Show Notes:
- Why is getting good enough, not good enough? --- Sam thought about this question and realized you may reach a plateau when you feel you have reached good enough and it can prevent you from achieving more.
- We segment our lives and think that the things that happen at work doesn't affect our home life or vise versa.
- Sometimes if we are doing really well in one area and are
getting recognized and applauded, we may neglect other areas.
- You don't want to come home one day with a pocket full of money and realize your home is full of strangers.
- Sam uses a metaphor of a tree.
- The roots are your identity and faith.
- The fruit is your career, health, finances, and relationships.
- The trunk that connects the roots and fruit is your mission. (Sam loves to help people walk through and define their mission.)
- If the roots aren't in good shape, the rest will not do well.
- Acres of Diamonds was a lecture by Russell Conwell, founder of Temple University in 1869. Conwell says you have what you need in hand, put your shovel in the ground and start.
- Sam's book, Why Aren’t You Thriving?: A Man’s Guide to Asking Tough Questions and Getting Better in 7 Core Areas, is designed for you to not read the whole book. There is an assessment at the end that will determine how you are doing in 7 key areas.
- The book will help you determine your individual path. It is available at amithriving.com
