Growing through vulnerable conversations.

I’m joined by Jeremy Todd on the show today. Jeremy and I talk about motivation, mindset, accountability and the power of vulnerability. Listen to find out tips on the power of habit, routine and honesty in being happy and successful.    Having started out as a salesman, Jeremy enjoys giving motivational talks and tips on how to be a great salesman. His passion for inspiring other people is what led him to start his podcast, through which he hopes to help those stuck in the treadmill of life.    Jeremy shares why it’s important to open up and talk about your shortcomings and challenges in life. Being vulnerable can go a long way in unburdening life’s troubles from your mind, thus helping you become the better version of yourself.  We also talk about why it’s important to have a consistent daily routine. Through repetition, we absorb information into the deeper recess of our minds, helping us become better at solving future problems.    Being Busy Vs Being Productive It’s easy to be busy and not productive. A lot of people are usually busy but very unproductive. The key to achieving more in life is focusing on what you can do best, and doing it with all your might and strength. This is how we become productive.  It’s also important to invest in a life coach to help you become more accountable of your life goals.  And don’t just hire any coach. There’s a lot of fake life gurus all over social media.  Filtering the fake from the real can be the major determinant as to the direction of your life in regards to taking accountable action to achieve what you desire.  By having a coach who is open, honest and vulnerable, also helps you be just as vulnerable.    Jeremy’s Superpower.  Jeremy’s superpower is his vulnerability.  Jeremy always makes sure to constantly check his ego and ask for help where he’s not good at.  Genuinely asking for help can greatly improve your skillset, as 99% of people are more than willing to offer a helping hand when asked.  By being vulnerable, we can also inspire other people to open up and be just as authentic as ourselves.    We wind up with Jeremy discussing why it’s important to expand your horizon by travelling, networking and meeting new people in life. Socializing in such a manner helps you become more open-minded and socially intelligent.  Quotes.  Even though it’s difficult to see it at the moment, vulnerabilities are opportunities for you to show your greatness. It’s during our darkest hour that we have the power to open up and grow through honesty.    In life, the two most important days of your life are the day you're born and the day you find out why. And I truly believe the day I found out my why was when I started motivating and helping people.   Sometimes not being in control is the best thing. Letting go of the steering wheel, and being open about what you’re struggling with can be the key changing moment that you need. Learn to be open about what you’re going through, and if not for yourself, then you should do it for your close friends and family.   Timestamps   00:39 Todd’s background  03:00 Keeping a positive environment 05:48 Practicing routine.  06:06 Accountability and life coaches.  13:22 Moving from your comfort zone  16:24 Being busy versus being productive 20:31 Creating good habits 22:08 Embracing our individual uniqueness through the process of life. 24:31 The power of calmness 25:46 Letting vulnerability become your strength 29:54 Finding balance in life    Connect with Jeremy Website - https://thepositivesidepodcast.com/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.todd12  Twitter - https://twitter.com/j_todd12  Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1200318814
