As Improvers, we look to make things (and people) better than before.  We put immense pressure on ourselves to adjust, evolve, and adapt to the best version we can be.   We don't want to see wasted potential.However, this drive to be better can cause us to always be looking at the next best thing.  We're always climbing the next rung on the ladder and never turning around to take in the view.  This is not healthy for ourselves or our teams, but where this perhaps has the most negative impact is on our family.   If you are a parent, you desire the best for your child.  You want them to be all they can be.  Herein lies the trap...what if in your desire to improve, you are actually causing harm or making things worse?@improvercoach spends 10 minutes unpacking this idea and making suggestions on how you can avoid the negative results associated with the constant improvement mindset.*Podcast audio pulled from our Improver coaching videos on YouTube.  Subscribe and learn more here https://www.youtube.com/@improvercoachWatch the video: https://youtu.be/_sdhw-U3mPE?si=cN_r9UXLZNhNt4Nd

Hi Improvers! As we go through life, striving to better ourselves and our businesses, there is something that we must not forget along the way: grace. Grace will carry us through every stage of life, from business challenges and relationship difficulties to moments of joy and triumph. Fostering grace within ourselves is even more powerful; it spurs loving kindness for others as well as for ourselves.We should take note when grace is lacking in any area of our lives and remind those around us to do the same; fostering a welcoming mindset will create success regardless of what endeavors we pursue. Ingrained with grace may we enjoy brighter futures together!*Podcast audio pulled from our Improver coaching videos on YouTube.  Subscribe and learn more here https://www.youtube.com/@improvercoachWatch the video: https://youtu.be/tx--t1MPFLw?si=LNZwkyR6I1vyAVk5#improver  #improvercoach #improvernetwork #growth #business #entrepreneur #leadership #JustinWinsteadTheImproverCoach #theimprovercoach #lifecoach #careermotivation #successmindset #lifegoals #businessgoals #servantleader  #christianleadership

Most of us arrive at our decisions in the wrong manner.  We test the boundaries in all the wrong ways and evaluate our choices through what is the most comfortable or fun for us.We spend the max amount we can afford and then some.  We skirt as close to the line as we can without major negative consequences.  We delay until the last minute.  Instead of thinking through what feels good or right, or what appears to be comfortable or fun, we should make our decisions based on what is wise based for our situation.*Podcast audio pulled from our Improver coaching videos on YouTube.  Subscribe and learn more here https://www.youtube.com/@improvercoachWatch the video: https://youtu.be/kzbDgmuU1fQ?si=XSFBJZadqeUkGoRY
