Welcome to another episode of The Exceptional Business Podcast! This time, we are joined by Greg Wiggins, a long-time friend and the brilliant mind behind RedBird Consulting. Greg is a professional problem solver who excels at finding solutions in the most challenging situations. Today, we explore the power of clarity and how it can transform both your business and personal life.
Why Clarity Matters
In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of clarity. We discuss four critical quadrants that everyone should consider:
- Clarity of Your Worldview – Understanding your core values.
- Clarity of Your Dream Future – Knowing where you want to go.
- Clarity of Your Current Reality – Acknowledging where you are now.
- Clarity of The Blueprint – Planning how to get to your goals.
Greg shares how achieving clarity can be a game-changer. If you’re bombarded by constant inputs like social media and emails, it’s tough to achieve clarity. Taking time to sit quietly and journal can help focus your thoughts.
Real-life Examples
Greg talks about his personal experience relocating from Texas to Idaho. He shares how he and his wife were presented with an unexpected opportunity, prompting them to pray, reflect, and ultimately decide what would make them proud in the future.
Greg also recalls a story from his Navy days. An officer named Matt O’Loughlin handed out Snickers bars during a tough training. This small act of service made a big impact, showing the power of leadership and service in gaining clarity.
Serving Others vs. Serving Yourself
One of our major topics is whether you should focus on serving yourself or others. Greg mentions an encounter with his mentor, who taught him the importance of steady and handy service. Being dependable and valuable to others is essential for meaningful leadership and success.
We emphasize that businesses are tools for achieving broader life goals. Like coaches in sports, business leaders need to help their teams develop life skills rather than just focus on the game itself.
Key Takeaways
- Remove Noise: Disconnect from social media and constant inputs to achieve clarity.
- Personal Alignment: Make sure you and your family are aligned when making major decisions.
- Consistent Reflection: Take time regularly to review your goals and current reality.
- Service and Leadership: Effective leadership involves serving your employees and customers well.
