Kenny Chapman explains Kaizen, the Japanese concept of continuous improvement, as a mindset of getting better in small ways rather than fixing everything at once. He shares a "sharpen my saw" story and urges you to pick one thing to improve this weekend.
Foreign. And you really. Kaizen, Japanese word for constant. Never ending improvement. Continuous development philosophy about always getting better. I'm Kenny Chapman, the blue collar coach coming to you live with Freedom Friday this week. I want to talk about Kaizen. I'm actually here at a Sean Stephenson event this weekend, sharpening my personal saw. Could I be doing different things with three days in amazing city I live in? Yes, certainly. But could I do something to sharpen my saw? Could I do something to improve my life, which will then in turn improve other people's lives? When you think about kaizen, see, I used to think, oh, man, I've got to get better. I've got to get better. The thing is, what if you're always getting better? What if that's the real thing? See, what if kaizen rather than every single moment of every day, is improvement? What if it's a mindset, my friends? What if it becomes a mindset where you say, you know what? I don't know. When I think about what I'm going to learn with the amazing people in this room, I got my name tag. I'm ready to go see, learn some things. I can channel back to my amazing following and my clients and my Titanium members. I don't know exactly what that's going to be, but I'm going in with a mindset that I'm going to be better than I am now when I'm walking in. What about you? Happy Freedom Friday until we talk. Have a better than fantastic weekend. Do something to get better. Peace.
