ABOUT TANNER
Ten years ago Tanner MacIvor was focused on making money and having more experiences. He went into banking to make money and then shifted to consulting to make money while traveling. He was constantly comparing himself to his peers, was chronically stressed and was living for the weekends. One night he broke down and wrote down what his dream life looked like. After realizing his current path would not get him there, he started taking steps to align to his dream life. He started dating his now fiancé Kelly, moved out to Montana, switched drinking in bars with skiing and hiking, and started Anturas Coaching. Now he is helping others live a purposeful life as well.

00:00:28.846 --> 00:00:36.235

00:00:53.576 --> 00:00:57.512
He went into banking to make money and then shifted to consulting to make money.
00:00:57.512 --> 00:01:03.451
While traveling, he was constantly comparing himself to his peers, was chronically stressed and was living for the weekends.
00:01:03.451 --> 00:01:07.126

00:01:07.126 --> 00:01:12.948

00:01:34.469 --> 00:01:35.150
Thanks, brian.
00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:37.042
I hope everyone's having a great day.
00:01:37.042 --> 00:01:44.890
Today I'm going to talk about the four steps of change that can help you live a happier and healthier life, and I'm going to do it through a client story.
00:01:44.890 --> 00:01:54.986
If you're a watchpreneur who wants to make the jump to entrepreneur, or an entrepreneur who wants to make a change in his business or his personal life, I hope this episode is helpful.
00:01:54.986 --> 00:02:01.012
The four steps of change are number one, conducting a self-assessment.
00:02:01.012 --> 00:02:03.447
Number two, setting a vision.
00:02:03.447 --> 00:02:06.628
Number three, outlining your first steps.
00:02:06.628 --> 00:02:09.966
And number four, utilizing an accountability system.
00:02:09.966 --> 00:02:14.001
To expand on these steps, I'm going to share Mike's story.
00:02:15.445 --> 00:02:20.442
Mike and I have been working together for six months and the first thing we did was conduct a self-assessment.
00:02:20.442 --> 00:02:25.112
Through a questionnaire and some probing questions, mike identified a few things.
00:02:25.112 --> 00:02:34.510
Number one, he was completely burnt out, and it wasn't because he had too much work, but instead because he kept putting off his work, because he kept getting distracted.
00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:38.347
Number two, he had a toxic relationship with alcohol.
00:02:38.347 --> 00:02:40.992
And number three, he was directionless.
00:02:40.992 --> 00:02:46.352
After we identified his pain points, we started crafting a future vision.
00:02:46.352 --> 00:02:49.925
What could life look like if we made a change?
00:02:49.925 --> 00:02:55.463
We really needed to narrow down and get specific, but broadly, for Mike.
00:02:55.463 --> 00:03:02.010
That was a world where he was not using alcohol as a crutch, where he was a trusted advisor to his clients and he was in peak health.
00:03:02.010 --> 00:03:09.384
Next, we set quarterly rocks, which are very specific first steps he could take to get closer to his goals.
00:03:10.388 --> 00:03:17.336
For the first quarter, mike decided to number one take an intentional break from alcohol and track his sleep and drinking desires.
00:03:17.336 --> 00:03:20.605
Number two reduce social media to only an hour a day.
00:03:20.605 --> 00:03:23.673
And number three, go to the gym four times a week.
00:03:23.673 --> 00:03:27.040
An hour a day.
00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:28.062
And number three go to the gym four times a week.
00:03:28.062 --> 00:03:29.186
Lastly, we implemented an accountability system For Mike.
00:03:29.186 --> 00:03:36.229
That was an accountability sheet where he wrote down his weekly goals, challenges and accomplishments, as well as a daily habit tracker.
00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:45.123
After just the first quarter, mike adapted a consistent workout routine which boosted his energy and it started trickling into other areas of his life.
00:03:45.123 --> 00:03:50.141
He took two months off from alcohol and is now introducing it back into his life intentionally.
00:03:50.141 --> 00:03:53.912
And you know that automatic finger which goes to your social media app.
00:03:53.912 --> 00:03:55.902
Yep, that's completely gone.
00:03:56.985 --> 00:03:59.471
So if you're looking to make a change, here's the framework.
00:03:59.471 --> 00:04:05.111
Number one conduct a self-assessment and be really honest with yourself in your pain points.
00:04:05.111 --> 00:04:11.813
Number two set a vision by outlining your one and 10-year goals and make it exciting.
00:04:11.813 --> 00:04:17.932
Number three write down your first steps and make sure they are 100% in your control.
00:04:17.932 --> 00:04:21.228
And number four utilize an accountability system.
00:04:21.228 --> 00:04:28.733

00:04:37.187 --> 00:04:38.774
So now it's time to take action.
