S4E1: You've Got Two Buckets

Descripción

Imagine two buckets. On each there is a label that reads: 🪣 - Bucket #1: Things you CAN change 🪣 - Bucket #2: Things you CAN’T change You can only choose to carry one around with you at any given moment. Some things that always are within reach for you within bucket #1: * Your response to the things that happen * The story you tell yourself about what is happening or has happened * What you choose to make / build / think about/ do * Your next decision Some things that always out of your reach, deep in the endless bottom of bucket #2: * What other people think of you or your ideas * What other people make / build / think about/do * What the weather does * What your favorite (or least favorite) sports team/politician/religious leader/business does * The events of the past * Basically everything else When you’re focused on the things in Bucket #1 🪣, you will feel empowered, centered, (mostly) at peace, and in a state of flow and presence. When you’re focused on the things in Bucket #2🪣, you will feel powerless, scattered, afraid, frustrated, disappointed, angry, and in a state of chaos, anxiety, and distraction. Accepting (and yes, perhaps even embracing) the things you can’t change — and then acting accordingly — isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s the only thing that will actually leave you feeling empowered out of that hole 🕳 you’ve found yourself stuck in. The first step to getting out of a hole is to stop pretending you’re not in one in the first place. The question then becomes: what are you going to do about it? You’ve got two buckets in that hole with you. Only one of them will help you get out of it.

S4E2: The Science of Getting Rich - interview by Azul Terronez

This is a repurposed episode of the Authors Who Lead Podcast with Azul Terronez, where I was interviewed about my latest book. Here are the show notes to go with it [https://authorswholead.com/2021/12/23/episode185/] (excerpt below): “Where most people fall apart when they’re using their imagination to envision their ideas is they don’t take action.” —Ryan J. Rhoades A small, green, 99-cent book at a thrift store changed Ryan J. Rhoades’s life. At the time, he had just gone from running a design agency in the thriving Silicon Valley area to starting over basically from scratch in Oregon. He was desperately searching for inspiration and ideas when he decided to search through the business books section in a local second-hand store. On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk to Ryan J. Rhoades about the thrift store find that changed his life and how he came about publishing his own version of the book, The Science of Getting Rich: How to Manifest and Monetize Your Ideas [https://www.amazon.com/Science-Getting-Rich-Manifest-Monetize-ebook/dp/B09HRQ6XKB]. The Little Green Book The book that Ryan picked up was a second version of the original The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles, which was first published in 1910 and is now in the public domain. Public domain means that the original copyright of that book has expired and now can be republished by anyone. Since Ryan was basically starting over, he was challenging a lot of the notions about his business. He would doodle notes in the margin of this little green book as he read it and thought about how it applied to his business and life. Soon he had so many ideas to add to this book, he decided to create a new edition with his additions and self-publish it. Eventually, Ryan was approached by a New York publishing house to update his self-published version. He had previously done design work for this publishing house, so when he posted on social media about the book, they saw it and were interested in publishing it. He enjoyed the process of publishing with them and appreciated the opportunity of creating the new edition. THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH There are a lot of different reactions to and interpretations of the law of attraction and books like The Science of Getting Rich. I asked Ryan what he thought the science of getting rich is all about. Ryan understands the different points of view on this topic because when he originally saw the book in the thrift store, his first reaction to the title was one of disbelief. But after working with the content to create a new version of the book, Ryan realized that it really boils down to “focusing on what you can control. Take action every day to work on your ideas.” You can spend forever envisioning a successful life, but if there is no action behind it, opportunities can’t manifest. Ryan goes on to describe the science of getting rich as the very essence of entrepreneurship. As you put yourself out there and work on your ideas, you’ll find out who your market is and how your audience will respond. And then you repeat the things that work and scale them.
