MINDSET, MONEY AND FREEDOM

3 Things to Change Your Life…

by Brendan Chaplin

Hey friend,

I posted on Linkedin this week about masculinity. It’s my most viewed post of all time with 238,000 impressions as I type this. Please check out the post and comment with your thoughts here.

It’s important, the crux of it is this:

If we want better men we must be better men.

Today is a pause for thought.

Firstly we begin with being present. Then we move to creating clients, and finally a concept I call ‘Freedom based Parenting’.

Let’s do this…

MINDSET : 

There is a joy in just being. Not stuck in the past, not obsessed about the future.

Just being.

I came across a concept this week called ‘The Hungry Ghost’ (credit Richard Husseiny).

The hungry ghost is a being who has been condemned walk the earth, always eating and never feeling full.

Never satisfied with what they have. Always wanting more.

I was like that as a strength coach. Always wanted more and more knowledge and experience.

Then as a business owner. Always wanting more customers, bigger reach.

I have that trait, maybe you do too.

But we need to harness it to actually enjoy and be grateful for what we have.

MONEY:

Someone asked me about the difference between creating clients and marketing. There’s a massive difference.

Creating clients doesn’t need any marketing. It’s a mindset.

One of serving, value creation and delivery.

There will be people in your saved phone contacts right now that would love to hear from and could become a client.

There will be people in the local coffee shop.

The person next to you on the train.

The women who runs the local charity shop.

The guy that owns the local car garage.

The create clients mindset is one of approaching, serving, and building relationships.

Invest time and money. Buy them a book. Treat someone to lunch.

Do things that other people will not do. Out of passion not with any agenda.

Think differently to create clients.

FREEDOM:

Freedom based parenting is about being present.

Providing for our children is a fundamental. It’s what drives most people and couples need to have this dialled in. But to what degree?

What is better for your kids, the parent that works all day to provide or the parent that does enough work but is present for breakfast and bedtimes 80% of the days?

I was that guy. Working all hours and missing these critical moments.

And then I spoke to a mother whose son was grown up. She said something that really resonated with me.

“My son is healthy and happy. He’s in his twenties. But I grieve everyday for my little boy”.

It moved me. Because I can see that I will be the same. And I want to have those memories, be there for my children, and enjoy the present.

My children are 5, tomorrow they will be 15 and next month 25.

Now you might read this and say “I don’t have that choice”. But you do. You are free to make any decision you want, including working all hours and not being present.

Very often we mask fear of change with values. What is important to you is what will manifest.

I say this with love….

You do have a choice and you know it.
