As you may know, I am a huge fan of Beachbody. They are the company that are responsible for P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire, and so much more! As I started researching Beachbody, I fell in love with their company! I started following as many of their staff as I could! That is how I found Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam!

When I start following Chalene on Twitter, I really liked what she had to say. She shared a lot about motivation, productivity, marketing, branding, leadership, and more. Over time, I became a huge fan of Chalene.

Book Review: Eat That Frog

As I was reviewing my goals last year, I realized that I did not accomplish a few of the bigger goals that I had set for myself. In evaluating why, I came to the conclusion that I did a horrible job prioritizing my time and to-do lists. I focused on what felt good and could be accomplished quickly so I could always be living on an adrenaline rush! The result was me feeling really good all the time, but not producing the big things I wanted to produce.

My conclusion: I have to change. I need to learn how to become more productive and effective at using my time in order to achieve my goals.

Discover Your Top 5 Strengths!

“The best way to get ahead in your career and be satisfied in your job is to focus on developing your strengths.”

“Our studies indicate that people who do have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general.” -Tom Rath and Markus Buckingham

There is more and more research showing that the people are the most successful in life are the ones that focus on growing and developing in the area of their strengths.

I was listening to John Maxwell one day and he talked about the book, “Strength Finders 2.0” which is the sequel to “Now Discover Your Strengths”. John makes everyone that joins his team read the book and take the test. He wants to know the strengths of those who work for him so he can energize them and put them where they are most effective.

As a result, I got the book, and took the assessment! It was an extremely eye-opening experience. I’ve listed my top 5 strengths below.

Too many people focus on their weaknesses in life. Too many people don’t know what they are good at or where they would add the most value. Too many people are not working in the area of their strengths and passions. That needs to change!

I have listed a few action steps for you below, I’d encourage you to go through this process and start developing your strengths!
