In this weeks podcast, Austin, Amer, and John take questions from you guys!The following is a (summarized) quote from Austin on a lesson he wished he learned earlier in life: “very very few things are actually personal. Apart from my family telling me that I’m good or bad at something, or facing me with some harsh reality - that would be personal. Feedback from clients on the other hand has nothing to do with me as an individual. Although there’s value in taking positive or negative feedback in this situation as an opportunity to improve on yourself, there is no value in attributing this feedback to your overall self-worth.”--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theweeklycall/message Hosted on Acast.

Are you catering your business to marginal buyers?Apparently in Kelowna, BC, grocery stores are this magical place where you can buy 4 L of Dairy Land milk. At some stores, this milk costs $5.50, at others it costs $6.00, and the others it costs $8.00. John doesn’t buy this milk because he prefers water buffalo milk. Water buffalo milk is higher in protein, has a higher micro-nutritional profile overall, and John cares a lot about his health!This milk costs $9 for a much smaller volume. However, it’s not worth it for him to buy Dairy Land milk because it just doesn’t include what he’s looking for.John is not a marginal buyer of milk! Are you looking to cater your services and products to John? Or are you looking to target the marginal buyer?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theweeklycall/message Hosted on Acast.

John mentions that using Sam Harris' app, "Waking Up", he received a a notification message from Sam Harris that said "I envy your meditation streak", which John found charming because he did actually feel like his consistency had improved from being aware of this streak. However, Sam Harris' message continued to explain that if you're only present to satisfy your streak, we've really missed the mark on what the intentions of mediating should be. There are no participation medals for meditating. There's no credit if you tell others. There's not even a benefit for you if you haven't participated correctly in the practice. Ultimately, you are either able to live your life completely, or you are not. Take this episode as a reminder to audit your intentions in meditation.

In this weeks podcast, Austin, Amer, and John discuss what it’s like to be a teacher in your business. John makes a comment that he wouldn’t hire anyone into his business that has a quick expiry date. For a role like a painter, this might be doable but for a position that takes a lot more niche skill - like a position that requires sales or heavier business acumen, sometimes it just makes more sense to hire individuals that do not have such a restrictive work term. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theweeklycall/message Hosted on Acast.
