Episode 087 Show Notes: Knowing Yourself & the Market with Chris Plough

In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into learning more about yourself and identify how and when to bring a new idea to market. This episode is packed full of great advice and exercises from guest Chris Plough, so grab your notebook and pen and let’s dive in!

About Chris Plough

Chris Plough equips epic entrepreneurs for the world that is coming. Having succeeded in both realms, Chris Plough connects the art of inspiration with the business of execution to help shape the frontiers of our world.

Chris’s Top 5 StrengthsFinder Strengths

1. Strategic
2. Futuristic
3. Self-assurance
4. Learner
5. Activator

Key Takeaways

• In overuse, Self-assurance is arrogant. When beautifully tuned, however, it allows you to have humility.
• Spend time every day with reflection (Chris does this through meditation and journaling).
• Identifying your core values starts with noticing and then asking, “Why?”
• By defining your core values, you can gain incredible clarity, which is one of the most powerful gifts you can create for yourself.
• We can only do so much for ourselves. It is important to have people with you who are willing to walk arm-in-arm with you who will tell you what is important—whether it’s positive or really hard to hear.
• The best litmus test for seeing if the world is ready for your new idea is whether people are willing to put money behind their support of your idea.

Time-Stamped Show Highlights

• 1:58 – Chris’s top 5 Strengths
• 2:18 – How Self-assurance shows up for Chris

Self-assurance is the second least-frequent Strength that shows up in top 5 results.

• 3:35 –Chris’s business experience and his diverse background

The breadth at which we experience and we gain comfort in those experiences gives us an ability to gain comfort in what we’ve achieved. When we talk about the stories of things we create, there are highs and lows. It’s important that we share things where we’ve exceeded, but where are the incredibly rough times we’ve had. That allows deeper levels of connections and deeper lessons for ourselves and those who listen.

• 7:40 – All of Chris’s Strengths in action
• 10:08 – How Chris has cultivated his Self-assurance
• 11:08 – The double-edged sword of Strengths

There are three areas of possible weaknesses in our world, and two-thirds of them come from our Strengths: underuse of Strengths, overuse of Strengths, and areas of non-Strengths.

• 14:15 – Chris’s core values and how he defined them

I spent years exploring what the right path is for me. How can I surround myself with the right voices? A lot of it was personal discovery, people I began to associate and surround myself with and how we helped empower each other. Then it was getting really clear as to what my gifts were, what my mission is, and how I can really help to shape and shift this world.

• 17:14 – How to find and define your own core values

Ask “why” at least three times to get down to a core. Often your cores revolve around things within ourselves are perceived weaknesses. Once you understand them, gain comfort with them and grow with them, they become Strengths.

• 22:53 – The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people
• 25:29 – The Johari Window, explained

The whole goal is to expand what you know about yourself, as well as what others know about you.

Johari Window: 

[insert 

• 27:44 – Chris’s best advice to individuals who are ready to get started with a great new idea

Allow for brainstorming. Then figure out which ideas you are right for. List out what the positive and negative motivators are for you. List out what is happening in the world positively and negatively to see if it’s ready for your idea.

Next, go through this matrix. What is your desire to do this? This goes beyond want into passion. Ask what your need is for your idea. Why does this idea matter? Next, ask what your and/or your team’s ability is to execute on the idea. Finally, is this idea right for this time in the world? In the middle of all of this is an idea that is ripe for execution!

• 31:58 – The process of determining the right timing for your idea
• 32:30 – How to identify whether there is a real need for your idea

The simplest way to determining need is asking, “Will the market pay for it?” When someone says, “Yes, your idea is great!” but will not back that yes with a financial investment (no matter how small), tells you something!

At age 20, Shawn was diagnosed with an “incurable” spinal condition known as degenerative disc disease. He spent 2 years believing that there was nothing he could do but manage his disc disease. Why, because the doctors he trusted told him so. 

But then there was a shift. And we'll talk about what that was and how it transformed his whole life today.

Shawn's mission is to help people become the strongest, healthiest, happiest version of themselves.

I think this is my favorite part about Shawn: He believes that we all are AMAZING people being exactly the way we are right now. And he believes that there is a “greater” version of us that can be accessed through the right nutrition, exercise, and transformational mindset.

Shawn's Top 5 StrengthsFinder Themes are Learner, Relator, Strategic, Responsibility, and Command.

Kara Benz is our guest! She is a 34-year-old military spouse and a mother to a beautiful daughter based in central New Jersey. After more than 16 years employed in the bar and restaurant industry, Kara woke up one day eager to expand her horizons.

The Boho Berry Blog started off as a way for Kara to showcase her Bohemian-style jewelry back in April of 2015. She soon began writing about the topics near and dear to her heart: mindfulness, meditation, goal-setting, and personal development.

Boho Berry soon took on a life of its own and has quickly become a hub for creatives seeking to improve their lives through planning, goal setting, and motivation.

To manage stress, anxiety, and a "busy brain", everyone says meditation helps. You should meditate. You need to calm your brain and center. But how?

Julianna Raye has been training individuals and groups in mindfulness for over 17 years. Currently, Julianna is preparing to launch the official teacher training for Unified Mindfulness - at unifiedmindfulness.com/core. She is also a founding member of the mindfulness app, Brightmind which will be available in the spring of 2017. In addition to her work for Unified Mindfulness and Brightmind, she creates onsite and online mindfulness training for enterprise clients through the Flourishing Leadership Institute. She also privately coaches executives in sales and leadership, celebrities, entrepreneurs and group trains company leaders interested in preventative health care and improving the work environment, through mindfulness meditation. Julianna delivers specific mindfulness strategies most relevant to the individual or company’s needs.

 Julianna was drawn to mindfulness over 20 years ago to manage severe anxiety and depression as well as the dramatic emotional ups and downs of life as a professional entertainer. With over 100 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both mindfulness and zen, Julianna has racked up 12,000 plus hours of formal practice time, rewiring her brain and creating a new normal for herself. In a recent study at UCLA comparing long-term meditators’ brains with non-meditators, the results of Julianna’s MRI led to interviews on ABC, Globo and Reuters news outlets, about the benefits of Mindfulness practice. Unified Mindfulness, has been used in research at Harvard Medical Center (with breakthrough results) and other major research centers. In fact Julianna has just completed a mindfulness workplace research study with noted researcher David Creswell, through Carnegie Mellon. This study was a rare opportunity to design and implement a training program for a mid-size company (Fathom Digital Marketing) while having the results rigorously studied by Creswell’s lab. Very little research on mindfulness has been done in the workplace, so the amount of data collected for this study is unprecedented. Stay tuned for the results analysis which will be completed by March of 2017.
