Robby: You're listening to the brand
ed bullet from the brand ed podcast.

00:00:04.816 --> 00:00:08.741
Four freaky fast Friday wins to
get you going for your weekend.

00:00:09.161 --> 00:00:09.731
Let's go!

00:00:14.575 --> 00:00:19.135
Normally, we start this digest off
with something to try, but this digest

00:00:19.135 --> 00:00:21.145
we're going in the reverse order.

00:00:21.705 --> 00:00:23.965
Win number one, something personal.

00:00:24.625 --> 00:00:26.755
Hurry it's everywhere.

00:00:26.785 --> 00:00:32.095
Hurry is a silent killer of joy,
being present, and making memories.

00:00:32.095 --> 00:00:38.365
For example, these digest I tried
to keep short because like me,

00:00:38.365 --> 00:00:40.525
you are probably in a hurry.

00:00:41.005 --> 00:00:46.015
That's because running a personal brand
business and hurry are great friends.

00:00:46.015 --> 00:00:47.155
They're best buds.

00:00:47.155 --> 00:00:51.055
Business and busy-ness
riding side by side.

00:00:51.505 --> 00:00:57.445
I'm trying to awaken myself to this more,
to move from befriending hurry to frenemy.

00:00:57.895 --> 00:01:00.925
And then hopefully on to enemy.

00:01:01.405 --> 00:01:06.235
I'm officially going on
record that I hate hurry.

00:01:06.625 --> 00:01:07.525
Will you join me?

00:01:07.975 --> 00:01:10.255
When number two, something to think about.

00:01:10.705 --> 00:01:14.095
Hurry is a form of violence on the soul.

00:01:14.365 --> 00:01:18.835
And right now everything is
being intentionally designed

00:01:18.865 --> 00:01:23.545
for distraction and addiction,
because that's where the money is.

00:01:23.905 --> 00:01:29.125
That's a quote from John Mark Comer in his
book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.

00:01:29.575 --> 00:01:30.835
So here's the challenge for you.

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:32.980
Will you set aside two minutes today?

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:34.180
Not tomorrow.

00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.140
Today.

00:01:35.170 --> 00:01:37.240
Turn everything off.

00:01:37.630 --> 00:01:40.240
And just take stock of your hurry.

00:01:40.515 --> 00:01:43.455
I would love for you to DM me
and let me know how that went.

00:01:44.025 --> 00:01:47.085
When number three, something
had client recently asked.

00:01:47.475 --> 00:01:50.625
I was meeting with the leadership
team in a business strategy

00:01:50.625 --> 00:01:54.915
sprint recently, and they were
sharing how distracted they were.

00:01:55.245 --> 00:01:56.625
Read hurried.

00:01:57.190 --> 00:02:00.610
So I asked each one of the
four to answer these questions.

00:02:01.030 --> 00:02:04.900
To grow your business, what
three things do you need to do

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:08.500
every day that only you can do?

00:02:08.950 --> 00:02:13.660
And then I asked each of them, what
do you need to eliminate off of

00:02:13.660 --> 00:02:18.550
your plate so that they can focus
on the three things they need to do.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.210
How do you stay focused on
your most important tasks?

00:02:22.690 --> 00:02:24.430
When number four, something to try.

00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:27.520
Say it with me now, death to hurry.

00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:33.130
Here are some ways to put, hurry
to death, try one or more of these.

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:37.120
Read the elimination of
hurry by John mark comer.

00:02:37.570 --> 00:02:42.370
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier, wake
up 30 minutes earlier and spend that

00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:45.550
30 minutes unhurried and unplugged.

00:02:45.805 --> 00:02:49.195
Set a time to take a short walk
with a friend or by yourself with

00:02:49.195 --> 00:02:53.995
no headphones on, just listen to the
birds and the sounds of the wind.

00:02:54.445 --> 00:02:57.925
Connect with someone who
lives an unhurried life.

00:02:58.615 --> 00:03:02.575
Someone from the past, that could
be an author, a poet, or an artist.

00:03:02.935 --> 00:03:08.965
Almost anyone prior to the 20th
century lived a far less hurried life.

00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:12.625
Spend a few minutes each
day, hanging out with them.

00:03:13.075 --> 00:03:15.715
It's a great way to unplug.

00:03:16.165 --> 00:03:19.315
No, there are no quick fixes
to detangle from hurry.

00:03:19.315 --> 00:03:22.945
So don't be in a hurry
to get rid of hurry.

00:03:22.975 --> 00:03:25.285
Just begin to adjust your rhythms.

00:03:25.705 --> 00:03:30.085
Tell a friend that you're trying to
do this and enjoy the slow river drift

00:03:30.085 --> 00:03:34.318
towards a less hurried life and business.

00:03:35.526 --> 00:03:38.436
