Celia Wang!
Hey, Andy, love your attitude about work.
Shouldn't we all have fun.
Really?
What advice would you give to highly motivated goal oriented people to prevent burnout at
a job?
What key things?
We should keep in mind daily.
So, you know, what can we give her a car?
I mean like Celia, that, that is so awesome.
Just email us at support@milewalk.com.
I will give you my resume writing master class or my interview intervention course.
You can take your pick.
This question is fantastic.
I struggle with it every day, right?
And every day I reset myself and I know a lot of people that enjoy what they're doing.
I work seven days a week.
I do.
It's not, I'm not wearing it like a badge of armor.
I'm just telling you that if you want to be great at what you do, and you want to be the
best in the world, it's not going to happen between nine and five, Monday through Friday.
Okay.
It just isn't.
And if you want to own your own business, same kind of thing.
And if you want to serve people, same kind of thing, and really, really great stuff in
this world takes time.
No shortcut ever gave you what you deserved.
Okay?
So you are going to have to work a lot.
You are going to have to have goals that keep pushing you.
So to the question, when you are goal oriented, the best way, the single greatest way, and
you can break this up, but the single greatest way to avoid burnout is the way in which you
process, uh, actually no pun intended your goals.
So if I have a goal, for example, that says, I'm going to run a promotion on my job, search
boot camp, and I'm going to work really hard and I'm going to do a lot of stuff.
And I Friday, at the end of the day, when that promotion ends or whatever it is, I'm
going to count up all the people.
I'm going to look at all the dollars.
And I set a goal for myself or the number of people and amount of revenue and all that
good stuff.
And if I don't hit it, I'm going to be really upset, right?
There are people that are out there that process the world that way, as opposed to the different
goals, that the goals that I focus on are not how much money am I going to make?
How much, how many people are going to enter into my community or my program or whatever.
It's okay.
Today's Wednesday.
Now there's a balance to what I do on Wednesday.
And I have to do certain things in the morning.
I do certain things mid morning.
Then I have a show with you.
Then there's certain things I'm going to do after.
And certain things I'm going to do after.
And so on the day before the week before I look at the whole week, the day before I look
at the whole day, when I wake up in the morning, I look at that day and I focus on just doing
the things that I effectively planned to do that are going to contribute to my ability
to support that promotion.
But along the way, it's my service to you.
It's doing a, a good job helping you with your career during our live show.
I'm only here with you right now.
I'm completely focused on your question.
I'm completely focused on giving you the best answer.
That's all I can do.
So when I look at my day, each, each day, weekends included, what does my day look like?
I think about the whole day I go through it in pieces in my head.
I play it right?
Like what's going to happen?
What could happen?
How would I react then before I started each activity, I think about, okay, how do I want,
what do I want to happen in this hour, this half hour, this 15 minutes.
What would be good about that?
What could happen?
All that good stuff.
And I'm continually doing that.
What happens is each day, it's like a refresh each hour.
It's like a refresh.
I pack up what I just did in the previous hour.
I think about what this hour and a half with you guys is going to look like, what I'm hoping
is going to happen.
What could potentially happen?
Like the internet could go out or something like that.
I don't pay any attention.
I liked that a bunch of you show up, but if one of you shows up or 300 of you show up,
we're going to do the show the same way kind of thing.
And I'm going to give you my best.
And then when that's done, I'm going to, I'm going to go to lunch.
And then when that's done, I'm going to go and I'm going to write some other stuff for
you or the rest of the week and so on.
And so each thing there's a joy in doing, it's not about the goal.
It's there.
I like people to have goals for sure.
But if you become obsessed with the outcome goals, you're going to be very stressed out.
You're going to be very burnt out and you're going to be unhappy most of the time, because
you will never be satisfied.
But when I get done with this show, the joy I have no one I gave you everything I had
between 11 and say 1230 makes me happy.
And you know what?
Some of you will jump in the programs and most of you will not.
And I'm great with that because all I can control is the service I give you.
So my focal point is not on the outcome.
It's on my service to you.
After this, it's going to be having a relaxing lunch.
After that, it's going to be writing great messages or putting a show together or whatever
it is.
And so that's how I go through my day.
Same thing on the weekends.
I have things planned.
The other thing that, uh, that I do every morning, Celia is at four 30.
I meditate for 30 minutes.
Actually.
I started about four 35.
I get up.
And I mean, I like I get up, I don't do anything.
I get up, take care of the dogs.
And then right into the meditation.
It's, it's, I'm not still sleeping, I'm awake and it's quiet time.
And it re it sets me for the day.
And then I practice.
So if you did 30 minutes of meditation in a day, that's great.
But then if you go through the rest of the day, all crazed and all stressed and running
from thing to thing that 30 minutes isn't going to do it.
So I almost have a reset as I transitioned between all my activities, by the way, this
is a, for those of you that are in my leadership program, I go into great lengths about this
in the career accelerator program.
There's a module in there about, about all of this, about how to handle the organization
of your, of your, of your year, of your life, of your month, of your week, of your day of
your song and in the transitions I go through and how I reset myself, and then how I set
my expectation for what's gonna come.
And, and I, it's really amazing how, um, alert and frosty.
I am sure I'm human, but I do a lot of other things physically to combat that and the way
that I eat sleep, workout and so on.
So I, you know, the job is a big part of my life, but I enjoy it because I focus on the
enjoyment of every single thing that I need to do with it.
So I hope that helps.
And, uh, and I hope you enjoy the course that, uh, that you're going to grab from us.
Thanks for the question.
That's fantastic.
One Celia.
