Chief MindSetter Sebastian

Mindset is a misnomer because it is not actually "set".

Successful entrepreneurs and executives work with me to rediscover alignment, ease, and happiness in their lives - while taking their business to the next level.

#ChiefMindSetter 👉Cheat, lie and steal back your own mind - to build your business YOUR way 🔥

My mission is to help you increase your impact - with more alignment, ease, and fulfillment.

So, let’s remove the overwhelm and put out the fires of burnout.

Mindset is talked about everywhere in leadership - but it is actually a misnomer!

Why?

Because it is not set, is it?! 

You can adjust and change it at any time!

As #Chief MindSetter I help you do just that. 

I traded my 15+ year career in corporate leadership for following my passion for coaching.

Only to find that I (!) was the most difficult boss to work for. 

It took several years of clearing up my (hidden) stories 
of self-doubt and fear of failure 
to (re)connect with my own emotions, 
align with my true self (yup, I am a tree!), 
and find the courage to help others do the same.

Through all the ups and downs of solopreneurship, 
failed relationships and growing incredible new ones,
I am grateful to my coaches, mentors, and clients!

True success is created by providing value to others and helping them grow.

Work-Life-Integration for me? 
Pursuing my passion for coaching, 
lifelong learning and growth, 
being in the best shape of my life,
 and playing the greatest game of all… being a father of 3.

→ Follow me for research-backed tips on leadership & self-mastery 
for more alignment, ease, and fulfillment in your business and life.

I’ve read over a dozen books on motivation and discipline -
so you don’t have to.

Here’s what you actually need if you want to create more consistency and ease
in your business and your life:

1. Start Before You’re Ready

At the edge of your comfort zone,
you will encounter doubt and fear.
Confidence comes AFTER the fact - 
it is not a requirement for action.

2. Do More Work That Feels Like Play

It’s hard to stay motivated doing boring work.

Conduct an energy audit.
Eliminate the drainers.
Delegate what you can.
Reframe what you get to do.
Work in your zone of genius as much as possible.

3. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Defining success by someone else's standards is a fool's game. 
You don’t know where they started.
Their goals likely don't align with yours.

Instead, measure success by YOUR standards!
What lights YOU up?

4.Create Momentum With Small Daily Actions

Most overnight success?! 
Is really years in the making, through small, consistent, daily actions.
Keep it small enough so you do it -
even when you don't feel like it. 
Consistency is key.

5. Nurture Relationships That Help You Grow

Surround yourself with people who energize you -
and make sure you are never the smartest person in the room.
We are hardwired to mimic and conform to the people in our tribe.
Choose wisely.

6. Hone Your Growth Mindset - Keep Learning

Everything in life can be seen as a gift and opportunity.
The point of solving a problem is not to have no more problems to solve.
It is to grow into the next, bigger problem to solve.

Never stop learning. The day you stop growing is the day you start dying.

7. Do Regular Dopamine Detox

Social media, porn, sugar, and Netflix are hijacking your brain.
If you allow that dopamine addiction, your goals will suffer.
Cut it out - reset your dopamine baseline. 
You’ll find more joy in reading, exercise, and work :)

8.Focus on the Essentials -  Don’t Rely on Hustle

It is your systems that will carry you - 
habits, routines, rituals…
Shorten the time from idea to action.
Focus on doing less - 
to master the essentials that drive YOUR success.

9. Live by Design to Create Your Legacy

What is YOUR big game to play?
Define it, then work backwards to create - 
your ideal week, your ideal day
and take charge of your time and energy again.

10.Unplug and Get Into Nature

There is plenty of scientific evidence for it:
being in nature boosts creativity, reduces stress, 
and makes you happier.

Start with daylight in your eyes as soon as possible after waking.
The best ideas come when you unplug.
You can even take calls outside.

Max had a successful business before,

including a Mastermind he ran for founders and entrepreneurs,

who stayed with him for years.

But he had lost his mojo.

And for years he’d been teaching at 
a renowned business school,
but not coaching anymore.

Max knew all the basics.
He knew what to do.
He just didn’t do it.

During our work together,

he wondered if he should give up coaching altogether.

Because he feared that he had nothing valuable to say.

And, he flat-out hated being on social media.

He was also still passionate about helping leaders

perform at their best - in ALL areas of their lives!

So, we peeled back the layers of his self-doubt and fear.

And he permitted himself to do outreach his way.

Talking to real people - over coffee, on the phone ...
(yep, old school :P).

That helped him to align with HIS values again.
Now it felt easy to grow his business.
Now he was consistent and disciplined in his actions again.

And then?!

That had him talking to a friend who worked at a corporation.

Their HR team was looking for a coach to help with the performance of their executives.

And a few weeks later, Max signed a 6-figure contract.

With just one client. Coaching their executive team - for a year!

They certainly thought he had something of value to offer ;)

Go Max!

PS: If you are ready to create more consistency and discipline with ease… 
dm me “FLOW” and we’ll talk about how…

Constant dropping…
wears the stone. 

I tapped… it cracked.
And the big rock broke into two.
Nice and clean, right down the middle!

Yup, I earned bragging rights to this 😛

But it was really a lesson in consistency!

Last weekend, as part of a project 
at our beach volleyball court,
large sandstone rocks were fitted to build a wall.

One was way too big, so we tried to split it in half.
First our handyman cut it once around with his flex.
But the blade did not cut deep enough.
We then pounded on it,
Picked it up and dropped it with a bulldog,
Hammered away at it some more.
All to no avail.

Until I gave it just one more try..

Nothing too hard, mind you.
Just “tinkering” with it. 
Some stronger strokes,
some lighter taps.

And, what do you know?

The big rock split into two - 
off a light tap I gave it!

The lesson?
Consistency is key! 
Just go at it again.

➡️What is your big rock?

Attention is a limited resource.
So pay attention to where 
you pay attention.

- Howard Rheingold

For me, this means regular dopamine detox.
Cutting out all quick dopamine hits - 
Youtube, netflix, etc.

➡️How do you protect your most valuable resource,
your attention?

You don’t achieve goals.
You grow into them.

- Jim Rohn

➡ What are you growing into?

P.S. Share your outrageous goals for this quarter in the comments.

Here is a question I hear often 
from founders and executives:

How can I delegate more effectively 
to feel less overwhelmed with tasks?

Usually, they specify they want tools or systems.

That’s not how I work though!

First, we’ll explore the situation a bit:

What are the symptoms of your overwhelm?
Spending too much time on work?
Feeling stressed and not working out anymore?
From the symptoms you can explore causes -
like prioritizing, delegating etc.

And then comes the most important question:
What is your inner game:
What are you afraid of?
Where do you doubt yourself?
Where do you feel you have to prove yourself?

Even in a high-pressure and fast-paced environment,
it is usually the high achievers themselves 
who put on the most pressure!

Because you demand more of yourself than your best.
Because you are ultimately afraid to fail (and lose it all).

…

Ok, now we can really do something 
about that sense of overwhelm:

reframe those doubts and fears,
and help you create alignment and ease.

And then, you can make the systems and tools work for you.

#mondayinspiration

You do not rise 
to the level of your goals.
You fall
to the level of your systems.

- James Clear

Nope, not an April Fool’s joke 😛

Systems are best kept simple.
Anything you do regularly 
to address a recurring problem
is a system; i.e. every habit is a system.

➡️What is one system you get to upgrade to
rock your 2nd quarter of 2024?

#mondayinspiration

What you do in the dark,
shines in the light.

➡️ What do you get to do consistently - 
to create more impact and ease in your life?
