The Professional never allows occasional success to be the norm, to ALWAYS WIN is what the Professional Mindset Individuals will always work towards and believe in.

While the amateur may have long given up, all because of the four-letter word: WORK
The Professional is still at it, still putting in the work all in the effort to create their own luck. To STACK THE ODDS in their favor.

Episode 267, continues to focus on STACKING THE ODDS. Some say must fight a fair fight. Some say the only way to truly win is to do what it takes by having the ODDS stacked in your favor.

Isn't stacking odds just like cheating? Yes and No.
Yes, in that you are doing everything within your power to get that advantage over others. You wrote one book when they wrote zero. You ran a marathon while others run the half-marathon. You climb Mt. Everest while they can never get out of Base Camp. You put in the work to better yourself while they rest on their laurels.

NO. In that it is NOT your fault nor are you to blame when other choose to put in the barebones minimum and wonder why they lost.

Darwin's Survival of the Fittest or those that adapt to change are the ones that are going to win, to succeed.

Listen to this 12 minute episode to learn how the AMATEUR mindset individual looks at STACKING THE ODDS versus how the PROFESSIONAL mindset stacks the odds ever in their favor.

There are different levels of practicing just as there are different reasons to practice. The ONLY reason to PRACTICE is to become better. Either you are practicing to sharpen you skills or honing your craft. Better still you practice to become a better human being.

The ONLY trick to becoming better with PRACTICE is to be consistent. Consistent practice moves you beyond the Amateur mindset and delivers you in the ABOVE AVERAGE side of the Bell Curve of Life.

Consistency is what make us better and through PRACTICE we get there faster. We get there faster and then we want more. To get more we have to continue to PRACTICE.

In this episode, I talk about FEEDBACK.

In this series, David shares with you the second part of the fifth chapter served in two parts: FEEDBACK (part 2).

Episode 262, focuses on those that have a Professional Mindset and how Feedback is a critical component of all relationships of all types. This includes the relationship we have with ourselves. As Self-Leaders we are growing, learning, and experiencing life. This also means that as we put ourselves out there, we might not always be giving off the vibe we intend to or are presenting ourselves in a not so positive light. This is where feedback comes in.

For the Professional, feedback is how leaders grow. Feedback is also how leaders help others grow. In this episode, I mention how the Beatles and David Bowie used FEEDBACK to continuously improve, get better, and remain relevant.

The Professional also knows that feedback is part of life. That is why the Professional Mindset Level individual will hunt high and low for Feedback. They will take the feedback and use it to grow and getter. So, Get Better.

Whether you are an Amateur or Professional or on your way from the former to the latter, I invite you to listen to this 13-minute episode, as you will hear my perspective on FEEDBACK and how to apply it to YOUR life.

As we continue our journey from Amateur to Professional, thus we must continue to remind ourselves to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

Self-Leadership - Feedback (part 1) - MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL

Welcome to Episode 261 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about FEEDBACK.

Feedback is a critical component of all relationships of all types. This includes the relationship we have with ourselves. As Self-Leaders we are growing, learning, and experiencing life. This also means that as we put ourselves out there we might not always be giving off the vibe we intend to or are presenting ourselves in a not so positive light. Thus is where feedback comes in.

For the amateur, feedback is usually something they claim they want but are quick to get on the defense. Before the feedback is delivered the Amateur mindset individual goes on the offense. Thus, in most cases, good feedback goes down the drain because the individual was never taught or learned how to accept feedback or is so insecure with who they are that they would NOT recognize feedback if it came with a free gold bar.

Of course, not all with an Amateur mindset scoff at feedback. Some actually look for feedback, it is what they do with that FEEDBACK that matters most. 

.
Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

Self-Leadership - Know Yourself (part 2) - MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL

Welcome to Episode 260 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about Knowing Yourself (part 2)

In this second part of a two part chapter on Making The Jump From Amateur To Professional, David continues talking about the chapter known as KNOW YOURSELF and how knowing yourself now will greatly improve your odds as you shift and stay in the Professional mindset. Taking advantage of those opportunities where you, alone, get to challenge yourself helps change your mindset from that of someone who thinks like an amateur to someone that is tired of “going with the flow” and moving up and out to something better. Speaking of going with the flow, remember even a dead fish goes with the flow of the current.

Instead of wasting time on thinking about things, when you get to know yourself you come to the realization that you are ready to do more to achieve more than those still stuck in the rut of their lives known as being an amateur.

