The Simple Life Audit That Fixes Your Progress

So anytime you feel like you're not progressing at the rate at which you want, or you feel like you're falling backwards, it's a good time to audit what you're doing, okay? What's up, Tactical Empire Nation? It's interesting when I come in to record podcasts, and I have a few topics in mind, and I try not to be redundant and repetitive in my topics. But the one thing that I told Jeff probably a year and a half ago, after we were recording two podcasts episodes a week together.

It was like, it's hard to come up with new topics when we know the same, when we know the shit that works, right? But when you have systems and tools that work, you don't need to create the new thing. And so one, one topic that always comes to mind when I think about recording podcasts is auditing your schedule and looking at the things that you're taking action on. I know that might be repetitive and redundant, but stick with me here.

Jeff has actually done a really good job with guys that come into the Tattoo Empire recently about articulating how you don't have to wait until December and January to do your annual plan. You don have to wait until the end of a quarter to create your next 90 plan Right Even though we do this inside the Tactical Empire we do a mid reset in June July We do the annual plan in December January When we do the biannual meetups it the end of a quarter. So we do a 90 day plan. You don't have to wait until the end of these things to do the next one.

You don't have to wait till the end to audit your actions. You can continually and constantly do these audits and reestablish new actions, new levels that you want to reach, growth, maintenance plans on the areas of life that matter, family, fitness, finances, and freedom? Or am I taking the right actions to create more power in my life, more presence, better profits? Okay.

Am I building the life now? What habits did I create that I thought were going to help me that are actually making my life harder and not helping me? You can do that all the time. So anytime you feel like you're not progressing at the rate at which you want, or you feel like you're falling backwards, it's a good time to audit what you're doing.

Okay. And so I need you to take a look at your calendar, right? I like, and you guys have heard me say this on the podcast. I like delineating and separating out macro versus micro.

So I start with macro the big picture broad stroke zoom out 30 feet and look at in my family life what am I doing What do I want And am I doing things to get closer to that right In my fitness, what do I want? And am I doing things that are getting closer to that? In my finances, what do I want? Am I doing things that are getting closer to that?

Just broad stroke, yes or no, rate myself on a scale of one to 10, can't choose seven, right? Then I go down to micro, right? Go back to macro for a second. I look at my schedule.

Do I generally enjoy the flows of my day, right? Yes or no. Okay. Then I go micro level and I piecemeal each of these out within my family.

What are the things that I definitely want to keep doing? What are the things that I may want to add or change? And what do I want to remove? Right.

Very recently, we removed our kids from gymnastics one night a week. They only went one night. So that means they're completely done with gymnastics. This was something we did between sports seasons, one night a week just to keep them working on agility and balance and body strength and get us out of the house or whatever.

But it started to create friction with our schedule on the other things that we're doing because we're in a season right now where my wife is growing her career, I'm building businesses And so that one night a week was actually becoming a struggle for us Okay What are we going to add in Right We added in we been consistently going to church but some Sundays it's the church was at like nine o'clock. So we wouldn't get home till 10 30. So we started doing Saturday night, but now Sunday church, they're going to create a eight o'clock mass and push the nine to nine 30.

So that's actually going to help us. So we'll go back to Sundays, go eight o'clock. right? So we're excited about that.

From fitness, I really don't change too, too much there. I do recognize right now I'm probably drinking less water than I should. I have increased my caffeine intake, so I need to cut back on that, but I'm actually, I don't think I'm committed to that. So I'm not going to say I'm going to do that.

So I want you guys to take a step back. Look at where your finances are. Where are you allocating funds that aren't actually getting you towards your goals? This is really what we do really, really well in the 90 day accelerator, because Jeff and I are unbiased to your life, to your schedule, to your goal.

So we can identify what we feel is working and not working for you based on what you tell us. So good reminder today, less than five minutes to audit the things that are going on in your life. And if you're moving towards what it is that you want or not.
