Ever Better Today:
Season 2 Episode 16
Flywheel to Fulfillment
Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!
Notes from this episode are below.
In the book, Good to Great, Jim Collins talks about how companies evolve little by little and he compares it to a flywheel. In this episode, I apply his flywheel idea to individuals who are working bit by bit to create a sense of fulfillment in their lives. I’ve narrowed it down to 6 categories – family, fitness, friends, fulfilling work, funds, and fun. Elevating yourself in these six areas bit by bit creates a fulfilling life that gives you a sense of peace, happiness, and well-being.
Seek ways to deepen your relationships and create lasting precious moments. How can you add more fun to family time?
Family
Start by making small changes. They’ll add up to big changes. How can you make fitness fun?
Fitness
Create deeper relationships and friendships. You’ll live longer! Truly!
Friends
Value your work. Find ways to create fulfilling work that you might even describe as fun! Sometimes you’ll need to step away and look at it from a different perspective.
Fulfilling Work
First, appreciate what you’ve got. Then, build your wealth if that’s important to you. If it’s not, enjoy a sense of fulfillment in your current state. Too many people spend their lives chasing after more.
Funds (Money)
If you can incorporate fun into each of the elements above, you’ll be smiling through your day! How can you create space for fun that doesn’t fit into any of the categories above?