Remember, it is when you get to know yourself, your limits and your capabilities start to expand and grow, just like countless Professional do every day. Just shifting your mindset to a place you know you can be, then will you succeed.

In this 11 minute episode, you will hear David share his perspective on Getting To Know Yourself and how to apply it to YOUR life.

We are still on that journey from Amateur to Professional, thus we must never forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW

In episode 259, David continues his 2023 SELF-LEADERSHIP initiative to help MAKE THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL.

In this series, David shares with you the fourth chapter served in two parts: KNOW YOURSELF (part 1).

In this first part of a two part chapter on Making The Jump From Amateur To Professional, David introduces you to the this chapter to KNOW YOURSELF and how knowing yourself now will greatly improve your odds as you shift and stay in the Professional mindset. Sadly, the amateur mindset individual has no time to bother with getting to know themselves. 

The amateur would rather waste time on thinking they know others and how they act, behave, all while having absolutely no clue on who they truly are instead of having a little discipline to take the time to get to know themselves if for nothing else but to help identify why those with an amateur mindset constantly find themselves lacking.

It is when you get to know yourself, your limits and your capabilities that you can start defining your aspirations and deliver on your goals, like countless Professional do every day. Just shifting your mindset to a place you know you can be, then will you succeed.

In this 15 minute episode, you will hear David share his perspective on Getting To Know Yourself and how to apply it to YOUR life. 

We are still on that journey from Amateur to Professional, thus we must never forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

Welcome to Episode 258 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
In this episode, I talk about DISCIPLINE (part 2)

In this new series, David shares with you the third chapter served in two parts: DISCIPLINE (part 2).

In this second part of a two part chapter on Making The Jump From Amateur To Professional we continue talking about the component of Discipline and how being disciplined affects the Professional Mindset Individual. The Professional mindset individual looks at discipline as a long term process, almost life long. The Professional knows there are no shortcuts to getting to what they want to achieve and sustain.

FOCUS + DEDICATION + CONSISTENCY = DISCIPLINE

It is through discipline that success is accomplished. Discipline is what makes teams legends, great relationship, people into leaders.

To be disciplined means putting in the work. Putting in the work day in and day out. When it comes to discipline two things are certain:

There are No Shortcuts to being Disciplined.

Discipline is ALL about holding Yourself Accountable.

In this 10 minute episode, you will hear David share his perspective on Disciplined Individuals and how they affect themselves and how they can positively & negatively affect a team.

In this episode, I talk about DISCIPLINE.

In this first part of a two part chapter on Making The Jump From Amateur To Professional you are introduced to the component of Discipline and how being disciplined differs from the amateur mindset individuals. The amateur mindset individual's look on discipline is short lived or too difficult and remaining an amateur is the easier path to complacency and mediocrity. 

Focus + Consistency = Discipline

It is through discipline that success is made. Discipline is what makes teams legends, great relationship, people into leaders.

To be discipline means putting in the work. Putting in the work day in and day out. When it comes to discipline two things are certain:

1. There are No Shortcuts to being disciplined.

2. Discipline is ALL about holding yourself accountable.

In this 14 minute episode, you will hear David share his perspective on Disciplined Individuals and how they affect themselves and how they can positively & negatively affect a team.

Self-Leadership - MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL - Being Diplomatic

Welcome to Episode 255 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.

In this episode, David continues the 2023 SELF-LEADERSHIP initiative: MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL.

In this new series, David shares with you the second chapter served in two parts: BEING DIPLOMATIC (part 1).

Diplomacy is what makes change happen. Being diplomatic is what greases the wheels of progress. Then again, diplomacy can also hinder progress. By having the skill set to be diplomatic, you as a leader, will go far. It is when you cannot be diplomatic that you will truly never be a leader. 

At most, you can be a bad manager but anyone refuses to be diplomatic is the moment that individual has failed to attain any level of leadership. By lacking the diplomacy, the individual find themselves at the extreme ends of the poles of leadership. Either they become bullies or they become submissive. Both are NOT what being a leader is about. Recognizing that diplomacy is needed in all situations that any leader at any level will find themselves in.

.
Don't forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

Of course, he shares the other side and shares what the Amateur mindset looks like as well as those that have shown signs of greatness but seem to fall short of making it to the Professional Mindset level. 

Do not forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND & GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 14 minutes and listen to the Episode 254 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!
