, and how you see the world. This is going to kind of really make you more motivated, and it’s going to make you more disciplined because you’re the ones deciding the rules. And remember, you can adjust your rules as you learn and you grow. It doesn’t have to be a fixed system. And that’s where I think it holds a lot of people back. They think the system is fixed, and you can’t change or learn or grow, but the opposite is true. You should always be changing and learning and growing.
Lee Kantor: A lot of times these fixed systems are obstacles that you just think that, “Oh, well, that’s the way it is.” Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. So, start by identifying what truly matters to you. Then, design simple rules that guide your decisions and actions towards success on your own terms, rather than just, “Oh, well, that’s the way it’s always been.” It doesn’t have to be that way. You’re allowed to make your own rules.
