What my dad taught me about getting things done

Let’s face it - our parents are our very first, and often most impactful, teachers. From learning to walk and talk to providing lessons about manners to values, their commitment to this teaching role is core to who we become.

Every dad has his own style, and probably also his own niche in this role. In this episode, you’ll hear about the most important lessons Cherylanne learned from her dad that have shaped her own life, and how you can implement those strategies and tactics for yourself.

Show highlights include:

  • The most important balance to strike in your life. (5:15)
  • How to make important decisions faster. (7:30)
  • The 1-step productivity “technique” that gets rid of procrastination, pondering and endless thinking. (10:45)
  • The simple mindset shift you need to make so you can solve any problem you encounter (this is simple, but not easy). (18:40)
