Micro Class: Good, Better, Best

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another micro class. This one's on Good, Better, Best. It's inspired by the champions mind by Jim Afromo. Good, Better, Best. So another thing that champions do really well is the post performance evaluation. Now almost every single mental toughness coach, mental training coach says it's extraordinarily important to evaluate your performance after you do something, obviously, but that most of us do it wrong. Most of us start out with the negative stuff. Oh man, I did this wrong and.

I did that wrong and I did that wrong and I need to get better.

Now obviously we need to focus on things that need work, but we need to start with what's working. So Jim has three questions he recommends we ask after each performance. First we say, what was good? What did I do that just was awesome? Oh, let me take note of that. Let me celebrate that. Let me do more of that. Let me ingrain that in my consciousness before I get to what could I do better? So what could have I done better?

Right?

We've talked about that as needs work, which I love that phrase, needs work. What needs work? Approach it with a warm, neutral, supportive coach's perspective.

Right?

You're not judging yourself, you're not berating yourself, you're looking at it and saying objectively, well, okay, yeah, that could have used some work. Let me get excited about it. And then the third question is, what do I need to change in my behavior so that I can be my best? I'm going to do that such that I can get better and such that I can make that something I celebrate next time around. Good, better, best. Really cool way to go through your post performance review. Remember, don't start with the negative stuff. And if you are a parent, obviously if you're a manager or a leader, it applies as well. If you're a parent, don't start with, you know, your kids when they come home from a sporting event of hey, you know, if you ask them how'd it go almost all the time, they're going to talk about this stuff first. So Lanny Basham, when he talked about this with winning in mind, gold medal winner, etc. He said basically, start here. Start by asking your kids what was awesome, what was really exciting about today, right? Then ask, okay, what needed a little bit of work. Okay, cool. Then ask, what can we do a little differently so we could be our best? He used different words, but the same basic idea. Good, better, best.

Let's get it on.

Let's be champions.

Hey guys, this is Brian. A lot of People don't know what I do beyond these YouTube videos I put up. So I thought I'd give you a quick tour of our membership platform. Thousands of people have joined us already. 10 bucks a month get access to a ton of stuff that's in addition to what I put up on YouTube for free. So the basic idea is you just watched a micro class. Hope you enjoyed that. I share. I just started doing these micro classes, but I Now share over 50 of these per month. We've shared dozens so far and it's basically a quick class on my absolute favorite stuff off across the different domains of optimal living. Two to three maybe five minute little micro classes on how to optimize your life. In addition to that, you get access to every single one of our Philosopher's notes. We now have over 250 philosopher's notes on some really, really good books. A lot of them in each one of them. You're familiar with the PNTV videos if you've watched many of those. But we also have PDFs and MP3s of our Philosopher's notes. So here's. Let's take a look at what a PDF looks like. This is an example of a Philosopher's note. It's a six page PDF where I basically share some of my favorite thoughts, riff on it, talk about how other teachers say the same things, and give you a nice playful kick in the butt to go out and apply the wisdom that is a Philosopher's note. I record that as an MP3 that you can download as well. And 250 of those, I produce 10 of those at least per month that I share with you in addition to the micro classes. And then you also get access to all of our old classes. We have the five day immersion, reboot habits 101, confidence 101, getting stuff done 101, meditation 101, and then future classes including relationships 101 energy 101 purpose 101 biz 101 goals 101, etc. So there you go.
