The Wake Up Call

Written by: Paul David Thompson: Investor Consultant and Fund Manager
  • Summary

  • My Wake-Up Call came in 2015, when I realized that I had had enough of my corporate job and was ready to take back control of my life. The world and economy are constantly changing, and the best thing you can learn is how to spend your time and energy working *on* your business instead of in it. I’m Paul Thompson, and in my podcast we’ll be discussing exactly that—how to build and grow your investment portfolio from the ground up. With each episode, you’ll hear inspiring stories from those who have already experienced their wake-up call, and are doing something about it. Real Estate professionals, industry leaders, and more, will join me to discuss how owning and renting property has changed their lives and the lives of their families for the better. It can do the same for you. Join us and revolutionize your portfolio, investments… and your life.

  • 254: The Transformative Power of Intentional Living with Chris King
    Jun 11 2024

    Description:

    Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.

    In this thought-provoking episode, Paul and Chris delve into the profound concepts of individual agency, self-sabotage, and the power of alignment between our inner experiences and external realities. They explore strategies for breaking free from limiting beliefs, overcoming procrastination, and harnessing the transformative potential within each of us. With real-life examples and actionable insights, this episode equips listeners with the tools to become the architects of their personal operating systems and achieve their most audacious goals.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. The Banister Principle: Our beliefs shape our reality, and by shifting our mindset, we can break through self-imposed limitations and accomplish seemingly impossible feats.
    2. Self-Verification Loop: Our thoughts drive our actions, which reinforce our beliefs, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. To effect change, we must interrupt this loop and align our experiences with our desired outcomes.
    3. Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Procrastination and self-sabotage often stem from misaligned goals or a desire for dopamine-driven stimulation. By identifying our true desires and managing distractions, we can stay focused and motivated.
    4. Empowering Teams and Building Culture: Effective leadership involves creating a shame-free environment, empowering teams through mindful communication, and prioritizing effectiveness over being right.
    5. Authenticity and Transformation: Letting go of the ego and embracing authenticity allows us to access a deeper sense of purpose and facilitates profound personal transformation.
    6. Coaching for Alignment: Transformative coaching provides a supportive framework for individuals to confront their limiting beliefs, align their inner and outer experiences, and achieve remarkable personal and professional growth.
