Episode 4 - Post-Game Riff (Andrew Kinkler)

“If you have a frustration or a problem that you're experiencing, that's more than likely not the problem itself, that actually is just a symptom of the problem,” explains host Dan Kent. Today, Dan and co-host Matt Pierce get together for a post game riff to talk about takeaways from their coaching session with Andrew Kinkler. For context, check out Episode 2 where Dan and Matt speak with Andrew about the obstacles getting in the way of his business goals. 

 

Much of what was actually holding Andrew back came down to time management and self-accountability. He often found himself “fighting fires” of moment-to-moment business challenges, instead of sticking to his actual plans for the day. This caused his actions to be misaligned with his values and also caused his business to suffer when time was being spent on the wrong things. Andrew was lacking financial clarity and accountability to a time budget. And without these things, it would be difficult to standardize processes and implement systems that could help his business run more smoothly. 

 

How someone structures their day typically comes down to motivation. And that motivation has to be grounded in the things that you value the most and are supremely aligned with your best self. If you are not motivated and not taking accountability for your actions, you will end up spending your time on the wrong things and getting in your own way.
